Catering to both the high-definition and standard-definition segments, Sony Handycam has just announced its latest line of products for 2008 with a huge range of products for both formats. These include about 13 standard-definition and 6 HD camcorders. As always, Sony is striving to deliver the best to its consumers and its latest iteration is no different.



All the SD and HD camcorders sport Sony's unmatched technologies like Face Detection and D-Range optimizer, ClearVid CMOS sensor with Exmor and BIONZ processor, and the Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilizer. The ClearVid CMOS sensor together with Exmor technology reduces noise and increases sensitivity resulting in ultra-high-resolution images. The powerful BIONZ processor, which was already incorporated into Sony's Cybershot and Alpha digital cameras, has now made its way into camcorders enabling faster signal processing. Also, both SD and HD camcorders offer different storage solutions, giving users a choice of onboard HDD, Memory Sticks and 8cm DVD discs, or both.



The HDR-SR12E, topper of its range, is of the HDD variety with an incredible 120GB of storage and can shoot video for up to two whole days. Browsing through that much of footage is made easy with the handy Film Roll Index and Face Index. Both the HDR-SR11E and HDR-SR12E


Its ample offering of 13 SD camcorders all feature hybrid movie recording to Memory Sticks and also 40x optical zoom with Carl Zeiss lens, bringing those long-distant shots much more closer. All of these features add up to render exquisite, professional-looking homemade videos, almost matching other high-definition camcorders.



Moving on to the high-definition side, Sony's new crop of 6 HD camcorders offer video recording with a never-before-seen resolution of 1920x1080, perfect for watching them later on your HDTV. They now have 10-megapixel still image quality competing directly with top-end digital cameras out there.
