Sony DCR-HC28 Press Release Excerpt

With such a wide variety of DV editing software in the marketplace, serious video editors are drawn to mini DV tape camcorders. Sony is introducing three tape-based models with feature sets to suit beginners and advanced camcorder users.

… the new DCR-HC38 camcorder has a powerful 40x optical zoom and wide viewing angle, and an on-screen usage guide that explains the menu functions.

All of the new mini DV models deliver a combination of Carl Zeiss optics, Sony’s high-resolution CCD imaging technology, and long battery life. For instance, the DCR-HC28 unit can record up to 14 hours with an optional FH100 battery, which is compatible with all of Sony’s 2007 camcorders and backwards compatible with select 2006 models.

The DCR-HC48, 38, and 28 will also be available in February for about $400, $330, and $280, respectively.
