Smarter, simpler

For family fun and a whole lot more

Beyond high technology, Handycam® performance relies on close attention to human factors. Such as the flexibility to create, shape, share, and discover better ways for images to really move you. Plus, it focuses on carefree yet functional approaches to get to the heart of a subject. Sony’s know-how is dedicated to more fun and exciting moviemaking, from start to finish. It's more than a new Handycam®, it’s a handier way to provide as much happiness as you can handle – for this generation and the lucky ones to come. 


For steadier images shot on the move

Optical SteadyShot™ with Intelligent Active Mode

Shoot steady movie images even while walking or zooming. Advanced image stabilization compensates for camera shake up to 13x more effectively compared to standard mode.


See life in a new light

Where visionary technology and design meet, Handycam® image quality reigns supreme. A ZEISS lens, an Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor and a BIONZ X™ image processing engine provide the essence of picture performance. Expansive zoom coverage as wide as 26.8 mm, and XAVC S 50 Mbps high-bitrate recording that captures scenes of remarkably dynamic detail.
