| Major Chicago Newspaper Uses Canon U.S.A.’s XH A1 HD Camcorder to Capture Multimedia News
DMN Newswire--2007-10-31--Look carefully. The picture that appears on the front page of tomorrow�s Chicago Tribune may not be a �photograph� at all.

Sony swings to profit on electronics
Sony Corp swung to a quarterly operating profit as it booked strong sales of liquid crystal display TVs and digital cameras and benefited from a weaker yen, and it slightly raised its full-year forecast. The profit jump also reflected the absence of hefty costs booked in the same quarter last year to recall faulty PC batteries. Sony, which competes with Canon Inc in digital cameras and with Samsung Electronics Co Ltd in flat TVs, has enjoyed strong demand for its Cyber-shot digital cameras, Handycam camcorders, Vaio PCs and Bravia LCD TVs. But its PlayStation 3 (PS3) videogame console continued to lag Nintendo Co Ltd's hot-selling Wii, and the game division fell deep into the red as it was forced to sell the PS3 at a loss.
Bag a bargain online
Christmas shoppers can bag substantial savings by going online rather than to the high street, research by UK consumer group Which? shows. It found that savings of more than 1,000 pounds could be made on a shopping list of five popular gifts - a flat-screen television, camera, camcorder, hi-fi and DVD recorder. Researchers compared prices on 72 products at 111 retailers and found that online savings ranged from 11% on digital camcorders to 29% on LCD and plasma televisions. Savings could also be made on everything from books (14%) and MP3/MP4 players (11%) to CDs (7%) and champagne (2%). But games consoles - such as the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 - were found to be similarly priced. "The trick to bagging a bargain is to discover which stores offer the most extras," Which? said in its November magazine.

Twenty20 launches VholdR
The other day we thought that 2008 was going to be the year of the GPS, with Garmin, SatMap and others launching new, compact, outdoorsy navigational gizmos. But today 2008 is clearly going to be the year of the self-contained helmetcam. Interbike had early signs, with VIO launching its high-end, solid-state recording POV1 (although that's not really self-contained, there's a wire between the camera bit and the recorder) and GoPro flooding the world with bijou Digital Hero cameras. And now helmetcam specialists Twenty20 have stepped up with a solution that fits neatly between those two in capability and price. Behold, then, the curiously-named VholdR "wearable camcorder". Unlike its previous products, the VholdR has no wires and doesn't rely on an external recording device.
