The Pope Gets a Camcorder

Thursday July 9, 2009
The G8 meeting of the world's industrial powers got underway in Italy this week. As part of the international diplomacy, Japan's Prime Minister gave the Pope a gift: a Sony HDR-XR500V camcorder.

No word on whether other Japanese camcorder titans like Panasonic and Canon are feeling slighted. See a video of the camcorder gifting here.

All of this raises an important question, what camcorder would you give the Pope?
