Sony has outed a couple of new camcorders at IFA 2010 namely the Handycam DCR-SX15E and DCR-SR15E. Both camcorders feature a high-power 50x optical zoom lens, a flip-out 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD screen, SteadyShot, Face Detection and a video light to record videos in a low light environment. The SteadyShot image stabilization keeps things crisp and clear, reducing the effects of camera shake when you’re shooting handheld. The Sony Handycam DCR-SX15E requires a memory stick or an SD card to save data, while the Sony Handycam DCR-SR15E can store up to 61-hour of Standard Definition video on its built-in 80GB hard disk drive. Both the Handycam DCR-SX15E and the Handycam DCR-SR15E will be available from October 2010. No word on pricing at this time.
