Recently Sony announced their latest range of Handycam Full HD digital cameras. In this video review you will be introduced to one of the highlights – this is Sony HDR-PJ780 and PJ790V. The unique to Sony balanced optical Steady Shot is present on board. The powerful image stabilizer inside makes the footage and the transitions steady and smooth.

Native AVCHD file support is the first thing I expected for the new Avid Media Composer. Many Sony PJ790V/PJ780 users we find that they has the confusion how to import Sony PJ790V/PJ780 MTS files to Avid MC 6. Experience the new Sony PJ790V/PJ780 Digital Camcorder and after recording some 1080 60p AVCHD footage, we met the importing problems as the Avid 6 can't import Sony PJ790V/PJ780 recorded 1080 50/60P AVCHD video, the frame rate is so high and the AVCHD codec is not friendly to Avid MC 6 for editing.
