Zexy New Sony HDR-TG1 Unboxed
Tracy and Matt have unboxed one of those hot new Sony camcorders (well, the European version, at least, which has a slightly different model number) and posted their first thoughts. This one in particular is special because it's small and records 1080i.
If you're willing to give up a pile of bells and whistles, this is an awesome camera. The common dilemmas with this type of hardware relate to size vs. quality and size vs. features. Since the size vs. quality dimension is eliminated, you need to evaluate whether the small size is worth giving up more advanced features. Of course, it all depends whether you're a budding Quentin Tarantino or just Joe Average.
If you've finally realized that you are not the next Cecil B. DeMille (and it takes a big man -- or woman -- to admit that), I tend to think that this is a very nice camera to consider picking up. The Sanyo Xacti's are nice too, but when it comes to consumer camcorders, your two best bets are usually Sony and Canon.
