SHARP VL-Z1U Digital Viewcam Camcorder

The VL-Z1U Digital camcorder is a one-handed solution that features an integrated rotational pivot point in the center of the unit for ease-of-use and more comfort while recording. This unique body design leads to a smaller camcorder and allows total flexibility while recording. The VL-Z1U Digital camcorder incorporates CG Silicon™ LCD screen technology for a high-resolution image during playback and when framing subjects. CG Silicon LCD technology from Sharp is a new solution in size and resolution for high style digital applications.

Features

provides higher resolution and less power consumption than standard LCD screens. In addition, its performance in bright sunlight is superior.

225º Angle Rotation (Swivel Grip)
allows you to easily shoot difficult angles and easily handle the Viewcam when recording. The swivel grip provides increased hand comfort.

10x Optical / 500x Digital Zoom Lens
The 10x optical zoom lens produces a true-to-life accurate image using lens groups, and the 500x digital zoom allows for image capture at a much larger distance.

Viewfinder
is provided in addition to the CG Silicon LCD screen for even more flexibility when recording.
