Amazon.com Product Description
Capable of superb, DVD-like video recording with CD-like audio quality, the unique Fisher FVDC1 CameraCorder can also take high-resolution, 3.2-megapixel still images. Compact enough to fit snugly in your hand or carry easily inside a pocket or small purse--and weighing just 5.4 ounces--it's the ideal, all-in-one device for capturing life's special moments whenever and wherever they occur.

Storage is completely "tapeless," using a postage stamp-size 512 megabyte SD memory card, which lets you record up to 30 minutes of full-motion video at 30 frames-per-second (VGA-size of 640 x 480). In still mode, the 512 MB card can store up to 491 images (2048 x 1536), more than enough for crisp, sharp 11 x 14-inch color prints. And, unlike ordinary camcorders, you can simultaneously capture still images even while recording in video mode with a simple shutter press.

The CameraCorder comes with a Multifunction Docking Station that connects to a computer via an included high-speed USB 2.0 connection cable. The Docking Station can be used as a battery charger or as an AC power source during playback. It can also be used to easily connect the CameraCorder to a TV or PC for convenient, instant playback of recently shot videos and images. A handy, ultra-thin infrared remote control is included for simplified menu browsing and playback.
