Description

The GR-DX97 with its smart design allows you to hold the camcorder in the palm of your hand or vertically thanks to a second zoom control. But it's not just the comfortable feel that makes the GR-DX97 a powerful performer. There's an f/1.2 super bright lens capable of obtaining over 2x's the amount of light compared to a typical f/1.8 lens for high quality videos and excellent digital stills. Three Dimensional Noise Reduction eliminates picture noise up to 30% in low light situations. Keep your subject in view outdoors with a 3.0 inch Clear LCD that reduces glare and reflections, and a built-in auto Illumi-Light for 1/10th the power consumption. There's also a color viewfinder, Power-Linked Operation, Night Alive, and 700x Super Digital Zoom with Spline Interpolation. Take HG digital stills at 1026 x 768 / 640 x 480 and for convenience store them on the supplied 8MB MMC card. Be your own celebrity with the power and performance of the GR-DX97.
