3CCD and Advanced Color Pure Engine
A 3CCD optical system is an absolute prerequisite for a professional-level camera. The AG-DVC20 combines this with the digital processing Advanced Color Pure Engine to capture consistently sharp, vivid images.

10x optical zoom lens and 500x digital zoom
The AG-DVC20 comes with a powerful 10x optical zoom lens and adds a digital zoom function that provides ultra-telephoto zooming all the way to 500x. Its large multi-speed zoom rocker is conveniently positioned on the handle grip for easy, responsive zoom operation.

Shoulder-held design
The AG-DVC20 features a convenient shoulder-held design, extra-large handle grip, fingertip zoom control, and LCD panel and viewfinder for easy framing and viewing. A shoulder-mounted camera yields more stable images with minimal hand shaking, earns that "on the job respect," and the larger body size also acts as a deterrent against theft.
