Sony showed off a new shoulder-mounted HDV camcorder at both NAB and IBC this year. The camcorder doesn’t have a model name yet, but we do know it will record HDV/DVCAM/DV using three, 1/3″ ClearVID CMOS sensors. It will also be capable of 1080p recording in the HDV format and will be compatible with full-size cassettes for up to 4.7 hours of recording.

Also shown at IBC but not named was a small form factor HDV camcorder also featuring three, 1/3″ ClearVID CMOS sensors. Both camcorders will have a 1/3″ bayonet mount for accepting interchangeable lenses.
