JVC has pushed out a new Everio camcorder line, with everything from upscaling to dual storage and iPod compatibility shoved in. They’re like hand-held bell and whistle factories!

Heard of 4K before? Essentially it’s an ultra-high end form of hi-def that delivers movies with over four times the detail of 1080p. Yep, that’s right: that’s four times the quality of Blu-ray! Well, RED has just shown off its Red-Ray player, which delivers 4K and any resolution below it, playing video off specially made discs (Blu-ray isn’t compatible) or from a Compact Flash card. Obviously you’ll need a compatible screen or projector too – and there aren’t many of those around – but in any case the unit won’t arrive until early 2009 at the earliest. Pricing and specs haven’t been confirmed yet either, but expect both to be high!
Out 2009 | £TBC

UPDATE: Fancy getting your own hands on Hitachi’s super-slim telly? We’ve got good news: the 37 and 42 inch models will be available this month, and the optional tuner hits shelves in September.
We’ve managed to get our sweaty paws on an early sample of the UT32MH70, which has got to be the skinniest television in Europe right now – it’s just 35mm thin (as you can see from the second picture above), which is less than half the thickness of most 32-inch LCD TVs.
The KRF-9000FD projector uses LCOS technology to create a full 1080p image up to 200 inches in size and sports a couple of HDMI inputs, and cinematic perfectionists will be overjoyed it supports advanced calibration. It’s going to be out later this month, but Pioneer is keeping schtum on the price.
