With the DCR-PC5, Sony achieved super compactness and no degradation in quality as the DCR-PC5 meets the demand of customers for an "All-In-One" and "Feature Rich" camcorder in a small package. Its super compact size is 16% smaller compared to a previous model. The DCR-PC5 provides the same excellent digital picture quality that customers look for in a Sony Handycam. With the addition of the Progressive Shutter System, customers can capture great looking still pictures and store them through the built-in Memory Stick slot. I/O Terminals are also not a problem as there is no need to use adapters. There is even a RS232C (Serial) interface built-in.
