Seriously though, you have a point. Cameras this small have serious blur issues (my digital ELPH is a perfect example) and without stabilization of some sort I can't imagine getting anything better than youtube-quality shakycam out of this thing. Handheld, anyway.

Also a sensor that small with almost 2 Mpxl crammed in likely has crappy sensitivity; couple this with the inherent instability of such a small body and you get a failure. This is only really useful as a 'world's first/best/biggest/smallest' bragging rights device. ]]>Apr 3rd 2008 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/
When did I miss another useless Sony format.

For pete's sake, Sony, give it up...embrace SDHC, you know you want to!]]>Apr 3rd 2008 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD

Beside, SD with its three sizes and a complete wilderness of what supports sdhc and what does not. Bought my first 8gb sdhc card now and of my four devices that supports sd micro this is the only one that supports sdhc. ]]>Apr 3rd 2008 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/
Hence the question marks. And if you get technical, that could be considered another format by some.

Yes, as of late, SD has become a little more confusing with the addition of two sizes and SDHC. But at least the smaller sizes are required to include a full-size SD adapter (and they often include a MiniSD one as well) And the naming scheme generally makes sense. Mini is smaller than regular, and Micro is smaller than mini. SDHC stands for SD High Capacity. The only real question is if a device supports it, which is the fault of the device manufacturer for not making it clear.

But it's still no comparison to MemoryStick. You have the MemoryStick, MemoryStick Select, MemoryStick Pro, MemoryStick Pro Duo, MemoryStick Duo, MemoryStick PRO-HG, MemoryStick Micro/M2, and now this Mark2 crap (which might be the same as PRO-HG??). Now try to tell me SD is more confusing.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/Apr 3rd 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/May 17th 2008 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/sonys-900-hdr-tg1-worlds-smallest-1080p-camcorder/

Here's my question, does it do any progressive at lower resolution? it does mention one lower resolution but that's also interlaced.

Yeah, the pickup pattern on the audio is wacky beyond belief. But price/performance ratio of the Aiptek beats nearly anything out there.
