The AVCHD-based Handycam TG1 is less than five inches tall, 2.5 inches deep, and weighs 10 ounces but is still capable of capturing a 1920x1080 picture. This makes it the smallest HD-capable camera yet, Sony says. While much of this size reduction comes from re... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/03/sony.handycam.tg1/ Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:15:00 GMT Sony upgrades HD, standard-def Handycams http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/08/sony.camcorders.ces.2008/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0801/sonysr12.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />As part of its efforts at CES, Sony has revamped nearly all of its Handycam models for the new year. The HD models now all receive face detection that auto-focuses on as many as eight human faces in a given scene and adjusts color balance to properly capture the subjects. For these HD cameras, more time is spent on encoding video for these pixels than the rest of the scene, Sony says.

Called VIXIA, the premium range is entirely HD-capable and relies largely on tapeless storage. The HF10 serves as the flagship by using 16GB of internal flash memory and offering an SDHC slot that can accept as much or more storage in removable form. This allows... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/07/canon.vixia.camcorders/ Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:25:00 GMT
