Sony DCR-IP1 Review

Summary

Describing this new model as being “as stylish as its market”, Sony claims that the slim and light design of the DCR-IP1 makes it the ideal portable camcorder. All the main parts of the camcorder have been slimmed down and streamlined, incorporating a miniature lens, a slim line mechanical deck, a compact and streamlined LCD panel and a single-piece circuit board into the tiny camera body. With portability in mind, it possesses all the features and image quality of the MICROMV camcorder range. Powered by a 1 Mega Pixel CCD for high definition video and optimum colour reproduction, the DCR-IP1 sports a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar Lens with a 10x Variable Optical Zoom as well as a 120x Precision Digital Zoom. It also features an integral automatic lens cover that slides open automatically when the power is on – so no more fumbling for the lens cap.
