Still Features
The VDR-D300 captures stills on DVD disc or an SD card at 3.1MP, 1MP, and 0.3MP in 4:3 mode and 2MP in 16:9 aspect ratio. The D250, by comparison, has a maximum still resolution of 2.3 megapixels. The VDR-D300 has a built-in flash, which is something that the D300 lacks. Both camcorders have the same manual control options available in their respective still and video modes. While the still pixel resolutions offered by the VDR-D series are impressive, Sony’s high-end DVD camcorder, the DCR-DVD505, with its 2MP CMOS chip, is able to capture stills up to 4.0 MP.
