With these great features and so many more, you'll love the freedom you get with the Palmcorder Camcorders. The Color Viewfinder (114, 000 pixels) on this camera is not only comfortable to use but it also saves on battery power when used during recording and playback VHS Compatibility allows it's tapes to play in your VCR, 20x Hi-Definition Zoom / 150x Digital Zoom for extraordinary close-up shots, so you are always close to the action.
