Sony has announced a trio of 3D-capable HDTV series this year, but only the flagship XBR-LX900 actually includes the glasses--2 pair !--you'll need to enjoy 3D content. Of course, other family members beyond the first two will have to get their own pairs, sold separately ($150 each), but at least with this model Sony builds the emitter into the TV (the others make you purchase the $50 emitter separately). Along with the Panasonic TC-PVT25 series, it's the only 3D-capable TV announced so far to include glasses, although the Panasonic only includes one pair.
The newest Sony Cyber-Shot digital point-and-shoot cameras will come equipped with GPS and a digital compass. Users can use Google Maps to find the best shooting spots. The DSC-HX5V and DSC-TX7 cameras are the smallest and thinnest AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) capable camera.
The new Sanyo Xacti cams are lighter and thinner than ever before. The VPC- SH1 is a little larger but comes with 1080p recording, a 35mm wide-angle lens, 30x optical zoom and takes 4 megapixel photos while the 1-inch thick VPC-CS1 records 1080p, but only has 10x zoom and takes 3 megapixel stills.
