Sony QUALIA 005 TV

Sony QUALIA 005 TV 08/19/2004 07:12 PM

Sony today announced the "QUALIA 005," in their WEGA series of LCD TVs, which is the world's first television to use Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as a backlight. BUT WHY? According to Sony, this 46" television has the most realistic color reproduction of any set EVER. I'd certainly hope so too, considering it will set you back more than $10,000 USD.

Features on this new set don't stop there, however - Sony managed to cram in their Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer (of PS2 fame) for better image rendering, as well as their "DRC-MFv2" standard-TV-to-HDTV upscaler we reported on just last week. Another bizarro feature inserted in an attempt to justify the 10G pricetag is usage of the "XMB" (Cross Media Bar) GUI, which is currently used on the PSX. I complain about prices a lot, but who am I kidding? I'd get one if I was stinking rich, which I certainly plan to be.

Sony Qualia 007

Sony Qualia 007 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

The (extremely) high-end Qualia 007 Super Audio CD Player (first shown at CES) is a designer's wet dream come true. Place a CD pretty much any where in the loading area and three pistons raise it up in the air, centering the disc as they go. The laser is held in a fork that slides out and grabs the disc. Pretty show aside, the 007 outputs sound in digital format through its 32-bit S-Master dual-channel to two custom-built speakers made from Japanese Maple for a full, rich sound that that can fill (or overpower) a party full of drinking tech journalists. The system launches next month with a price tag of $12,500.

Previously available only with the Q017-MD1 Qualia 017 MiniDisc player, the Sony MDR-EXQ1 earbuds will become the first product in the Qualia line to be sold outside of Sony's exclusive retail stores. The $200 earplug-style phones sport a brass housing, ostensibly because it improves response and the spread of low frequencies, or it could just be that they look, as they say in Japan, "badass." Get all the ohms and milliwatts and whatnot information from this translated press release.

New York Sony Qualia Store Opens

New York Sony Qualia Store Opens 09/23/2004 11:08 AM

Sony's Qualia store finally opened today in Manhattan, the first retail outlet on our shores of Sony's high-end luxury brand. I had a chance to check out the store a few weeks ago and was, well, a little let down. It's not entirely Qualia's fault though; who decided the best place to stick a high-end retail presence was in the back basement corner of an existing Sony store?

More impressions after the jump.

You know, this whole having a social life thing is not conducive at all to cooking you kids your gadget breakfast. Fortunately for me, Panasonic and Sony have provided some low-hanging fruit this morning with the launch of several new digital cameras, including a really nice looking CyberShot [pictured] with a 7-megapixel sensor. And by "nice looking" I mean "pretty cheap," as Sony plans to launch the DSC-P150 for less than $500. I was almost going to buy a camera today, but now I may end up waiting a bit.

Panasonic's 5 new Lumix models look decent, too, with 3.4- to 5-megapixel options and 12x optical zoom on the FZ model line. LivingRoom has a round up page with most of the details, as does Photography Blog.

Sony DCR-HC40 MiniDV Camcorder Review

Sony DCR-HC40 MiniDV Camcorder Review 06/21/2004 10:31 AM

PC Mag reviews the Sony DCR-HC40 MiniDV camcorder, and despite some issues with the touch-screen controls, find the most important stuff -- image quality, battery life, and price -- to be very strong for a $700 camera. It has "intelligent accessory shoes" that can power an optional light or microphone, and it happens to have an internal lens cover, something I find highly appealing in the smaller throw-and-go camera segment. Still image cameras almost all have internal lens covers these days; I don't know why we expect anything different from camcorders.

New Sony Cybershots, HP Photosmarts,
Including Sony T3 (Rawr!) 08/30/2004 09:56 AM

Gott im Himmel, ze cameras! There have been like two dozen new cameras announced in the last few weeks as various manufacturers start ramping up for Christmas, and Sony and HP are no exception. Among the new Sonys announced today are two pocket-sized beauties that I want right now: the T3, an update to the T1 and Japan-only T11, a 5.1-megapixel camera that is Sony's thinnest at less than three-quarters of an inch; and the DSC-L1, a candy bar 4.1-megapixel unit that is only 3.75-inches long. Just when I was ready to buy a new camera Sony has to muck it all up with at least two that really do it for me. Oh, and there's also the new DSC-V3, a 7-megapixel unit that looks mighty fine, as well.

The HPs, well, they are okay, but I'll be honest, they don't get me all riled up as much as the two featherweight cameras from Sony do. If they fixed the middling image quality of the T1 in the T3, that may be my next sidearm. Living Room has a bunch of the press releases, and I'll add to this post if any more info comes through during the day.

While Sony Tries To Become Apple,
Samsung Tries To Become Sony

While Sony Tries To Become Apple,
Samsung Tries To Become Sony 05/13/2004 03:41 AM
Has anyone noticed that it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell Samsung from Sony? It appears that almost everything Sony does, Samsung does as well. So, it's really no surprise that a little over a month after Sony announced plans to build out retail stores more for advertising than for sales, Samsung plans to do the same thing. Of course, while Sony says they're more interested in using the stores for advertising, Samsung has gone one step further. They believe so strongly that this "store" is just for advertising that they won't sell you anything at the store. It's for showcasing products only. Also, a random note in the article, but the same week that Sony and Nintendo announced their plans for their next generation handheld gaming devices, this article also mentions that Samsung is planning for its own N-Gage like phone/gaming device. Apparently, the dismal failure of the N-Gage isn't enough to scare them off.

JOEL JOHNSON -- Sony's DCR-HC40 MiniDV Handycam gets a solid review from PC Magazine, with a lot of nice features crammed into a small casing, with a reasonable $699 price.

Sony Direct-to-DVD Camcorder

Sony Direct-to-DVD Camcorder 12/25/2004 05:18 PM

The first thing that comes to mind when seeing Sony's DCR-DVD7E is that it looks rather like a Discman, but this is of course only because it must make room for a DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW to use as recording media. The unit, announced yesterday in Europe, has a 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder on the back, and despite perhaps looking a bit unimpressive, the lens does a respectable 10x optical zoom. No idea what it's going to cost when it hits European shelves in May.

Sony Corp. will begin selling its first high-definition video camcorder in Japan on Oct. 15, and worldwide by the end of the year, the company said in an announcement Tuesday. While the camcorder is compatible with Japan's HDV high-definition digital video format, users cannot store video on Sony's Blu-ray Disc format. The HDR-FX1 camcorder is Sony's first step in promoting high definition video as the standard format for home-use camcorders, but its price makes it too expensive for most families initially, the company said.

Sony DCR-PC350 Camcorder Reviewed 07/09/2004 01:27 PM

CamCorderInfo has the first review I've seen of the Sony DCR-PC350, the new pocket-sized camcorder with the 3.31-megapixel sensor. Sadly, although it's a pretty decent review in general, they don't talk too much about the still image quality, something I'm sure many of us would like to know more about, since one of the major selling points of the DCR-PC350 is its function as a convergence device. Still, there is some good information in there, including talk of a "Cinematic Effect" setting that shoots video progressively, tweaks the color, and drops every fifth frame in an effort to emulate the look of film. And it works, sort of, at least as an interesting effect (although they say it ends up looking more like 8mm film than fancy, Hollywood-quality stuff.)
