[CES 2008] Sony HDR-SR12, HDR-SR11, HDR-SR10, HDR-UX20, and HDR-UX10 HD Camcorders with Face Detection

Sony is further expanding the industry with the introduction of six new HD models.

The HDR-SR12, HDR-SR11 and HDR-SR10 hard drive camcorders, along with the HDR-UX20 and HDR-UX10 DVD models, are all based on AVCHD™ technology and feature full 1920 x 1080 high-definition recording for outstanding clarity and detail.

They deliver the highest HD resolution available without sacrificing recording times. All of them feature a new high-profile encoding system to optimize encoding efficiency. And, because they are based on the industry-standard MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video codec, they are entering the market compatible with many third-party editing suites.

These AVCHD camcorders incorporate face detection technology for both video and photos. The technology can identify up to eight faces in the camcorder’s LCD frame, and automatically adjusts focus, exposure, color control for natural-looking skin tones, and when photos are taken, flash control.

Other technologies include ClearVid™ CMOS sensors with Exmor™-derived technology. This technology utilizes column analog/digital conversion on the sensor itself to minimize picture noise.

The SR12 and SR11 camcorders mark the introduction of Sony’s 5.7-megapixel ClearVid™ CMOS sensors with 10.2-megapixel photo capture. In dual rec mode for simultaneous video and photo capture, these 10-mega models can take 7.6-megapixel photos up to the capacity of the media card in contrast to five, 3-megapixel photos on the other models with 2.4-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensors.

These two units can also pull 2.1-megapixel photos from video footage while in playback mode, and 3-megapixel photos from footage using the bundled Picture Motion Browser software on a compatible PC.

The 120GB SR12, 60GB SR11, and 40GB SR10 camcorders provide extremely long continuous recording times (1920 mode) of nearly 15, seven and five hours, respectively.

The SR12, SR11, SR10, UX20 and UX10 models will all ship in March for about $1,400, $1,200, $1,000, $1,000 and $800, respectively. The HDR-HC9 camcorder will ship in February for about $1,100.
