Having built-in GPS with 1080 video resolution

If you are planning to purchase Canon’s LEGRIA HFS10 and Panasonic’s HDC-HS300 camcorder, see what Sony is offering in same class. Sony’s current consumer flagship is HDR XR520. Sony has assembled everything in its new handycam. The most unusual feature of this camcorder is it’s built-in GPS. Having a top data rate of 16 MBits/sec, it’s maximum video resolution is 1920 X 1080.

What’s simple, but really quite clever, is another GPS function that automatically adjusts the cam’s clock and the time difference when you visit another country. A final treat allows you to use the supplied software to view the maps online. It might be tech we’re already aware of, but GPS on camcorders – so often used on holidays – really does add an exciting new element.
