Sony launch micro MPEG-2 camcorder
|
IFA
2001: We don't normally talk about camcorders here, but this announcement
is interesting because of the technology employed. The new tiny 'Network
Handycam IP' DCR-IP7 'MICROMV' digital camcorder records digital video
onto new MICROMV tapes (which are 30% the volume of a DV tape). The DCR-IP7
can also shoot 640 x 480 JPEG's or MPEG-1 clips onto Memory Stick, even
more interesting is that the camcorder supports Bluetooth wireless transfer
as well as USB and Firewire (IEEE 1394). This neat little camcorder can
also send email and browse the web. Oh yes, and it's 2 x 4 x 3 inches
and weighs in at 370 g (13 oz) with battery.
