Sony somewhat quietly announced new Mini-DV Camcorders that will come to the market in February 2005 on their Europe site.

The press-release says that the Sony DCR-PC55E and DCR-PC53E are only slightly bigger than the mini-DV cassette they use. Both camcorders have a 3 inch touch screen display. They also can record to Memory Stick DUO. Both feature a 10X Optical Zoom capability through a Carl Zeiss Lens. Besides that the press-release is pretty sparse on specifications. It also talks about a upcoming DVD Handycam dubbed DCR-DVD7.
