Sony's 3 CCD Handycam
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 PM
"Advancing the category it created, Sony unveiled a three-CCD camcorder with an innovative, multi-angle handle and state-of-the-art optics. At less than two pounds, the super-compact DCR-HC1000 MiniDV Handycam camcorder features Sony's three-chip, one-megapixel Advanced HAD™ progressive scan CCD technology. Each CCD imager is dedicated to a primary color. They separate light passing through the lens into individual color components for noticeably sharper images and colors. By giving each lens its own megapixel imager, the camcorder captures the intense detail and color that expert videographers appreciate."
The camera will also sport high-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T optics for improved sharpness and resolution, along with higher contrast. The new DCR-HC1000 model is expected to be available next month for about $1,700. It looks so cool, I just wish it were a bit cheaper.
