The Sony RDR-HXD700 is a machine that has rapidly gained a large fan base and now Sony aims to trump it by releasing the RDR-HXD860.

They are also releasing an upgrade to the smaller capacity RDR-HXD500 in the form of the RDR-HXD560. The 860 has a 160GB hard drive, while the 560 has a smaller 80 GB of storage.

The 860 also has an HDMI port meaning it's HDTV ready when the mood takes you. Both recorders can record from their built in digital tuners with 8 day EPG, or from an external source.

The RDR-HXD560 should be available now, priced £350, and the higher-spec RDR-HXD860 will be available in September, priced £400.
