About this product

Product Information

The Sony DSR-200 Digital Camcorder is being used around the world for a variety of professional video applications. A compact and lightweight body, coupled with the superior picture quality of digital signal processing DSP and the DVCAM format, make it an ideal acquisition tool. In order to meet increasing demands of the video professional, Sony is now introducing an enhanced version - DSR-200A Digital Camcorder. This camcorder incorporates many new features including a minimum illumination of 3 lx, 16: 9/4: 3 aspect ratio capability, OSD (On Screen Display) ON/OFF capability, Time/Date superimposition and many others. With these additional features, the DSR-200A is the ideal choice for various demands of video journalists, event videographers, stringers and production houses.The DSR-200A offers superior pictures by using 10-bit digital signal processing. DSP technology brings high stability and reliability. In addition, the digital signal is digitally transferred from the camera to the VTR without any signal degradation and minimal signal loss. The DSR-200A is capable of PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) digital recording of stereo sound both in 32 kHz mode (4-channel/12-bit non-linear) and in 48 kHz mode (2-channel/ 16-bit linear). In 32 kHz mode, the DSR-200A records audio on two channels during shooting, and another stereo channel can be added. If higher sound quality is required, equivalent to DAT, you can record in 48 kHz mode. Basic commands such as recording and playback can be made using the Sony RMT-806 Wireless Remote Controller supplied with the DSR-200A.

  • At long last a Sony video camera of poor design and quality

    After testing the Sony 200A "DVCAM", it failed so badly in image quality and operability that I DONATED IT TO A GOODWILL STORE within a week of purchasing one, used, from Ebay. The professional DVCAM format is an excellent tape format which I have used in higher end camcorders. The 200A not only isn't a "professional quality" product, it doesn't meet most currently expected amateur expectations. The menu controls are extremely awkward and the lens has no back-focus adjustment, so it goes out of focus when the zoom adjustment is used. The later versions have been improved and the high end professional DVCAM's are very good. Sony must have learned a lot from the shortcomings of this product. I wasted my money.
