Not only does Sony have four HD-capable consumer cameras gearing up for release this year, but the new lineup spans both AVCHD and HDV formats. On the HDV side, the HDR-HC5 and the HDR-HC7 are 1080i-capable, with the HC5 making use of a 1/3" ClearVID CMOS sensor (2MP gross pixels), and the HC7 kicking it up further with a 1/2.9" ClearVID CMOS chip (3.2 MP gross pixels). The latest entries in the AVCHD realm, the HDR-UX5 and HDR-UX7 feature HD recording on DVD format. Full specs are not yet available for either cam, but check out this for some information on the new Sony lineup. Sony is definitely making a push towards HD on all fronts.(via Engadget)
1. The low light footage seems not that good( example at http://www.listvideo.com) . However well lit scenes are awesome.
