Sony DCR-SR200, VCL-R2037 S Tele Lens X 2.0, and The Moon

Back

Testing my Sony DCR-SR200 camcorder equipped with the Sony VCL-R2037 S Tele Conversion X 2.0 Lens. Some notes... See the man on the moon! All footage was well into the digital zoom realm of the camera. Maximum telephoto zoom was reached in this demo: X 160. One of the trickiest parts was finding out how fast the moon actually moves at this range; needed to reposition the tripod settings every few moments. With regards to the lens, when attached to the camera, a tripod is a near must. I believe it somehow messes up or even disables the Sony SteadyShot picture stabilization function. Editing involved slightly lessening of brightness. Oooh! Aaah! Look at those craters on the moon! ^_^ Summary about the camera: it's no Hubble space telescope but it's fine for the usual non-professional Earth videos. The lens gives a fine boost in zoom effectively doubling the 10x optical 80x digital but like I mentioned earlier image stabilization is an issue - need a tripod to make full use of it.
