Is that a high definition camcorder with a built-in GPS receiver and a 10x optical zoom in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us? That's right, the sleek, titanium encased Sony HDR-TG5V Handycam Camcorder ($1,000) is a diminutive but surprisingly full-featured HD camcorder. It records in 1920x1080 HD video using a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens onto 16GB of built-in storage, and accepts Memory Stick media for ever-expandable hybrid recording. With image stabilization, 120x digital zoom, and 10x optical zoom, you'll get high quality recording no matter the distance. Automatic geotagging means you'll never forget where you've been. The camcorder also doubles as a capable digital camera, with 4-megapixel still photograph capability and a built-in, self-adjusting flash.

Need EXTREME resolution? Then check out the new line of RED Modular Cameras ($2,500 - $55,000; 2009-2010). Designed to let you choose a "brain" ranging from 3K to 28K in resolution and then add modules to create the ideal setup for you, these cameras take both video and stills, with modules for Canon and Nikon lens mounts, 1080p monitoring, inputs/ouputs, remote control, and more. In case you were wondering about that 28K thing above, that's 261 Megapixels in camera-speak, 28000 x 9334, or resolution so intense that it requires caps and italics to properly convey the severity.

First there was the Flip Ultra, then the Flip Mino, and now the Flip Mino HD ($230).

The Mino HD, which weighs just over 3 ounces, also features a 1.5 inch anti-glare LCD display, one-touch recording, and a rechargeable lithium ion battery.

This is new. The Sony HDR-CX12 Handycam ($900; Aug.) is an HD camcorder with Smile Shutter technology, which captures great photos while recording videos at the same time. It works like this — while recording, the camera detects smiles and automatically takes and saves a photo without you having to lift a finger, and without disrupting the video. The HDR-CX12 can record full 1920 x 1080 HD video and 10-megapixel photos on Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo media and any Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark2) media cards (it ships with a 4GB card). It also features a 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus screen, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound recording, and a built-in zoom microphone.

You also get the easy to use PC/Mac software for quickly sharing your videos. The Mino comes in Apple-esque white or black.

Leave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
