Sony Unveils World's Smallest HD Camcorder HDR-TG1

Don�t be deceived by Sony�s newest camcorder�s small size; this little fella packs a punch. Standing just 4.7? tall and measuring 2.5? deep, Sony�s HDR-TG1 shoots full blown HD video (1920�1080).

Unfortunately, Sony in their blundering proprietary ways has only included a Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo or PRO Duo Mark2 memory card input - included is a 4GB PRO Duo Mark2 (available in sizes up to 16GB) card for out of the box shooting. Other features include face detection (as we�ve seen in Digital Cameras), a fold out 2.7? touch screen LCD and 5.1 Dolby Digital audio encoding.

Expect the Sony HDR-TG1 HD camcorder to ship May 2008 for a reasonable $900.
