Sony HDR TG3 Camcorder

The Sony HDR TG3 camcorder can capture movies at a HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. It is very small (the worlds smallest currently) according to Sony and is capable of capturing the movie on to a Memory Stick Pro Duo card.

The Sony HDR TG3 also has face detection built in and support for 5.1 channel surround sound. This camera looks to be very impressive and due to it working in HD, the images it captures are just superb.
