Sony Unveils First GPS-Enabled Camcorders, $599 Full HD Model

Sony’s legion of 15 new camcorders, announced today, offer so many exciting nuggets we’re not sure where to start. Highlights include the world’s first GPS-enabled camcorders, the company’s first YouTube cams, and an aggressively priced $599 full-HD model.

Geotag Your Videos

hdr-xr520vThe HDR-XR200V ($999), HDR-XR500V ($1,299), and the HDR-XR520V ($1,499, pictured at right) are the first camcorders with a built-in GPS receiver for geotagging movies. We love that they come with maps for the U.S. and Europe, and that the camcorders’ clocks automatically update when you travel across time zones.

Aside from being full HD, these models also all have hard drives (the XR200V and XR500V’s  are 120GB; the XR520V’s is 240GB). And while the former two take 8.3-megapixel stills, the XR520V takes 12-MP photos, a first for Sony.

 

Another high-def HDD model, the HDR-XR100 ($749), has full-HD resolution and an 80GB hard drive. This is the only one of the new high-def HDD models that does not have embedded GPS.

Sony’s First YouTube Cams

mhs-pm1-three-colorsJumping aboard what’s proven to be a very popular bandwagon, Sony debuted its first two YouTube-ready cameras, a category pioneered by the Pure Digital Flip and perfected by others like Kodak.

Sony’s new line, known as Webbie HD, include the the MHS-PM1 ($169) and the MHS-CM1 ($199). Both shoot in 1080p resolution, as well as 720p and VGA. They also take 5-MP stills and boast 5X optical zoom. With the exception of the Samsung SC-MX20, optical zoom is unheard of in YouTube cams, and up until now, the best could only record in 720p.

mhs-cm1-three-colorsOne drawback to the Webbie HDs is that they don’t have flip-out USB connectors; they connect to the PC via USB cables. The PM1 has a vertical shape, in the same vein as the Flip series, only with a swiveling 1.8-inch screen that powers the camcorder on and off. The CM1, meanwhile, has a horizontal shape, similar to the SC-MX20’s, with a swiveling 2.5-inch screen and built-in LED video light.

Full HD for $599

hdr-cx100In what might be a game changer, particularly in these tough economic times, Sony announced the HDR-CX100, a $599 full HD model. In addition to recording in full HD, it takes 4-MP still photos, packs features like Smile Shutter and face detection, and powers on by flipping out the LCD screen.

The CX100 is one of Sony’s Memory Stick models, which means Sony’s proprietary memory card is the camcorder’s primary recording format. It will be available in red, black, and silver.

Standard-Def HDD Models

dcr-sr87If you don’t need to record movies in high-def, and you prefer hard drives, Sony has three new standard-def HDD models: the DCR-SR47 ($399), DCR-SR67 ($449), and the DCR-SR87 ($499, pictured at right), which have 40GB, 80GB, and 120GB drives, respectively, and are all 25 percent smaller than the previous generation’s models. Although it has the smallest capacity, the SR47 is unique because it has 60X optical zoom, a first for Sony.

Standard-Def Flash Models

dcr-sx60Flash models are great because they’re so lightweight. The DCR-SX40 ($299), DCR-SX41 ($329), and the DCR-SX60 ($399, pictured at right) are particularly inexpensive because they’re standard-def. They have 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB of embedded flash memory, respectively, and will be offered in silver, red, and blue.
