Sony is giving a teaser of a new "hi-def wearable video camera" that looks to be an answer to the GoPros and Contours of the world...

Not another "action" cam with a jellocam CMOS sensor :(
Coming this late to the party I'd have hoped they'd bring something to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack.

Speaking of small cameras and Sony, we have the new Sony palmcorder with the gyro stabilised lens. It's quite a weighty package. Watching the lens swivel around as it tracks a face is rather cool.

Sony cams are great & this will be well received. So many cams & so little time.

Looks nice & small.
Anyone have a target sales price?

Here's some more info, apparently it's a lot smaller than anyone thought initially when the news got out yesterday. It also has stereo microphones and will be available in the fall. No word on pricing, although I would think it will have to be competitive with the GoPro Hero2.
