Product Description from Amazon.com:
The Hitachi VME555LA 8mm camcorder shares many characteristics with the VME545LAVP model, but includes improved zoom capabilities, better low-light capabilities, a more advanced signal processor, and more. Weighing in at around 2 pounds, Hitachi's VME555LA comes equipped with a host of features and options that belie its size. Its 0.25-inch CCD records your videos with up to 270,000-pixel precision. You also have the option of using either a 0.55-inch black-and-white eyepiece viewfinder or a 2.5-inch fold-out/rotatable LCD screen. Zoom capabilities range from 22x optical to 400x digital.
