Sony HDR-CX12 offers affordable below-$1000 AVCHD+MPEG-2
If anything AVCHD above $1000 could lead to a divorce, Sony comes to the rescue with the HDR-CX12. It will cost about $900 and offers 1920×1080i resolution in AVCHD format. Like in the case of the new JVC Everio GZ-HD30/40, you may also choose the 1440×1080i HDV option!
There is a new CMOS sensor -same as on the A700 DSLR- BIONZ processing and only flash storage in the form of Sony’s usual Memory Sticks. Features for more casual users are smile shutter action and face detection. Size is very small, no as extreme as that of the Sony HDR-TG1, but convenient for anytime, anywhere…
