GadgetMadness: We find the coolest gadgets first

Wowza - previously only JVC had a hard drive offering in the camcorder arena, however Sony will be releasing the DCR-SR100 hard drive camcorder in May. The DCR-SR100 stores over 20 hours of LP video (7 hours in high-quality mode) and features 3.3 megapixel HAD CCD and Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lenses which translates to a "real purty picture." Nightshot mode lets you capture video in total darkness (sweet) and the built in microphone captures audio in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. The only drawback I can see is that this camcorder doesn't do high definition. More info on the product page.
