Sony TG3E

In this video watch Rich Trenholm, our camera wiz kid, talk about the Sony TG3E, a super-compact solid-state HD camcorder. While often compared to budget camcorders because of its friendly price, the TG3E is in a different league. It offers a sharp LCD screen and 10x zoom, as well as a superb image stabilisation system. Unlike budget models that are cheap and plasticky, the Sony has a solid build that's meant to last. It is also incredibly user friendly, and yields amazing HD footage. Since it shares features with both low-budget and high-budget camcorders, we can only describe it as the best of both worlds.
