With its full-flat body and brushed aluminum surface, this stunning example of modern design looks nothing like you'd expect a camcorder to look. But the GR-DVP3 doesn't just look incredible. It also offers truly incredible performance. With its 680, 000-pixel CCD and its Super High-Band Processor, the GR-DVP3 is no lightweight when it comes to image quality.

To ensure that the image is as sharp and crisp as possible, the high-band processor intelligently calculates and restores the high-band components of the luminance signal that would be lost in conventional processing.

The HG Snapshot function is able to deliver high resolution still pictures using a combination of mechanical shutter system and 680, 000-pixel CCD to capture highly detailed full frame stills offering 1.5 times the vertical resolution of conventional field stills.

For even more convenience, the GR-DVP3 incorporates a USB terminal for quick, plug-and-play high-speed data transfer (digital stills/sound effects/MPEG4 clips) to any USB-equipped computer. For additional flexibility, it's also provided with a removable SD Memory Card (8MB) that makes it easy to download digital stills, video clips and sound effects from the camera to a compatible PC, or vice versa.
