This camcorder is great due to its NightShotŪ O Lux infrared recording system, an advanced feature that lets you shoot great video even in total darkness. The swiveling 2.5-inch color LCD makes it easy to frame your shots, and the 20x optical zoom (with 460x digital zoom) lets you bring the action in close. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery allows for a decent recording time of up to 160 minutes.
