Panasonic and Sony in Cahoots on New HD Camcorder Format

PC Magazine has the story on Panasonic and Sony's announcement last week of a new high-def camcorder format called AVCHD that will allow for 1080i and 720p recording and playback onto 8-centimeter DVDs. Standard DVDs are 12 cm and are considered too big given the trend of increasingly smaller camcorders and digital cameras.

No word yet on when any AVCHD products will be available or at what price.
