CamcorderInfo.com is reporting that a manual for the European version of the HDR-HC3 camcorder has been leaked on the Internet which appears to be a follow-up to the popular HCR-HC1 Hi Definition DV camera. The report also quotes a source close to Sony saying such a camera exists and is expected to be announced in the next few months.
Based on the leaked-manual the camera's tech specs are as follows: Carl Zeiss-Sonnar T lens, 30mm filter diameter, 10x optical zoom, 5.1-51mm focal length, and a 2.7-inch LCD. The camera is also capable of producing still shots of up to 4 megapixels.
