The smarter, the simpler

For family fun and a whole lot more

Plus, the focus on more carefree yet functional approaches to get to the heart of a subject. The integrity of Sony's know-how is dedicated to more fun and exciting movie-making, from start to finish. So this is more than just a new Handycam®, it's a handier way of providing as much happiness as you can handle - for this generation and those lucky ones to come.

See life in a new light

At the intersection of visionary technology and design, Handycam® image quality reigns supreme. A ZEISS lens, Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor and BIONZ X™ image processing engine are the essence of picture performance. Zoom coverage as wide as 26.8mm is expansive, and XAVC S 50Mbps high-bitrate recording captures scenes of remarkable dynamism in detail.
