Hamburg, 27.05.2011 -- Thanks to brilliant, full HD picture quality, extensive features, and interesting functions, movie making is guaranteed to be your new hobby! Rollei launches two new camcorders onto the market. In each case a 3-inch colour TFT LCD display (7.62 cm) in 4:3 format, 5 million pixels and 30 frames per second ensure a sharp visual impression. Practical: two slots for memory cards (SD and Micro SD) so that you can continue filming when one card is full.

Movieline SD 40
Smaller, lighter, more compact: this full high definition camcorder stands out thanks to its compact design and its lightness, which means it can be easily operated with one hand. (Weight: 186 grams, dimensions:110x68x37 mm).

A rotatable 3-inch touchscreen panel in 4:3 format makes it especially convenient to use. Two card slots for SD and micro SD cards with a capacity of up to 32 gigabytes offer the opportunity to continue recording onto the other card when one card is full. The video film stabiliser ensures that any unwanted movements are compensated for while shooting. The rechargeable lithium ion battery makes it possible to shoot videos up to 60 minutes in length.
