Moving on, we find the HDR-HC9, packing a 3.2-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor. Simultaneous dual-record mode gives you movie and 4.6-megapixel stills, or more John Woo-style 240fps slo-mo with audio. This hi-def model empoys multi-mode down conversion to 1080i and lower.
The HC9 will be one of the first to arrive, hitting shops in February for about $1,100 (£550).
