Engadget has the info on Sony’s newest portable camera. This has a built in 26mm-260mm lens (35 MM equivalent) Full XLR input for sound, 96GB of internal Memory for recording 1920×1080 in 60p, 30p or 24p or 720 60p. It Records in AVCHD and most strangely has a built in projector.

To me it sounds like a HVX200 competitor, and I have loved what footage from Sony’s has looked like of late, so I am interested in seeing what the footage from this camera looks like, especially for under $2000.

I love how this company does business. The 64 bit versions of their plug ins were free, and they keep releasing either free versions of plug ins or making some of them completely free. This is a company that not only loves it’s customers, but knows it’s whole suite is good enough that it is worth giving away stuff for free since it will make enough sales.

Handheld Hollywood has the scoop that the excellent iPad slating app MovieSlate will work with soon to be released wireless Timecode Buddy for always perfect timecode.TCBuddy-MovieSlate
Now it is not cheap, as the master is 675 pounds and the other unites are $245, but would then have perfect timecode all the way around, which means this would be an awesome smart slate. Just need a great case to keep your iPad safe on set.
