CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW: CNET editors cover the Next Big Thing
![]()
Sony launches stylish,
ultracompact MiniDV model January 6, 2005; 5:44 p.m.
![]() The product: On the inside, the PC55 is nothing special: it's a basic 680,000-pixel MiniDV camcorder with a 10X optical zoom. On the outside, however, it features a slim, stylish design in a choice of silver, red, black, or white, with a 3-inch swivel display that serves as a digital frame when the unit is perched in its dock. And despite its diminutive size, the PC55 still provides an accessory shoe and a Memory Stick Duo slot. The price: Available in February for about $800. The prospects: This model looks like the final nail in MicroMV's coffin. As long as the video quality doesn't suck, this is likely to be a must-have gadget for well-heeled technorati.
