"Sony's smallest, lightest yet professional HDV camcorder Boasting an incredibly small size, and providing HDV with the 1080i standard, the HVR-A1E offers a host of advanced features for professional use. Using technology such as CMOS means the HVR-A1E is an ultra-compact camcorder capable of providing HDV in full 1080 line resolution." http://www.sony.co.uk/biz/product/hdvcamcorders/hvr-a1e
