SHINY PREVIEW: Sony Handycam CX520VE
I’m going to break this to you straight away. The Sony Handycam CX520 starts at around £1000. That’s for the 32GB SSD model. If you want the 64GB version, you’d better be prepared to part with another £200 or so.
When I saw this thing on paper, I couldn’t quite see what all the fuss was about but as soon as I got the thing in my hand it was obvious I was playing with a top quality HD camcorder.
What impressed me most about this machine is that the 3-way image stabilisation actually works staggeringly well. You can shake the thing pretty vigorously and the picture barely wobbles. The quality of the optics also sound pretty spectacular and it’s got all the touches you’d want like GPS and touchscreen too. A little surprised that it only records interlaced images before upgrading them though.
One wonders how much more you’d have to pay for professional video cameras, if any at all, but ignore that thought and you’ll be really pleased with this one. Looking forward to a full review.
SHINY PREVIEW: Emtec GBox nettop PC
I very nearly walked out of a two hour press briefing from Emtec this afternoon. Sorry Emtec, I nearly did. You’re good people but it was too long for a man in shorts and flip flops when the air-con’s jacked up to Siberia.
Thankfully, those that stuck around were rewarded for their patience with unveiling of a nettop PC to hit the market some time in the distant future. It’s a very similar proposition to the likes of the Acer Revo and the Asus eBox but it’s going to be around £20 cheaper and quite considerably thinner. Take a look…
