Sony DCR-SR90E Hard Disk Drive Camcorder
Sony's European arm unveiled a new HDD-based camcorder, the DCR-SR90E. With a 30-gig hard drive, 3-megapixel CCD and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound. The DCR-SR90E comes with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens, and supports up to 10x optical zoom and 120x digital zoom.
