pyke 0 #1 June 4, 2004 Just got a B&H catalogue in the mail last night and was flipping through it for kicks... Don't know if anyone has seen this yet (I looked for a link, but couldn't find one), but it appears that Sony has come out with a dual camcorder. It has two lenses (mounted vertically - so it's still compact - no bigger than a TRV style). The video looks like it's about the same as a low-end TRV camera (didn't see steady shot listed, or some other key features), but the still had capabilities of 30 f/p/s and had higher than normal megapixel quality for most video still captures (like 4.4 megapix). I'm not saying this is to be the next BIG thing, but it *may* address the need for two cameras one, or two, iterations of this model later on. Just have to allow for a bite switch for the still and up some of the options for the video. Anyway, thought I'd share. Also, in that same catalogue, there is an ad for AVID software that shows a tandem and some RW shots as demo pics. NOICE!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr.

blazetailman 0 #2 June 4, 2004 Go easy on the excitement. I think, the camera you are talking about is is a Samsung not a Sony. I wonder if you are able to take pictures while recording video?? I doubt it but if some one sees it at a store go play with one and see. Looks good. But its not a Sony(might work fine)but new cables and batteries always such. (Mute point if you are buying the for the first time.) Sony PC330 has 3mp. Not quite 4mp. But its a dual camera.www.canopyflightcenter.com www.skydivesac.com www.guanofreefly.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pyke 0 #6 June 7, 2004 Sorry - Yup - it was, in fact, a Samsung video. Must have gone one page past the Sony's and not realized it. Still, if Sony jumped on that idea and provided enough features for both - could make two cameras obsolete! Anyway - just posted for your benefit.
