CAMCORDERINFO.COM EXCLUSIVE
Camcorderinfo.com is LIVE at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and we have the first pictures of the Sony camcorders that will be announced at the CES. We we're checking out the expo area, and just happened to wander upon a banner advertising either all or just some of the new camcorders that Sony is going to announce here at CES, in a few hours. Below are the pictures with observations that we think we can derive from the pictures - however they are just our analysis of the pictures and could be totally wrong.
This is a picture of the entire banner hanging from the second floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center
This is the first camcorder on the banner, my guess is that it is the Sony DCR-TRV250. We are pretty sure, based on an internal Sony document leaked earlier, that Sony is announcing two Digital camcorders at CES. I believe that this is the DCR-TRV250
This is the third camcorder in the banner. My guess is that it is the Sony DCR-TRV350 (Review, Specs, $360.8), which we also heard about from the leaked Sony document.
This is the camcorder that is somewhat of a surprise. I don't think it's MiniDV. If you'll notice, the side which is hidden looks round. Typically this is the tape transport area. Because it is around, could it mean Sony is going to be announcing a DVD Recording camcorder? I doubt it is a Digital8 camcorder because of the distinguishing blue top.
Sony will be announcing the new camcorders later today, so this is just a sneak peak at what will be coming out. They may even have more camcorders that they are announcing, other than the ones shown on the banner.
