The Sony [...]]]> The Sony Handycam HDR-TD20V is a very innovative handycam camcorder. Its EXMOR R sensor is able to capture up to 20 megapixels still images and 1920×1080 full HD 60fps/24fps videos. The Sony HR-TD20V utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920 x 1080 3D video for a more immersive 3D experience.

The Sony HDR-TD20V has a Double Full HD 3D camcorder with an autostereoscopic 3D (glasses-free) playback monitor. It features Twin BSI CMOS sensors will record light gathered by twin wide angle lenses. Optical zoom once again maxes out at 10x, with optical SteadyShot in 3D and 2D shooting modes. It also features 64 GB of internal flash memory.

The Sony Handycam HDR-TD20V camcorder has a 3.5-inch glasses-free LCD, 64GB of flash storage, and dual Exmor R CMOS sensors behind 17x optical zoom lenses, which record at 1080p 60 and 24. The Sony TDV20 is also capable of 60p recording and playback via HDMI and a compatible HDTV, which provides stunning clarity and incredibly detailed playback of your videos. Plus, if you’re looking for a film-like quality to your video, 24p recording is also available.

The HDR-TD20V utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920 x 1080 3D video for a more immersive 3D experience. Each Exmor CMOS sensor affords stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.

The HDR-TD20V Handycam has a built-in dual lens system, as well as two sensors which enables the TD20V to capture what Sony calls Double Full HD 3D. These two Full HD images are overlapped to create the 3D effect. A 10x zoom, manual focus, and manual exposure are available during 3D recording, but other controls are very limited. Many of the advanced auto functions, like focus tracking, scene modes, and smooth slow record don’t function during 3D recording.

Manual control access includes iris, shutter, exposure, and white balance; as well as a dedicated 2D/3D switch. A 5.1 channel surround microphone is included, and the camcorder’s software is capable of face detection with voice enhancement and noise reduction.

Reviews

camcorderinfo.com reviews writes:

“A lot of the time when we see new products at CES, we come away disappointed that there aren’t enough updates or new features to make us excited. Manufacturers often love to “re-release” camcorders with a few design changes and mildly improved specs that translate to little improvement in performance or handling. We’re hinting that the Sony HDR-TD20V may be this kind of camcorder, although we can’t say for sure until we get the model into our labs for a thorough test.”
