Sony PDW-F350L XDCAM HD CameraSony is not called a leader in camcorders for nothing. I mean look at what they released - the new HD optical camcorders that includes the Sony PDW-F350L. Targeted at broadcasters and professionals, it featurse slow shutter and interval recording.

The Sony PDW-F350L can also over-crank and under-crank for slow or fast motion capture which means a variable frame rate of anywhere between 4 to 60 frames-per-second. This XDCAM HD camera comes in a stunning design , allowing for variable bit rates for recording 1080i at 18/25/35 Mbps.

Recording will be encoded to MPEG-2 Long GOP format. A 16:9 viewfinder is provided, with lens available separately. The Professional Disk offers a capacity of 23 gibabytes. Autofocus is possible, as usual, and is pretty heavy at 3.85 kg.

Costs a whopping US $25,800. But then again, I'm not your average TV channel, so I won't be buying this. More info from Sony. This one'll hit the markets in April this year.
