The Sony HDR-TG1 is a new Sony Video Camera that as you see in the image above notable for being compact, high-definition recording, and will send you, face. Its price is 900 dollars.
Competing in the same market as the famous and acclaimed Sanyo Xacti, also the factor of small camera, attractive (the Xacti much more than this one) and perfect for holiday if we do not want to bear a heavy equipment.
The Sony HDR-TG1 weighs just 300 grams and offers his compact body in a device that recorded video to 1920×1080 and took photos with a resolution of 4 megapixels. It does so well (whether it would be impossible to put everything in such a short space) in memory cards, in this case Sony Memory Stick Pro. The body of the camera is titanium and has a special coating to be resistant to scratches.
Despite its small size, the screen that takes is generous dimensions. Specifically, 2.7 inches, incorporating also an optical zoom of 10 increases signed by Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar. The processor is a BIONZ, the audio is recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 and camera sensor reaches 2 megapixels.

Sanyo Xacti CG9 Review
Posted on May 17th, 2008
Sanyo Xacti CG9
Speaking of compact Video Cameras today is almost certainly referring to its range and Sanyo Xacti. Well, without major changes, neither technical nor aesthetic, we already have a new model on the market.
The Sanyo Xacti Video Camera CG9 is a video camera for beginners who want to start in the exciting world of video recording with a model that draws attention, it is easy to operate and also what we make from one side to another without just problems.
The Sanyo Xacti CG9 takes 9.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, 40 MB internal memory, optical zoom increases of 5 and recorded the video in H.264 format. As you may have guessed is a model designed to act both as a video camera and photos, although personally I think a good camera with high-quality recording can be a better option.

Panasonic SDR-S10 Review & Test & Scam
Posted on May 17th, 2008
Panasonic SDR-S10: analysis
Our recent visit to the Mobile World Congress has been an experience notebook. We intend to publish from there, for which we needed to bring the whole team over, but the experience of other years we knew that this should be as light as possible. The immensity of the compound and the hours we passed it as required.
So we prepare a team that included the Asus EEA be connected to mobile, camera and a video camera. EEA we will talk another day, but today we give an overview of the video we use a Panasonic SDR-S10, a camera that is not the latest generation, as it was presented a year ago, but we chose for its lightness and ease of management.
This camera is based on SDHC memory cards, thus reducing their weight and makes that we can increase its capacity beyond simply carrying more cards. Allows record in 16:9 widescreen format and in 4:3, in addition to withstand various modes of compression. Its 10x optical zoom is one of the points in favour of this camera.
With 2 GB card that includes we will burn approximately 25 minutes to the highest quality and up to 50 minutes as normal. There is, therefore, a camera for recording spend many hours because its battery will give us neither for both.
In part that interested us most, which is the portability, the camera has been really well behaved. With a weight of less than 200 grams can always take over without being disturbed. It is also resistant to knocks and splashes, so it would be ideal for outings to the countryside or other places where there are threats that may suffer some mild mishap.
In his hand is a camera quite comfortable. Do not have any handle to grip, but it is not necessary because it is perfectly in the palm of his hand. In the rear we find the record button and the higher the zoom lever. If we open the screen, we found the rest of buttons to control it. One of the stick is that these buttons are difficult to handle not excel at the site.
Another negative point is that the screen can not be opened completely or at least turned to burn ourselves. Nothing serious, but if we take this into account.
Once the recording (to highlight how little time it takes between the firing and be ready to record, just a couple of seconds) we can copy this recording to your computer, either through an SD card reader or via the USB cable incorporates.
The recording is done in MPEG-2 format in MOD. Apparently Windows is common in many editing programs that support it, but iMovie on the Mac was unable to open it, so we had to pass first by MPEG Streamclip, an application to convert it into the correct format.
We can see some examples of videos recorded with this camera at the entrances of Blom or of Mobiclip. The quality of video is more than enough if we want to upload to the Internet, where the lighting is correct. If the lighting is low the result will not be too appropriate.
The Panasonic SDR-S10 can be found for about 300 euros, including a 2 GB card, and a camera is quite advisable if we want to always carry over and be able to burn at any time, without waiting for a professional quality of the result.
