Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam camcorder

Here are the deets on the Sony DCR-DVD505 DVD Handycam from last night's press preview -- like the DCR-SR100, the DCR-DVD505 records in 5.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround Sound with support for the ECM-HW1, an optional Bluetooth microphone allowing you to record center channel audio wirelessly from up to 100 feet away. It supports DVD-R/RW/ RW formats as well as capturing 4.0 megapixel stills to Memory Stick Duo storage. It's also got dual recording functionality so you can capture 3.0 megapixel stills concurrently while shooting video.

Is the dcr-dvd505 a high definition camera? If it isn't, does it take videos good enough for TV broadcast?
