DXG introduced today its new Pro Gear™ line, featuring camcorders that are equipped with high-end video capabilities and simple touch-screen controls, appealing to both expert and novice video takers. The DXG-A80V is the first model in this new line of products and is available at retailers today for $299.99.
The DXG-A80V sports an ultra-compact ergonomic design for comfortable filming and playback on an impressive 3-inch LCD touch-screen. With the ability to record true 1080p at 30fps or take digital still images up to 10 megapixels, the DXG-A80V is the most advanced camcorder in DXG’s current line of products. The DXG-A80V can also capture 1080i resolution video at 60fps, which is ideal for sports and action shots.
Equipped with a built-in Gyro sensor for electronic image stabilizer and 5X optical zoom, you can easily and steadily capture hours of action-packed footage. The DXG-A80V also features an AF Lock Function which disables the camcorder’s autofocus feature, giving more experienced video enthusiasts the ability to manually control and fine tune the focus on a subject.
Supporting high-capacity SD cards up to 32GB and outfitted with an HDMI video interface and included HDMI cable, you have support for hours of recording capacity and the ability to seamlessly share all your experiences on a HDTV. While a useful digital voice recording function allows you to make instant to-do lists before picking up the kids or heading out for your next adventure.
“We are thrilled to be launching an entirely new line of Pro Gear™ products that cater specifically to the technology and functionality needs of experienced video takers, yet are intuitive and affordable so novice users can film like pros in no time,” said Paul Goldberg, senior vice president of sales and marketing at DXG USA. “The DXG-A80V features a slick, extremely comfortable design and is the first of our products to offer touch-screen technology and 1080i recording at 60fps, making it the ideal gadget to capture action-packed footage.”
