• 3.1 megapixel CCD
 Looking for a feature-rich still image camera and digital camcorder all in one? This camcorder features a 3.1 Megapixel CCD Image Sensor, which captures images with breathtaking detail. In addition, this camcorder's photos are stored on a memory card, at 2048 x 1512 maximum resolution.
 
• Tele Macro Function
 Useful for shooting close up shots, but without having the camcorder casting a shadow on the subject. Images shot in the Tele Macro Mode will have the subject properly focused with the background unfocused so that the subject stands out.
 
• 2.7-Inch LCD viewfinder
 Need to shoot your footage with ease? The 2.7-Inch viewfinder on this camcorder ensures that you won't miss a single detail.
 
• Superior Quality Lens
 The Leica Dicomar lens incorporates advanced Leica optical technology. The use of low-dispersion glass reduces color aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating process minimizes flare and ghosting. This results in sharp, crisp, beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional shading.
 
• 700x Zoom
 If you need to get up close from a far distance, this camcorder comes with a 700x digital zoom. Record the finest details from even the farthest locations.
 
• 16:9 Wide-screen Capability
 Looking to shoot wide-screen or panoramic footage? This camera supports 16:9 wide-screen format. Shoot breathtaking vistas and full family photos, all at the touch of a button.
 
• MagicPix Images with LCD Light Panel
 MagicPix is a great way to record still images, even in low-light settings. Now you can capture still images in full color onto the camcorder's mini DV tape. Subject illumination can be further enhanced, since the versatile LCD panel can also be used to provide additional light.
 
• SD./SDHC Card Slot
 The PV-GS320 is compatible with Secure Digital (SD) Memory Cards, and is compatible with the mass-storage SD standard based on FAT32 and the SDHC super-high-capacity SD Memory Cards with capacities of more than 2 GB.
 
• FireWire and USB 2.0
 Do you want to transfer your video footage to the video editing software on your home computer? This camcorder comes with both FireWire and USB 2.0 connectors, so you can download your videos and photos to any FireWire or USB 2.0-capable computer.
