Measuring 69mm x 67mm x 129mm and weighing 420grams (with battery), the camcorder features a new Exmor CMOS sensor with 10MP ClearVid 1/3.13-inch and the BIONZ technology. The HDR-CX12 sports Full HD recording 1920×1080i in AVCHD (Mpeg4 AVC/H.264, 16Mbps), the HDV support (1440×1080i) in 5/7/9Mbps and HDMI output.

Sony HDR-CX12 will be out in Japan in July but will hit stateside by August for around $900. It will be sold with a 8GB Memory Stick since it has no Hard Disk Drive. [Akihabara]
