Despite the ever-present push towards “smaller,” there’s nothing small about Sony’s new “DCR-DVD301″ DVD Handycam’s screen. At first glance, it appears to be a standard DVD Handycam – same 1.4GB 8cm DVD writing, and more or less the same specifications – but when you look twice, you realize this new unit is equipped with a 3.5” LCD. Indeed, Sony has added a full inch in at least one area, which is more than anyone can ask, really.
“With great LCD screens comes great price,” my uncle once said, and apparently he was right on target: you’ll pay nearly $1,100 for this camera, presuming it gets released in America for a similar price as the Japanese market.
