The ultra-compact Sony® DCR-SX60 Handycam® camcorder can record video to 16GB of 
embedded memory or removable Memory Stick Duo™  or Memory Stick PRO Duo™  media. A 
professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens delivers sharp, high resolution images and its 60x

16GB embedded memory:

16GB of embedded memory can 
record and store up to almost 12 
hours of video footage (SD LP

60X Optical / 2000X Digital Zoom:

Ideal for sporting events, wildlife, or 
distance shooting, 60X optical 
zoom brings you closer to the 
action, so you can capture 
extremely tight shots, even from 

far away. In addition, Digital Zoom 
Interpolation means that extreme 
digital zooming (up to 2000X) is 
clearer, with less distortion than 
previous types of digital zooms.

sharpness and contrast of larger 
lenses, and SteadyShot™  image 
stabilization helps reduce blur 
caused by camera shake.
