I'm sure many members here own or would like to own the new Sony gadgets coming out. Let's discuss them here.
Listing the Sony hero products for 2012 here.

HX853 Bravia and Cybershot TX200V ?
You need to wait till March for the camera and April-May for the TV.
The TV comes in 40, 46 and 55 inch sizes and supports the newly developed Titanium 3D Glasses which are very light weight. Other features -
*EDGE LED with Local Dimming for deep blacks and great contrast
*X-Reality PRO image processing engine with new algorithm for 3D
*MotionFlow XR800 for smooth motion
*3D Super Resolution upscaling for sub-HD 3D content
*Gorilla Glass
*Integrated WIFI
*Sony Music and Video Unlimited and free 3D experience channel exclusive to Bravia TVs.
*Skype ready
*Frameless Monolithic Design
And there is a surprise too
- the price. It will be priced lower than what you might expect.[ This Message was edited by: randomuser on 2012-02-02 03:12 ]

I want it all
I'm interested in the Network Media Player and the TV but there is some great class leading hardware above - a couple of things will be on my shopping list.
Posted by randomuser
So the new Bravia seems to be catching the most attention. Sony is going to receive cash from Bonovox and Goldenface soon I guess
@Goldenface
What products are in your shopping list from the above?

NEX Cameras will now have their own App store, what exactly that means? it simply means we can now download NEX-apps such as 3rd party filters and features:

HX950 isn't a huge improvement but does address the minor picture issues with the HX920. It has an updated interface, the new 2012 monolithic design (like the Xperia S white
), better video processing engine, and improved 3D performance. Also pricing will be very attractive

"Sony Alpha Rumors is claiming to have a big pile of specs for what's presumed to be the NEX-5R, so with a fistful of sodium chloride at the ready, here goes. The site believes the new mirrorless ILC will pack a 16.1-megapixel APS-C sensor, low-light sensitivity up to 25,600 and the same tiltable three-inch screen we saw in the NEX-F3. It's also saying that we can expect to see 99-point phase-detection and 25 contrast autofocus points, with 1920 x 1080 HD video recording at 60p and a battery that'll take 400 pictures on a single charge."

"According to Sony Alpha Rumors, it'll be a 24.3-megapixel CMOS Exmor sensor with an ISO range of 100-25,600, 14 bit RAW output and a 1/8000 maximum shutter speed. Other nuggets of interest include a 102 point AF system, full 1080p HD video recording (at 60fps) and a 921k dot LCD (like that seen on the A77 pictured). When might we see this come to market? According to the rumor-mill, sometime in October, with an official unveiling in early September. "

In your opinion, what can the gold metal detectors help you? In fact, on one hand it can help you to make your road of treasure hunting more fluently and bring you more surprise. Besides on the other hand it can also help people in other fields and aspects. For example by using the gold metal detector the archologist can know the position of the metal items more clearly so that they wonn't do damaged to teh treasures when they do the digging. And in your daily life if you lost your ring and other metal items. The gold metal detectors can also help you to find it. Really useful, doesn't it?

Xloud - is a feature that enhances the loudness of the music without compromising on details.
Xplod - is Sony's brand name for car audio products.
Posted by hihihans
Thanks, would make sense to combine xPlod and xLoud though.
