The GV-HD700E, Sony's first foray into on-the-move HD video editing is coming out in Europe this Fall. Chockablock with pro features, it boasts a seven-inch widescreen LCD and has just three buttons for 14 functions (which include search, index mark and playback zoom). On top of that, the GV-HD700E can play back HDV as well as short-play and long-play miniDV tapes. You might want to see some more stats while you're here.
