- Sony has equipped the DSR-250 with 3 1/3 inch CCDs containing 380,000 pixels each.
- The DSR-250 has a dedicated, non-detachable zoom lens that has a 6mm wide angle.
- Using a steeper track pitch, the DVCAM format lays down more information onto the tape frame for frame than the DV consumer format.
- The DSR-250's professional features include striping SMPTE time-code. Set hours, minutes, seconds and frames to best identify individual tapes.
- The DSR-250 will accept both analog Composite (RCA) and S-Video for input and output. This allows the operator to use standard home-type VCRs for source material and most standard televisions to playback the video.
- Using the more expensive IC chip cassettes gives you some interesting features including saving titles to the cassette's memory.
- A DXF-801 viewfinder with 600 lines of horizontal resolution is standard with the DSR-250.
- With 200,000 pixels and great picture quality, the LCD screen allows you to compose the shots while your eye is off the eyepiece.
- As required by legal deposition videographers, the DSR-250 has a time/date stamp. This feature gives you the ability to insert (super-impose) time and date onto the lower third of the frame.
