Sony reconfigures the DVD camcorder
January 6, 2005; 2:26 p.m.
 
The product: One of the drawbacks of many DVD camcorders is their size; an 8-centimeter DVD disc necessarily imposes a limit on how compact the design can get. Sony's approach: shave around the edges. As a result, its DVD camcorder redesign looks remarkably like a CD Walkman.
The prospects: It's funky-looking, but does it have a usable design? That is the question. The innards are fairly low end, so we don't hold out much hope for the video quality. By Lori Grunin, senior editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
