Sony HDR-CX105: Hands-on accidentally stalking a tech celebrity Image 1
Camcorders

It wasnt just cameras at the Focus on Imaging show this week: Sony also showed off its camcorder line-up. The model that caught our eye was the Sony HDR-CX105, a slender flash model. We know the face detection works, because it helped us spot a certain tech celebrity...

The CX105 shoots 1,920x1,080i high-definition video, recorded in the AVCHD format. The 8GB onboard memory holds 3 hours of HD, with extra storage offered on Memory Stick.

With its 4-megapixel CMOS sensor and 10x optical zoom, the CX105 can capture stills even when video is filming. Sony offers perhaps the only interesting twist on smile detection, with the option to snap a photo when a smile is spotted even when shooting video.

Click through our photos for more, including a glimpse at how the face detection brought our attention to an old friend of the CNET UK Podcast.
