It’s only thumbs up for this: Sony introduces the Sony HDR-TG5V Handycam, by far the smallest Full HD camcorder, the successor of the HDR-TG1 (aka TG3E).
Sony HDR-TG5V can capture 1920×1080p Full HD video and 4 Megapixel photos. It has a Carl Zeiss Vaio-Tessar lens with 10X optical zoom and a 2.7-inch touchscreen display.

Record brilliant, 1920 x 1080 high definition video on the go with the ultra-portable Sony HDR-TG5V Handycam camcorder. With a strong and lightweight pure titanium body and a built-in GPS receiver that maps where you shot your videos and photos and can display your current location, the Sony HDR-TG5V makes an ideal travel companion.

An optional travel kit (Sony ACC-TCH5) with a battery, travel charger and pouch; and a wide angle conversion lens (Sony VCL-HGE07TB) accessory will also be available, both priced at $100.
