On July 10, 2009 Sony announced two new GPS camcorders, Sony Handycam
HDR-CX520V and Sony HDR-CX500V. This two new handycams would replace the Sony Handycam HDR-CX12 . The former comes with 64GB storage capacity and the later 32 GB. Sony HDR-CX520V and Sony HDR-CX500V are flash drive based camcorders with integrated GPS services. Early this year, Sony also launched three HD camcorders with integrated GPS services. The Washington Post reports:
Sony says both cameras will record 1920-by-1080-resolution full HD video, and both models will be able to convert in-camera AVCHD footage to super-smooth 60p video for outputting to an HDTV via HDMI cable. The new camcorders will also be able to down-convert AVCHD video to MPEG-2 video, which means they'll work better for DVD burning than most AVCHD camcorders.
The cameras are fitted with Sony G Lens and an optical image stabilization system. In addition, they have the Exmor-R CMOS sensor that captures better image. Other features include 12X zoom, 3" diagonal touchscreen LCD and 5.1 surround-sound microphones.
Users can also geotag and embed videos on a map interface. Then there is the “Face Touch Mode” and “Smile Shutter mode.” The “Face Touch Mode” allows the user to select a single face on the camcorder’s LCD screen and “Smile Shutter mode” allows user to capture 12 mp image while the subject is smiling. In the “Smile Shutter mode” the camera can capture still photos.
The two cameras will be available in September. The HDR-CX520V would cost $1300 and the HDR-CX500V $1100.
