Today, well yesterday, Sony released a new high definition camcorder to their arsenal of HDV camcorders called the HVR-V1U. It features true progressive sensors, which means it can film in 24p/30p/60p. Chances are, the australian version will be 25p and 50p. Along with this launch is the new optional hard disk recording unit that sits on the hot shoe of the camera, by the looks of the pic above, kinda looks out of place, but hey, it’s not a beauty contest… or is it?

The very newest LCD’s are starting to come out supporting “true HD” or a full 1080 resolution. It won’t be too long before we see the current “HD ready” televisions drop in price dramtically.
