Among a slew of new additions to its Handycam line of camcorders unveiled by Sonyat CES 2011 were a couple of notable standouts. The first is the HDR-TD10E, which Sony is calling the world’s first “Double Full HD” 3D consumer camcorder that effectively doubles up on a variety of key components, while the second is the HDR-PJ series, which consists of three new models which boast a built in projector.
The HDR-TD10E’s integrated dual lens system includes two of each key component – two Sony G lenses, two “Exmor R” CMOS sensors and two “BIONZ” image processors. In addition to playing Full HD 3D videos on any 3D capable HDTV, the HDR-TD10E’s dual recording system gives it the ability to playback 3D content in Full HD 2D automatically on non-3D displays, while 3D footage can be viewed without glasses on the camcorder’s 3.5-inch 3D LCD touch screen.
Other features of the TD10E include 10x optical zoom with Optical SteadyShot and iAUTO – which automatically configures the camera’s settings based on the camcorder’s surroundings – offered in 3D mode. There’s also a Tracking Focus feature that maintains focus on moving subjects, and 64 GB of flash memory.
Sony will release the HDR-TD10E in April 2011 at a price yet to be announced.
HDR-PJ series
Also worth noting amongst the new additions was the HDR-PJ series, which feature a projector built into their 3-inch LCD panels. According to Sony these camcorders can project video and images of up to 60-in (152 cm) diagonally in size at a throw distance of 20 feet (6 m). The HDR-PJ series camcorders also integrate stereo speakers with Clear Phase and S-Master digital amplifier so you can do away with that big screen TV and home theater system altogether – or not.
The HDR-PJ series consists of three models, which look to vary only in memory type and capacity – and no doubt price, when they are announced. The HDR-PJ50VE with a 220 GB HDD will be available in April 2011, while the HDR-PJ30VE with 32 GB of flash memory, and HDR-PJ10E with 16 GB of flash memory will be available in March 2011.-gizmag.com
