While Sony already has some High Definition camcorders for sale, there is always room for improvement and this is exactly what Sony did by unveiling the HDR-SR8 and the SR5C models. The former comes with a 3.2 megapixel video sensor and a 10x optical zoom alongside optical image stabilization while the latter features upgraded storage (100GB from 40GB) and embraces the AVCHD (H.264) format, letting you store up to 3 days' worth of 1080i HD video on the go. Both the HDR-SR8 and SR5C will be released this July 9th at $1,600 and $1,300 respectively. Have you jumped onto the HD bandwagon yet when recording your favorite memories? What is your rationale behind that decision?
