If it's 1920x1080 60fps then it's 1080p but that seems highly unlikely. Are you sure about this one Engadget? 'Full HD' usually means 1920x1080 at 50 or 60 fields per second - the equivalent of 25 or 30fps.

Per the Japanese translation of the 'impress' link:
A series:
"As for animated picture record type with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, as for resolution as for 1,920×1,080i/1,440×1,080i and frame rate 60fps."

K series:
"As for lens optical 10 time zoom (F3.5) with, as for focal length of 35mm conversion 46.2~503.6mm. As for record resolution 1,280×720 [dotsudo] being progressive, as for frame rate 60fps. As for sound with AAC of 16bit/48kHz, as for bit rate 128kbps."

I'm still saying typo, mistranslation or another case of dumb PR people writing technology press releases. There are no consumer level 1080p camcorders and certainly none this small. Full HD on any other cam means 1920x1080 at 1080i. I suspect it may be capable of 720p (1280x720 at 60fps) but not 1080p.
