HD isn’t something purely the domain of professionals either. It’s also now possible to produce your own HD content. Sony now has five high definition Handycam models available – such as the new HDRSR1 (pictured right) – that let you shoot your own movies in high definition onto hard disk using a new format (AVCHD) for capturing HD video, up to 1080 lines, by more efficiently compressing images. “The detail is just brilliant, the picture is so clear, it’s like looking at your memories through a window,” says Colley.

Many of Sony’s range of VAIO notebooks also have the capability to edit HD footage transferred from the

camcorders. The finished movie can then be watched on the computer or through a BRAVIA HD screen. Sony also has a VAIO notebook equipped with Blu-ray. The VGNAR18GP, $5499 (pictured left). With this VAIO, you can burn your home movie onto a Blu-ray disc, which can be played back on the VAIO, a Blu-ray player or the soon to be released PLAYSTATION®3. Memories shared with family and friends will come alive like never before. In HD, it’s the closest you’ll come to reliving the moment. “The world of entertainment never looked so full on with colour, so full on with possibility, so full on with detail,” says Colley.
