PAL 4GB Memory Stick® Handycam® Camcorder by Sony is ideal for capturing the moment during a family outing or a sporting event, wherein it features not only an embedded 4GB memory, but also a removable Memory Stick® Duo or Memory Stick® PRO Duo media, ideal for expansion.

4GB of embedded memory: record/store up to 2 hours 55 minutes of Video footage (LP mode)

60X Optical zoom brings you closer to the action, so you can capture extremely tight shots, even from far away
