PAL Camcorder for Use in Europe & Asia

Designed for TV and HDTV systems in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America - the Sony HDR-TD20E Full HD 3D Handycam Camcorder (PAL) is perfect for capturing your 3D adventures, memories and events. The camera features dual, full HD sensors that shoot true 3D videos with 1920 x 1080p resolution at 50 or 25 frames per second (fps). You'll be able to capture eye-popping home movies that will blow your friends and family away when viewed on your 3D HDTV or the 3.5" LCD TruBlack display, which requires no special 3D glasses. Of course, those 3D movies can also be viewed in 2D. Plus, the camera can record straight 2D movies and capture digital stills as well. It features an internal 64GB embedded flash memory for storing your footage. The HDR-TD20E utilizes two "Exmor R" sensors, which capture 1920 x 1080 3D video and are back-illuminated for excellent shooting - even in low light situations.

Other features that facilitate the camcorder's impressive video quality include full HD 2D 1920 x 1080 recording and dual wide-angle Sony G lenses that afford a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle shooting in both 2D and 3D modes.
