The Sony dsr-pd170 mini dv is a a broadcast quality
camcorder that can actually be used to shoot feature films.
Using 3 ccds, instead of only 1 ccd like some dv camcorders,
you get increased color and detail
accuracy in the picture. 3 ccds record the red, blue
and green colors individually resulting in much better end
quality. Not only can you shoot digital video footage but
you can also snap digital still shots, with a resolution
of up to 640 x 480 pixels.

battery, AC power adapter, remote control and lens

One consumer at Epinions.com writes - "I have previously
reviewed Sony's smallest, 3-CCD professional camcorders,
including the current DSR-PDX10. I found these to be perfectly
competent models that could easily be mistaken for consumer
camcorders, even as they shoot with three-chip quality and
record in the professional DVCAM (25 Mbps) format"
Another dsr-pd170
review states - "I recently purchased
the Sony DSR-PD170 Digital Camcorder for use in my business
of videotaping weddings. I researched the camera on the internet
before I purchased it and was pleased to find an abundance
of information on Sony's Website. In fact, they had an online
brochure that outline all the features this powerful camera
has to offer. For example, the camera gives you the ability
for total control. You can adjust the white balance, iris,
shutter speed, and gain (there are also automatic controls
if the manual ones intimidate you)."
