Attention all globetrotters who like travelling light! There’s no need to give yourself back strain by lugging around travel essentials like your bulky camera, because weighing in at an anorexic 10 ounces Sony have created the ultimate travel essential, the HDR-TG1 HandyCam. Dubbed as ‘the smallest camcorder yet’, it can be ready in a snap to capture those amazing candid moments on camera.
Measuring at just 1.3-inches wide by 4.7-inches tall by 2.5-inches deep it is certainly living up to its expectations. This camcorder has features galore! It can record 1920 x 1080 HD video and 4 megapixel digital photos directly to Sony’s memory sticks and media cards.
This camera may be small in size but if you’re on an action packed adventure then there’s no need to wrap it in cotton wool as its durable titanium body and premium hard coating, makes it resistant to those pesky scratches.
Video wise this camera delivers, and with its 4GB memory capacity this camera is able to record hours of video pleasure. Also because it’s HD compatible, your videos can really come to life when combined with a HD television. As well as this, it comes with a 10 x Optical zoom lens and technology to reduce picture noise, perfect for those Safari adventures…that’s if you dare!
You’d think that as things get smaller and the price tag would follow suit, but this is definitely not the case for this little number in the world of Gadgets, as it will set you back £460. Price aside, if you’re looking for something for those action packed adventures and require a ‘travel light’ companion then this is definitely one to invest.
Due to be release later this year so keep your eyes peeled when it comes out!

It is great device what a screen shot function? I suppose you could just take a mini clip whenever you wanted to photo something. Would eat your footage time though. Unless you can get a really small digital camera too so carrying both round wouldn’t be too bulky
