PreTec DV4200i MPEG-4 Camcorder with 2.1 Megapixel CCD, 1.8-inch Color LCD, 64MB SD, and AV input description
The Pretec DV4200i is a revolutionary MPEG-4 digital camcorder with 2.1-megapixel digital still camera. This tapeless digital camcorder is capable of storing up to 3 hours of video--at VHS quality or better--with an optional 512 MB memory card. The included 64 MB Secure Digital (SD) memory card will hold approximately 20 minutes of video.

Still images can be taken at a resolution of 2.1 megapixels--for prints up to 8 x 10 inches--making the DV4200i one of the highest resolution camcorders with still image capability available as of March, 2003.

Using high-compression MPEG-4 technology with patented techniques of Advanced Simple Profile, including quarter-pel motion estimation, the DV4200i is the world's first camcorder to reach 30 frames-per-second using MPEG-4 encoding/decoding.

The DV4200i is practical for every office or family use, offering 30fps and AAC audio, which compresses much more efficiently than older formats such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.

With the AV-in feature of the DV4200i selected, you can transfer all your favorite movies or recordings from different media--VHS tape, VCD, DVD, etc.--to MPEG-4 video.

Other features include:

  • 1.8-inch TFT (transreflective) color LCD screen
  • USB 1.1 interface
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to 60 minutes of recording
  • NTSC/PAL output
  • 2x digital zoom
  • Voice recording feature

♥♥♥♥♥ GREAT CAMERA FOR PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a review for the Pretec DV-4200i. I was looking for an SD camcorder and I can tell you that I got a LOT more with this camera! The camera shoots at 30fps (currently the ONLY one at this price at MPEG4 quality). It also will record your VHS and DVD tapes onto it so then you can transfer it to your computer! I've transfered and videotaped all kinds of things and sent them to friends. If you have old home movies....transfer them to your computer with the camera and then save them on disk! It also is a fairly good Digital still camera. It is also an mp3 recorder and audio recorder. THERE IS ONE REVIEW FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE THAT STATES THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR THIS CAMERA......THIS IS WRONG!!!!!! THEY DO HAVE REPLACEMENT BATTERIES AT WWW.PRETEC.COM!!!!!!
I use this all of the time and if you are looking for an awesome little video camera.....THIS IS IT!!!!!! The software that is included with it is AWESOME also. It lets you edit and transfer the videos OR still images. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this camera. If you are looking for a camera that shoots DVD quality....THIS IS NOT THE ONE FOR YOU!!!!! So spend the money to get one. For the price, and what this little camera does (VHS quality) it is well worth it! Remember, MPEG4 is the NEW format file. Lets say you shoot a 6 min. video....It will save at MP4 @ 20 mb. Compared to the 800mb at the old AVI file. It compresses it very well and the video looks great!
Cudos to Pretec!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also there is a new camera coming out from PRETEC that does shoot at DVD quality.
