Sony has announced several new camcorders at CES.

SonyStyle Website

HDR-XR520V - $1,499.99
240GB Hard Drive

HDR-XR500V - $1,299.99
120GB Hard Drive

HDR-XR200V - $999.99
80GB Hard Drive

HDR-XR100 - $749.99
60GB Hard Drive

At first glance, it looks like the biggest difference is the hard drive size.

They also released a Flash Based Camera

HDR-CX100 (several colors)
8GB Embedded memory
$599.00

Thanks Joe. Damn post xmas announcements always catch me on the blindside. I guess the lanc equipped housings will have an advantage with the high turnover of models.

I was just looking over some of the specs of these cameras and some of them seem to be contradicting.
Example:
On the XR520V, the sensor size shows 1/3.15" ClearVid™ CMOS sensor, but in the specs of the camera it shows 1/2.88” ClearVid™ CMOS image sensor or 1/2.88" Exmor R™ CMOS sensor.

Maybe they'll straighten the specs out so we know for sure.
