Tokyo's Komamura Corporation is readying a new handheld camcorder called the Falcon Eye KC-2000 for release, which brings a splash of color to scenes too dark to be visible to the human eye.

 

The veteran professional camera maker isn't revealing too much about exactly how its new Falcon Eye camera is able to record up to 720p color video at 30 frames per second (fps) using the H.264 codec in almost complete darkness, other than to say that its a combination of a new 2/3-in type CMOS sensor and advanced image processing with powerful noise elimination technology.
