Product Description
The VL-NZ50 is a perfect entry-level digital camcorder with an iLink PC interface and full on-screen information. The on-screen displays for battery level and amount of tape remaining allow the operator to devote full attention to filming without the distraction of monitoring battery strength and time remaining on the tape. The 10x optical lens provides the best picture quality and the digital 300x zoom allows images to be captured at distance. Digital Image Stabilization compensates for image shake when a tripod is not used improving the quality of the video. I-Link digital port serves to transfer full motion video and sound to a PC equipped with an I-Link port for video editing on a PC. The built-in speaker allows on-the-spot playback with sound for checking and for viewing video footage anywhere. Both gain up and backlight compensation correct the exposure in poor lighting conditions to easily capture the best picture possible. An on screen recording guide helps the user line-up landscape footage and can be used as a guide for the safe zone or center of lens for easy framing of subject matter. Digital Picture Effects allow different digital effects (B&W, Sepia, NEG) to be viewed without affecting the original recording and to your video a custom edited look.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Sharp VL-NZ50 is a great entry-level digital camcorder, featuring a large 3-inch LCD monitor, 10x optical and 300x digital zoom, and digital image stabilization.

Lens
With an optical zoom magnification of 10x, the VL-NZ50 also has a digital zoom--which works by electronically enhancing the optical image--that can magnify the picture up to 300 times. The digital image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes.

Other Features
With its 270-degree variable angle, you can hold the VL-NZ50 in a variety of angles to record over people and objects or film close to the ground. You can even record yourself by rotating the view screen 180 degrees.

The built-in speaker allows on-the-spot playback with sound for checking and viewing video footage anywhere. An on-screen recording guide helps you line up landscape footage and can be used as a guide for easy framing of subject matter. The backlight compensation feature corrects exposure in poor lighting conditions.

The VL-NZ50 also features several digital effects (black and white, sepia, NEG) that can be viewed without affecting the original recording.

Inputs and Outputs
The VL-NZ50 comes with the standard DV IEEE 1394 port (also known as FireWire; Sharp refers to this connection as iLink) for a super-fast, lossless connection to a PC or other DV machines.

MiniDV Format
MiniDV digital technology delivers clear, sharp video with over 500 lines of horizontal resolution--far superior to the 240 lines of resolution offered by 8mm camcorders. You'll also get minimal color noise interference for a more stable picture.

The camera also features excellent sound quality, recorded in either 12-bit or 16-bit audio recording modes.

This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12th the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of two full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.

Contents
This package comes with the VL-NZ50 camcorder, one rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, tripod adapter, remote control (and batteries), AV dubbing cables, wrist strap, and lens cap.

1 out of 5 stars A BIG WASTE OF MONEY AND EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.......2001-11-07

You would be better off buying the separate cards than trying to download any of their titles off their site. I purchased the speaking Spanish English download and was unable to copy it to the card. They were very slow to respond when I e-mailed them and I've had no help after 2 attempts.
