What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
GUI Menu (Graphical User Interface) - the menu is easy to understand and find your way through because it uses pictures, not just words High Capacity Battery - spare batteries are available in higher capacity so they last longer. Also, you can reduce charge time by 25% using the optional fast charger (ACVQH10) Photos - allows you to take still shots from your video camera so you don't always need to take lots of cameras with you Super Steady Shot (Image Stabilisation) - helps eliminate blur due to shaky hands which is very important at full zoom (a small movement of the hand can cause a lot of movement at the other end) |

Sony says:
40GB High-Capacity Hard Disk Drive: Record up to 27.5 hours of digital video (over 9.5 hours in HQ mode for DVD-quality video) without the need for external or extra media. The impressive capacity allows for extensive digital video recording directly to the camcorder Hard Disk Drive.
One-Touch Disc Burn with Handycam® Station: For simple connectivity to your TV or PC. There’s no need to rearrange cables or wires when recharging the battery or playing recorded footage. With the added convenience of One-Touch Disc Burn, you can archive your memories on DVD quickly and easily with a compatible PC and DVD burner.
HDD Smart Protection: Built-in Shock Absorbers protect the hard disk drive from damage when accidentally dropped or mishandled. 3G Sensor technology automatically detects falling and removes the HDD write head from the hard disk to make sure your video is safely guarded. Once stabilized, the buffered video stream resumes recording and footage is preserved seamlessly.
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens: Carl Zeiss has teamed up with Sony to deliver high-detail digital video. The quality and precision of the Vario-Tessar lens guarantees a crisp, distortion-free picture. Capture every moment with true-to-life image accuracy and spectacular clarity.

This convenient way to store and transfer data allows you to connect to a variety of hardware and software applications, including the supplied ‘Picture Motion Browser’ software.
InfoLITHIUM™ Battery System: By exchanging data such as consumption rates and remaining battery, Sony’s unique battery system never leaves you short. InfoLITHIUM batteries can also be recharged without the “memory effect” common to Ni-Cad batteries.
