During close-ups, even image-stabilized camcorders have a hard time telling the difference between accidental hand jitters and intentional panning. This high-definition camcorder has a new image-stabilization mode that tells it if any movements are mistakes, allowing the lens to lock on to subjects with tripod-like levels of steadiness. Another cool feature: Users can tap a moving object (a floating balloon, a flying gymnast), and the camera will automatically make all necessary adjustments to keep it in focus, as long as it's in the frame.
