Aren’t these new HD cameras amazing? The single problem is viewing-back video shot on them. With 2-inch screens (that aren’t HD themselves), it’s just not enough. So goes Sony’s thinking with this CLM-V55 add-on, that takes it up to 5-inches.
Out in March, the CLM-V55 is compatible with interchangeable lens cameras from Sony and other manufacturers that use ISO or auto-lock accessory shoes. The screen could be tilted and swivelled to numerous angles, and has an 800 x 480 resolution-so, not HD, but it surely’s significantly better than what’s supplied in your camera.
Most interestingly, the screen actually permits you to zoom in on scenes for a ” pixel-perfect view” of the HD image, so that you may adjust parameters if the colors and brightness just aren’t matching your directorial ambitions. [ Sony ]
