(...)SMOOTH SLOW RECORD :Other benefits from the CMOS technology include the smooth slow record function that allows you to view scenes in slow motion. Three seconds of video are played back in 12 seconds - ideal for analyzing your golf swing or tennis back-hand. (...)

et ici, on dit clairement que le HC3 sera pourvu de ce dispositif :

"An update:
- External battery, NP-FP60 (standard). NP-FP71 or FP90 recommended.
- it DOES have a viewfinder. It's weird - you can actually unscrew it, pullt the viewfinder out to clean dust out.
- definitely 1080i, 25Mbps.
- toploading tape compartment.
- Nightshot
- 5lux minimum illumination (f1.8). this is BETTER than HC1's rated of 7lux.
- camera can downconvert recorded HDV to DV like HC1.
- memory stick duo plugs into camera straight in middle of the plastic section that the LCD screen normally covers.
- Has an 'EASY' mode. this mode used on other Sony lower-end cams (like HC40). indicative of target audience.
- Automatic lens cover !!! It is POWERED and opens when the camera is in TAPE or MEMORY mode. how cool.
- minimum focus, 1cm at wideangle, 80cm at telephoto.
- it's got a flash.
- can also record in DV mode.
- Has WB SHIFT (like HC1 and A1)
- has HDMI socket as well as ILINK. (Sony obviously thinking of their HDTV sales..)
- Spot meter and Spot Focus modes are there
- It's got a histogram mode !
- Tele-macro mode is there.
- usual Sony selection of PROGRAM AE modes
- Zebra patterning mode.
- Usual White Balance
-
new mode : SMOOTH SLOW RECORD. It records a 3 second clip as a 12 second slow-motion clip. Intended for stuff like golf swings, people playing fast sports.
- Got a Quick-start mode for HDV1080i. it "slightly reduces" start time to REC.
- Aha ! this is new. It's got an external rotary dial at the front of the cam, on the left side (where the 3-way slider is on HC1). This external dial can be used to change some settings WITHOUT going thru the LCD menus.
You chan change Focus, Exposure, AE SHIFT and WB SHIFT with this external dial. It's called the CAM CTRL dial.
- OK it's got a direct Burn-to-DVD feature (as seen on other Sony cams). If you shot HDV it automatically downconverts to DV before writing to DVD.
- 1/3in. CMOS chip, 2,103,000pixels. 16:9 movie uses 1,434,000pixels.
- the usual Carl-Zeiss Sonnar t* lens. 10x optical.
- Focal lenght (movie mode) = 41mm at wideangle, 485mm at telephoto. (35mm equivs.)
- 30mm filter thread on the lens. pretty small !
- Confirmed LCD screen resolution of 211,200pixels (16x9). This is MUCH better LCD screen than HC1. almost double the resolution on LCD.
Rien d'officiel, tout de meme
Wait and see ?
