Very excited about being able to do Sony HD underwater video with the new consumer Sony HDR-XR550V – What I like is that with YouTube as the platform for video and Sony HDR-XR550V as the camera we use for video it will be easy to see and judge the picture quality.
This is what Sony says about this camera.
With a massive 240GB internal hard disk drive, the HDR-XR550V also records 1920 x 1080 high-definition video and 12-megapixel still images. Superior low-light shooting performance via the “Exmor R” CMOS sensor, while Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with Active Mode and 3-way Shake Canceling. 1/2.88″ back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS sensorA 1/2.88″ “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor delivers bright, vivid, spectacularly detailed video footage, as well as 12 Megapixel still images. With 6 Megapixel (effective) video resolution, the image sensor actually captures video at four times the density of high definition resolution resulting in a sharper and more detailed 1920 x 1080 HD picture.
