Sony presented its new HDVF-200 viewfinder for professionals in the search of an inexpensive eye-piece with high levels of colour accuracy. The model works with most of the popular cameras and camcorders from Sony including newly released PDW-700 XDCAM HD™ camcorder, the HDC and HDW series. With a 2-inch CRT screen the operator experiences high-quality viewing in shoulder-mount applications. Its re-designed inner loupe reduces distortion in image corners, increasing viewing angles.

“This new viewfinder is an excellent alternative for professionals looking for low-cost HD attachments,” said Bob Ott, director of optical and professional products at Sony Electronics. “It was created to be extremely flexible, and for use with camera systems across our entire product line.”
