The Panasonic HDC-TM900, HDC-HS900 and HDC-SD800 are new 3MOS Full HD camcorders introduced at CES 2011. The HDC-TM900, HDC-HS900 and HDC-SD800 set themselves part from the 2011 Panasonic 1MOS Full HD camcorders by making use of three 1/4.1″ image sensors, which split the captured light into the red, green and blue colors – with each being processed by its own sensor.
Each camera captures 1920 x 1080 resolution video at 60p, along with a digital cinema mode for 24p capture. All three new models are compatible with Panasonic’s 3D conversion lens for 3D video capture in-camera. Additionally, the HS900 and TM900 models offer a manual control ring, which allows multiple manual control functions, including focusing, zoom, white balance, shutter speed and iris.
All camcorders feature SDXC memory card storage. The TM900 adds 32GB internal flash memory, while the HS900 offers a 220GB hard drive.

Samsung unveiled their new line of LED TVs at CES 2011. In all there are more than 40 new televisions ranging from 19 inches to 65 inches and Samsung preview a monster 75 inch LED TV. The new lineup brings of course HD and not only 2D, but several are 3D capable and from what I was earlier on Wednesday, I have to say that I am impressed. Something I can’t say about some of Samsung’s earlier sets.
Streaming content is on the rise and in fact will be among the biggest trends this year and Samsung is on the bandwagon. Many of the new TV’s are web connected with integrated apps.
The first thing that jumped at me was the ultra-thin bezel. Samsung says they were able to make a 80% reduction in the bezel mass to make the edging nearly invisible.
