Excerpt: The HDR-TG3E's sleek titanium body is bound to catch admiring looks, and the brown paintwork gives it a quirky 1970s appearance. It feels solid and the pistol grip is...
Excerpt: The biggest downside is the fact that a new model, the HDR-TG5V is coming out in the beginning of June /July, which offers much better performance values (including a GPS...
Excerpt: The stylish, petite Sony HDR-TG3 is an HD camcorder that ships with a generous 4GB memory card, enough for about half an hour of footage recorded at full high-definition...
Excerpt: Making camcorders out of titanium makes about as much sense as making fire guards out of wax, but this slimline Full HD shooter luxuriates in its classy metallic shell....
Pros: The Sony HDR-TG3′s build quality is exceptional, from the machined metal zoom rocker and to the pristine 10x Carl Zeiss optics. It’s also unbelievably easy to use, mor...

Conclusion: Sony's TG3 brings together a lot of good ideas: it's small, easy to use and well-made--and then there's 5.1 surround sound and a touchscreen, too. Nevertheless, it...
Pros: Solid manufacturing, small case, Touchscreen interface, Plenty of manual settings and powerful automatic modes, Choice of SD or HD, 5.1 Sound
Cons: Autofocus can be slow in low light, No real wide angle, HD videos are reasonable, but we've seen better, Software incompatible with Mac OS X
