The Sony PJ820E records Full High Definition video and features a built-in 50 Lumen projector with Auto Keystone adjustment. Perfect for recording and playing footage for friends and family, the PJ820E also features a HDMI multi-terminal which accepts HDMI output from other devices such as Digital TV Tuners and DVD players.

A back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor is combined with a powerful BIONZ X image processor to deliver sharp Full HD video with exceptionally low-noise results when shooting in low-light conditions. A maximum of 60fps frame rate and vibrant 24.5 megapixel stills are also available to ensure you are equipped to handle a broad range of photo and video scenarios including weddings, family gatherings or shooting your child’s soccer training from the safety of the sidelines.

The quality sensor has been coupled with a versatile wide-angle Sony G Lens which features a 12x optical zoom with a bright maximum f/1.8 aperture. A 24x Clear Image digital zoom doubles the effective focal range and can be utilised for extra magnification of far-away subjects. Built-in SteadyShot image stabilisation works in conjunction with the sensor and lens to minimise camera shake for incredibly smooth results.

5.1 Channel Dolby Digital audio recording captures sound from all directions to allow you to re-produce the authentic soundscape at the time of recording. Additional features such as Auto Wind Noise Reduction and My Voice Cancelling enhance the audio capture by minimising unwanted or distracting elements from the scene. An external mic input is also available to support microphones equipped with a stereo mini-jack.

Composition is a joy in virtually any lighting condition with the 0.27-inch colour Electronic viewfinder. Alternatively, the large 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD screen which features a sharp 921k-dot resolution makes a great EVF substitute. Its swivel design allows for easy composition from high and low shooting angles to encourage you to explore new and creative perspectives.

Built-in WiFi with NFC connectivity opens up a world of creative possibilities. Simply touch your compatible smartphone or tablet to the camera for a fast, hassle-free wireless connection. Once connected, you can use the free PlayMemories Mobile app to remotely control the camera as well as wirelessly transfer files to your mobile device or computer for backup and simple sharing with your friends, family and favourite social networks.

With a Multi-interface Accessory Shoe for attaching additional accessories such as a video light or external display, 64GB of internal storage and the built-in 50 lumen projector, the Sony HDR-PJ820E HandyCam will propel your movies and storytelling to new heights and new audiences.
