A little bigger than your mobile phone, Sony's sensationally styled Handycam HDR-TG3E is the world's smallest, slimmest, lightest Full HD camcorder. Slipping effortlessly into a purse, bag or jacket pocket, it's great for parties, holidays or city breaks when you don't want to be weighed down. Inside its slender body, the TG3E is packed with advanced Sony technology for capturing beautiful, detail-packed HD1080 images. There's a premium Carl Zeiss lens with 10x optical zoom, plus Super SteadyShot to reduce image shake. Powered by the BIONZ image processor, Face Detection automatically adjusts focus, exposure and color balance for both video and photos. And if you're shooting high-contrast subjects, like a sunny beach scene, D-Range Optimizer technology ensures that strong highlights and shadow details don't get lost. The HDR-TG3E is tough enough to keep up with today's active lifestyles, whether you're on the piste or paragliding. It's the world's first camcorder that features a body using pure titanium - a material that is 40% lighter than steel and twice as strong as aluminum. The tough titanium shell is finished with a Premium Hard Coating. This extra-strong protective layer shrugs off everyday scratches, ensuring your camcorder keeps its high-fashion looks for longer. Its tough finish, ultra-compact size and chic looks are only half the story. The HDR-TG3E lets you concentrate on having fun instead of fiddling with complicated features. In 'Quick On' mode, you're ready to start shooting within a second of flipping open the bright, clear 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus touchscreen. And when you're relaxing back at home, it's easy to control playback functions with your Sony television's remote as you enjoy big, beautiful images and great sound on your BRAVIA Sync compatible TV.

Representing my first foray into video camera territory, I read many reviews and hints before taking the plunge and buying this camcorder. Must haves based on my intended use; image stabilisation, face recognition, sharp image indoors, and most of all total portability. I wanted to be able to take a still while shooting video, and some future padding with HD. Finally looks. The casing is sexy and feels reassuringly weighty yet small and easy to handle. Supplied with almost all of the expected cords; USB 2.0 for computer transfer and AV & component AV cables for TV connection. No HDMI cord and the output on the camera won't fit existing cords thus ... Read the complete review

Purchased after my old JVC camera gave up the will to live during our honeymoon. We were gutted, but made do with plenty of photos instead! By using the upright layout, Sony have made this camera small and light enough to slip into a trouser pocket. Truly portable. Picture quality is wonderful, with a variety of recording modes available to either capture highest quality or maximise the recording time available. Face detection chooses focus well, even indoors.
