Sony HXR-MC1500E Shoulder Mount PAL AVCHD Camcorder

The Sony HXR-MC1500E Shoulder Mount PAL AVCHD Camcorder is the go-to solution when you're ready to leave tape behind and step up to a file-based video workflow. Whether shooting 576i standard-definition or 1080/50i HD video, this sturdy performer will capture hours of high-quality images onto either removable media or a large 32GB internal hard drive. Composite, component, and HDMI ports give you a choice of video output, while the included shotgun microphone is accompanied by a stereo mini jack to attach a second external mic.

Sporting a 12x G lens, 0.2" viewfinder, and 2.7" LCD display, the HXR-MC1500E's impressive form factor is about more than simply saying "pro" to your clients. Unlike smaller, handheld units, this camera can rest comfortably on your shoulder for rock-steady handheld shooting--aided further by Sony's Optical SteadyShot with Active mode. Perfect for weddings, sporting events, and corporate or educational videos, the HXR-MC1500E represents an affordable transition into solid state, professional imaging.
