Vacation Video Memories Without
Backaches: It wasn't that long ago when you had to hoist a camcorder
onto your shoulder to shoot. Now Sony has digital videocams that fit
in the palm of your hand and weigh only 12 ounces. The company's new
MicroMV Handycams, the DCR-IP5 and the DCR-IP7BT, provide 500 lines of
horizontal resolution, CD-quality sound, and a DVD-like thumbnail
picture accessing feature. They use Sony MicroMV cassettes, which are
70 percent smaller than MiniDV tapes. This allows the camcorders to
measure 1 7/8 by 4 by 3 1/8 inches. Each cassette is supposed to
supply up to 60 minutes of high-quality digital video. The lack of
heft comes at a premium, though: The IP5 costs $1299 and the IP7BT,
$1699
