David Pogue of the New York Times warns us about the smallest and cheapest high definition camcorder hitting the store shelves pretty soon. Canon HV10 will sell for the list price of $1,500 and will record to a MiniDV cassette. The biggest deal? No bluriness even for the shakiest hand:
So the front of the HV10 bears a special external sensor that, when you change your aim, handles the bulk of the refocusing extremely rapidly. A standard through-the-lens focusing system does the fine tuning after that. Together, these two mechanisms nearly eliminate the awkward moment of blurry focus-hunting that mars other camcorders’ output. (Take care to avoid covering the focus sensor with your fingers as they wrap around this vertically oriented, chunky camera.)
Amazon already has the item for pre-order at $1,300.
