Other than that, Sony is also unveiling the
first ever Android-powered Walkman, the NZ-Z1000 series. The 4.3-inch
touchscreen audio device comes equipped with S-Master MX, Clear Bass, Clear
Stereo, DSEE, and EX headphones. The new S-Master MX digital amplifier reduces
noise and distortion levels in music. It is available in 32GB storage and was
made available mid-April 2012.
The Handycam line-up that Sony introduces
this year is called HDR-PJ760VE and is the world’s first Balanced Optical
SteadyShot for stabilisation while shooting videos. It also comes with a
built-in projector that is built directly into the camcorder's flip-out LCD
panel enabling up to 100-inch scale projection. There is also their new compact
HDR-TD20VE that features Double Full HD 3D. Both will be available in Malaysia
from April 2012.
At the same time, Sony announced six new
Cybershot cameras: WX series (DSC-WX100), HX series (DSC- HX200V, HX20V,
HX10V) and TX series (DSC-TX20, TX66). The new range of Cyber-shot compact
digital cameras is available in Malaysia from March 2012 onwards: DSC-HX200V
(March), DSC-HX10V (April), DSC-TX66 (April), DSC-WX100 (May), DSC-TX20 (May)

Head Mount 3D visor
Sony's new Alpha 57 (SLT-A57) adopts the
Translucent Mirror Technology, which directs incoming light to the CMOS image
sensor and the AF sensor at the same time, allowing full-time continuous AF
during both still and video shooting. The Alpha 57 will be available in
Malaysia at all Sony stores and authorised outlets from April 2012.
Finally, there was a special showcase of
Sony's very own Sony Head Mount 3D visor. It comes with two 1280x720 0.7-inch OLED panels mounted in front of each eye
giving an experience comparable to viewing a 750-inch screen from 20m away, as
well as 5.1 surround sound from headphones integrated in it. At time of
writing, there is no news of it coming to Malaysia.
