The new HD has greater optical and digital zoom resulting in crisp images even at its 128X zoom. The clarity of the image is improved by the use a wider focal range making the P30HD hands down a leader in image quality and capability.

The usb port allows you to save what is being recorded on the spot to a flash drive saving time and hassle.

These items will augment the effectiveness of the unit and impress your audience. The new P30HD is truly for those who are looking for the best camera money can buy without breaking the bank.
