From the press release it looks like the HD unit only has 8GB of flash, which seems vaguely ridiculous actually. They claim this is 3 hours worth in LP mode, which means a rate around 6Mbps or so, which means it might be vaguely XBox HD/Apple TV HD ish if the encoder inside this thing were as good as the one the studio used to encode the videos for those systems (hint: it isn't). Sounds like the video quality will be kind of soft. But presumably there are other modes in which it'll record higher quality... any idea Engadget?]]>Jan 7th 2009 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-offers-up-hdr-cx100-hd-handycam-alongside-three-lowly-sd-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-offers-up-hdr-cx100-hd-handycam-alongside-three-lowly-sd-mo/Jan 8th 2009 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-offers-up-hdr-cx100-hd-handycam-alongside-three-lowly-sd-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-offers-up-hdr-cx100-hd-handycam-alongside-three-lowly-sd-mo/Jan 8th 2009 2:47PM
