Sony Teases A Rugged Video Camera
CE Week 2012 has begun and Sony has just announced that they are developing a wearable rugged video camera. This does seem like a “GoPro” competitor, and I am happy to see that more companies are entreating this field. It will feature Sony’s famous stabilization technology know as SteadyShot. The camera’s light weight body will house Exmor R CMOS image sensor and a wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens. Both of these special features will improve image quality by a huge amount. They will also be selling many accessories, such as a waterproof/ruggedized housing, and a many mounting attachments. And keep in mind that the camera will capture full quality HD video. Sony is currently planning to bring this new camera to the market in Fall of 2012.
