New Sony Camera w/ Global Shutter

[Skywarrior]

Hello, all -

 

Walking through the local Sam's Club, saw a new DSLR camera from Sony: DSCH300. It uses a CCD sensor, vice a CMOS sensor.

 

That should mean that it uses a Global Shutter, vice a Rolling Shutter. So, it *should* be able to shoot inflight video without any propeller artifacts. Right out of the box. No filter needed. That would also give it better low-light capability.

 

Particulars:

 

- 720p video (hmmm, not 1080...)

 

- CCD Sensor

 

- $180 (ooooh!)

 

- No GPS connectivity, like the Garmin VIRB has...

 

- No included mounting hardware.

 

- Don't know what the audio input story is...

 

 

I'm gonna buy one, since the price is so reasonable. I'll report back...

Please do. I am just about to push the button to buy a set of filters for my Canon.

I wonder what its battery life is.

It'd be nice if it came with a power plug.
