The DCR-PC3 builds on the success of Sony's diminutive PC1 camcorder by adding a touch screen for easier use. This camera includes a 12x optical zoom lens matched to a 680,000-pixel Super HAD low-noise CCD sensor. An iLink (IEEE 1394) port allows quick and easy transfers of footage to a computer or to other camcorders, and a LanC plug allows connection to video editing equipment. In digital still camera mode, the PC3 captures images at a resolution of 640 x 480. A 4 MB card is included.
