Haier just unleashed several new HDTVs (to go along with the one we saw a couple days ago) and home audio gear here at CES. First up is the EV series of 3D HDTVs that sport a "virtually edgeless picture" thanks to a super thin bezel, and come in both 65- and 55-inch versions. The EV Series also packs 2D to 3D conversion tech, Yahoo Connected TV and the company's new Smart Home UI to access all of your media content, plus a double-sided QWERTY remote to navigate it.

Sony reveals Spring Handycam lineup, including HDR-CX760V, XR260V, and CX190

At CES in Las Vegas, Sony has unveiled what appears to be their entire imaging lineup for 2012, including 13 new Handycam camcorders. Of them, seven models are traditional camcorders, in the sense that they support neither 3D capture nor light projector playback with built-in video projectors.
Most of the announced models have features and specifications that are in lock-step with their projector-equipped equivalents. At the top of the product line, for example, the HDR-CX760V is almost identical to the HDR-PJ760V, minus the projector. This includes Full HD video recording at 24p, with 24.1 megapixel still image capture, and 96 GB of built in flash memory. The CX760V will be an optical Stead...

Sony has unveiled five new high-end camcorders, all equipped with built-in video projectors for video playback on any smooth surface. Prices will range from $1600 to a relatively affordable $440 model.
Headlining this announcement is the HDR-PJ760V Projector Handycam, a Full HD model that can record using a variety of frame rates and offers 24.1 megapixel still image capture (though that’s likely an interpolated value). The PJ760V will be capable of projecting videos of up to 100 inches diagonally in size, and storing 120 hours of video on 96 GB of internal flash memory. Optical SteadyShot will aim to reduce shakiness while zooming, and the camcorder will be equipped with a full suite of ma...

No new flagship camcorder for Canon at CES
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamcordersCanon
The Canon HF G10 will remain Canon’s flagship Vixia camcorder for 2012, and the company is not announcing a new top-line consumer camcorder this year at CES. The Canon HF G10 was a powerful and top-notch camcorder when we reviewed it last year, so it’s likely that this year-old model will still be able to hold its own against the newly-minted competition being released from other manufacturers. Still, Canon’s decision to sit on its top model rather than provide a new version with a few updates is somewhat surprising.

Kodak announces new still and video cameras

Kodak is unveiling two new cameras today, adding a model to both the EasyShare and PlayFull lineups. While certainly not the “reboot” we were hoping for from this company, the two cameras are at least pretty cool in their own right.
First up is the EasyShare Wireless, a b/g/n wi-fi equipped ultracompact capable of transmitting captured stills and videos to a nearby computer or wireless printer, without the need for cables or memory card swapping. iPhone tethering is also possible, which will allow remote data transfer from almost anywhere. Essential specs include a 16 megapixel CCD sensor (1/2.3-type), 5x optical zoom, ISO sensitivity up to 1600, and a full suite of in-camera effects and sce...

Asus motherboards make strong showing in 2011
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUS
While hard drives for its computers have been affected by the floods in Thailand, Asus is still a powerhouse in the motherboard market. According to a Digitimes report, the company has just announced that its products make up 70 percent of the global market share for motherboards using the Intel X79 Express chipset. The X79 is a niche product, but the company's other motherboards made a strong showing as well, with Asus motherboards using the Intel Z68 and P67 chipsets apparently reaching 50 to 60 percent market share.

Fusion Garage goes into liquidation owing millions
Like UnlikeFiled in: Fusion Garage
Fusion Garage wasn’t exactly looking healthy back in December, but the company has finally gone into liquidation: reportedly leaving creditors owed a whopping $40m. Company founder Chandresekar Rathakrishnan apparently signed the liquidation documents on January 5, just ahead of CES kicking off.
Although Fusion Garage was never short on ambition, good products and healthy sales always seemed somewhat beyond the company’s reach. Initially begun as part of the CrunchPad project, a joint venture with Michael Arrington, Fusion Garage split off amid some acrimony – spawning a lawsuit or two in the process – and decided to go its own way with the “JooJoo“ slate.

LG Magic Remote uses Kinect-like 3D camera and interface
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsLG
LG just demoed its 3D Magic Motion Remote at its CES press conference (watch the livestream here), and it looks like it works a lot like Microsoft's Kinect — it's the same remote we spotted earlier, with the addition of a 3D camera that LG says will allow you to use full-body movements to emulate the functions of the Magic Remote. The slide we're looking at shows someone playing Fruit Ninja, a popular Kinect title, so it certainly seems like LG is working on competing with Microsoft's flagship gaming peripheral.

Sony announced their latest high-end 3D camcorder today at CES 2012 in Las Vegas. The HDR-TD20V Handycam replaces the TD10 as the company’s most full-featured and highest-priced consumer 3D camcorderLike its predecessor, this will be a Double Full HD 3D camcorder with an autostereoscopic 3D (glasses-free) playback monitor. Last season, the TD10’s 3D playback monitor was the best in the industry (although it still wasn’t great), so we’re excited to see what improvements this new model will bring.

Still image capture of up to 20 megapixels is also possible, though in the past Sony has relied on heavy interpola...

Panasonic added three new Full HD camcorders to their lineup today. The three new camcorders include the HC-V700, HC-V500, and HC-V100, and all three models include single CMOS chips with designs that built upon last year’s models. In addition to a few updates, it appears Panasonic made some administrative changes with its new lineup—this new year ushers in a new naming scheme and sees hard drives eliminated as a built-in memory option.

Panasonic pulled back the curtain on their latest flagship camcorder today—the HC-X900M—another evolutionary upgrade to the top end of their consumer lineup.
The HC-X900M replaces last year’s HDC-TM900, with which it shares most of its specs. It’s built around three separate 1/4.1-inch backlit CMOS sensors, one for each RGB color channel (the so-called 3MOS system, though as we’d expect, there have been some tweaks to the setup).

Pre-CES: Samsung has unveiled the ST76 and ST66 5x zoom budget compact cameras.

Both also make use of 16MP CCD sensors, giving 720p video, and feature 2.7" LCDs. The ST76 adds optical image stabilization and an extra $10 to the asking price.
