3 Megapixel CCD
The unique Sony Primary Colour Filter on the 3 Megapixel CCD is comprised of RGB filters for more accurate colour reproduction.
The Sony DCR-DVD403E camcorder provides true 16:9 widescreen recording, taking advantage of the full width of the 3 Megapixel CCD, results in a wider angle of view than 4:3 recording.
This is ideal for playback on todays popular widescreen TVs and for widescreen playback on the camera itself the camcorders also feature a 2.7-inch Wide Hybrid LCD monitor.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens
The advanced multi-layer T* coating within the Carl Zeiss lenses minimizes reflections, reduces flare and increases contrast. This results in brilliantly vivid images, natural colour saturation and precise renditions of subtle tones. A 10X Optical Zoom lens ensures high quality during zooming and close focussing.
5.1-channel Surround Recording
The Sony DCR-DVD403E Handycam features a built-in microphone that is always ready to record in 5.1-channel Surround sound, producing a complete DVD that can be played back to the full on a home theatre system. 5.1-channel surround audio is perfect for use in conjunction with todays widescreen TVs giving a cinematic sound and feel to your home movies.

True 16:9 widescreen (Sony DCR-DVD202E and Sony DCR-DVD203E Camcorders)
The Sony DCR-DVD202E and Sony DCR-DVD203E Handycams provide true 16:9 widescreen recording, taking advantage of the full width of the 1 Megapixel CCD, resulting in a wider angle of view and a higher resolution picture than 4:3 methods.
