1970-

1975-The first commercially available video cassette recorder was the Sony betamax introduced in 1975

The first TV monitor in the "PROFEEL" series. This is the model that established the rather radical idea of a modular CRT set, separate from the TV tuner, speakers, and other components. The design emphasizes function over form, to the extent all ornamentation seems eliminated, and gives an impression of appealing simplicity.

1980-

The first camcorder for recording on standard 8 mm videotape. Equipped with a newly developed 250,000-pixel CCD as an imaging device, as well as motorized 6x zoom. The developers also succeeded in reducing the weight to a mere 1.97 kg.

1885-

At a time when the market was flooded with big portable stereos in rounded shapes, here was an invitation to enjoy an appealingly compact, square model perfect for a desk. The designers set their sights on discerning users for this upscale model, nicknamed "PRESH," and it proved a market leader. Functions are kept minimal, but the unit is designed for maximum convenience and fidelity

1990-

The first DV camcorder, with a 3CCD system for exceptional image quality. A premium and unprecedented DV-ready model, this camcorder boasted industry-leading performance and features at launch. The unit's optics and mic are arranged on a central axis, inspiring a bold appearance that is elongated and symmetrical.

1995-

A sleek, compact Cyber-shot, with hardly any protrusions or indentations on the body. The P in the model name of this easy-to-hold digital camera hints at play, pleasure, and pocket. It is a format only possible in a digital camera, a unique, elongated body design chosen as the desired form, given the required internal structure. Here, the developers sought a camera as easy as a mobile phone to take along, and ready in an instant for casual shots

2000-

A slim 1080i HD Handycam with appealingly simple lines. The HDR-HC1 brought high definition out of professional applications and into the hands of consumers, in a camera more compact than ever at launch. Ease of use is the key to its design, evident in a touch-panel LCD monitor and conveniently arranged manual control buttons. This shape won't fatigue users even after extended filming, which makes the unit feel reassuringly steady during shooting.
