Summary

The 2.11 megapixel digital camcorder is here, and it's from Sony. Sony's DCR-IP220 Network Handycam Camcorder IP uses MICROMV technology to deliver exceptional video and still image quality in an incredibly compact and ingeniously-designed package. Not only does the DCR-IP220BT record exceptional video at 530 lines of resolution, but the still image resolution is unprecedented for a Sony Handycam camcorder at 1600x1200 (2 megapixels)! This unit features a design with the 2-1/2" SwivelScreen color LCD mounted on the back, making it even easier to see the action as it happens. And video and still images on Memory Stick Media can be easily emailed or posted to the Internet, right from the camera, using Bluetooth networking technology!
