Sony's revolutionary DCR-IP220 Network Handycam camcorder IP uses MICROMV technology to deliver exceptional video and still image quality in an incredibly compact and ingeniously designed package. Not only does the DCR-IP220 record exceptional video at 530 lines of resolution, but the still image resolution is unprecedented for a Sony Handycam camcorder at 1600x1200 (2 megapixels)! This unit features an all-new design with the 2-1/2' SwivelScreen color LCD mounted on the back, making it even easier to see the action as it happens. And video and still images on Memory Stick media can be easily emailed or posted to the Internet, right from the camera, using Bluetooth networking technology! Early Adopters Pick: Oct ober 2002. The world's first digital camcorder that also takes 2.1-megapixe l digital still pictures; weighs only 24 ounces and has integrated Bluetooth te chnology to transfer images to a computer without wires or cables. Sony's 2-megapixel DCR-IP220 is a serious recording tool for the digital videographer who wants all of Sony's advanced features in a single camcorder. The DCR-IP220 records on the miniscule MicroMV tapes, offers Super NightShot and Night Framing modes, hologram autofocusing, and Bluetooth connectivity. Unfortunately, all of these hefty features add up to a fairly hefty price. Assuming that cost isn't an object, this camcorder does pretty much anything you'd want it to. The MicroMV tapes--70 percent smaller than MiniDV--each have a 64 KB memory chip so you can scan through different sections of the tape like a DVD, locating scenes by their thumbnails. The high-detail 2.5-inch LCD swings up above the camcorder, and pivots 270-degrees so you can view it from almost any angle--including in front of the camera. The LCD also serves as a touchscreen interface, with a stylus for accessing menus, and it displays both approximate battery life and remaining storage space. For storing short clips and still images (at 1,600 by 1,200 resolution), the DCR-IP220 features a Memory Stick slot and includes an 8 MB stick. Its night and low-light filming capabilities are quite impressive--we were able to read details from across a darkened room with the Super NightShot mode. And the Night Framing mode takes bright, full-color still images in limited light. Connectivity options abound, with FireWire (either camera to camera or camera to PC), USB, and Bluetooth support built into the camcorder. It also includes a color viewfinder, intelligent pop-up flash, and an adequate (although not stellar) 10x optical zoom. Sony's DCR-IP220 isn't for the faint of wallet, but if you're not satisfied with anything but the best, this camcorder was built for you. --J. Curtis Pros: Excellent night modes Sharp, high-resolution video and image quality Unique and compact tapes Cons: Expensive (though chock-full of cutting-edge features) Only 10x zoom Sony's FireWire-equipped DCR-IP220 MicroMV Handycam camcorder features a 2.1-megapixel CCD sensor and offers 530 lines of horizontal video resolution and still image resolution of 1,600 x 1,200 pixels. The DCR-IP220 boasts Carl Zeiss optics with an advanced multilayer coating. It features a 10x optical and 120x precision digital zoom, SteadyShot picture stabilization, and a super NightShot infrared system for recording in total darkness--new to MicroMV Handycam camcorders. In addition to video, the DCR-IP220 offers enhanced digital still photo features, including intelligent pop-up flash and hologram AF--an autofocus feature designed to achieve accurate subject focus with minimal contrast in dark conditions. Through an MPEG movie AD mode, the DCR-IP220 also allows you to capture MPEG1 compressed video and audio for up to 60 seconds directly to Memory Stick media in four different quality modes: light, standard, fine, and super fine. The MicroMV tape is 70 percent smaller than a MiniDV tape and provides up to 60 minutes of digital video footage. It has a 64K memory chip that allows for a multisearch function to access different recorded sections of the tape as one would on a DVD, creating a thumbnail image of each recorded scene on the tape. Additionally, whenever a MicroMV cassette is inserted into the camcorder or the VCR mode is used, cassette information is automatically displayed on the LCD, showing the first and last date of use, how much recording space remains, and titling capability so the user can title the videotape. Connect to your PC or Mac via a super-fast IEEE 1394 port (also called FireWire). You can also connect wirelessly to a Bluetooth-enabled PC.

While the images are accpetable, I am have a terrible time capturing software. If your main goal is video editing, then this camera will be a nightmare. Pros: Small, relatively easy to operate. CONS: expensive camera, expensive tapes, still images are not of good quality when considering a comparable still camera, proprietary format may go way of betamax. No microphone jack, makinig it hard to hear people in crowded area. While using pinnacle, when ... Read More Rating - microMV is not for everyone on paper, the IP220 looks like a winner. but after a close look and i'm not as sold... pros: - delivers vibrant colors when shooting in daylight. - 10x carl zeiss vario-sonnar T* lens. - 2MP still capability. - great connectivity options: firewire, USB, S-video, headphone, bluetooth, mic input, etc. - has a built in pop-up flash for taking stills. - steady shot and night shot. - ability to record mpeg videos directly to memory stick. - top-loading cassette. - boatloads ... Read More Rating - Micromv:Not for the Serious Computer Video Editor I bought the Sony DCR IP220 because of its 2.0 Megapixel capabilities and while I love the resolution that it displays on the TV, I am not impressed with the quality of footage after capturing to computer. Here are the pros and cons that I have found: PROS: 1.Great resolution and great quality video produced (530 lines and 2.2 megapixels). (5 star quality) 2. Digital zoom (X700) works fine using a tripod and produces somewhat clear images. Any zoom magnification up to X120, produces very clear moving images. Read More Rating - DCR-IP220 - Good ergonomics, but unproven tape format Pros: Small size. Good ergonomics. Screen on back. Still photos. Compact tapes & batteries. Cons: Expensive. MicroMV format may or may not equal MiniDV. Lens could be more wide-angle. I found the camera easy to carry, though I kind of wish it had a neck strap. I think the size is about right - not too small to handle, but still very easy to carry. One complaint/frustration was that its lense doesn't seem to be as wide-angle as I'm used to - trying to tape inside buildings, etc. I found myself constantly backing ... Read More Rating - Very good camcorder except... I bought my IP220 two weeks ago. The unit is fairly compact and light which I carry to places with ease. The pros: 1. Video quality is excellent, same for the recorded sound qulity which is crystal clear 2. Swivel LCD panel is very easy to use and innovative 3. Touch screen feature works well and is pretty user-friendly 4. The set sits perfectly in the palm and the finger position also fits very nicely with the zoom lever, photo button and record button The cons: 1. Even with 2.1 Mega pixels ...
