Sony HDR-UX20 Camcorder

Sony has released recently a new camcorder, with 1080p HD recording capabilities, called the HDR-UX20. The new encoding system optimizes the balance between image definition and file size: it uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video codec so that it can be compatible with third party editing software like the Canopus Software products. The camcorder comes with Carl Zeiss Sonnar lens – with Sony we wouldn’t expect otherwise, support for 8cm dual layer DVD recording, a media card and 8GB of memory. The price ranges around $1000.

DJs will be very glad about this news-article: one of the latest gadgets Sennheiser has come up with is the wireless headphones in the image above.

The audio unit is made up of two parts – the headphones (that run with batteries) and the transmitter unit (which can also charge the batteries for the headphones) – it is a supra-aural cordless RF headphone system with a range of up to 100 metres.

32Gb Flash Drive

 

The Flash Voyager and Flash Survivor USB drive collection from Corsair has been upgraded to 32GB storage capacity each. The Voyager is fitted with rubber on the outside to prevent damage from accidental drops or shocks, and that is really good if you have extremely important data on it, like a bootable OS. And since the size allows it, you can even copy your favourite movies and all the videos you love to take them away with you in your travels, and you can even store a portable video player on it so you can enjoy a very good multimedia experience. The drives are durable, drop-tested and water-proof. Hoever, the prices are a bit restrictive – $230 for the Voyager and $250 for Survivor (because it comes with an USB extender cable, and dog tags).
