A Brief Look at Sony’s Latest Camcorders
Unveiled in the 1st quarter of 2009, Sony’s HDR-CX100 is a low-end high-definition camcorder that is loaded with capabilities such as 8GB internal flash memory or optional Memory Stick Pro DUO memory card, 10x optical zoom, a 1/5″ Exmor™ CMOS image sensor with ClearVid™ array, Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens with SteadyShot™ image stabilization, face detection, Smile Shutter, manual focus, exposure and white balance adjustments among many more features. Sony’s breakthrough release also gives a 2.7″ touchscreen LCD display and is available in 3 colors - silver, black or red. In spite of being colossal and boxier in comparison with its peers, the Sony HDR-CX100 is very receptive and starts up in a jiffy. This Sony piece of kit provides high quality video at a averagely cheap price tag.
The Sony HDR-CX500V is a high-definition camcorder loaded with abilities such as a 12mp still image capture, back-illuminated 1/2.88″ “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor with ClearVid™ array, Professional-quality Sony® G Lens, Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with Active Mode and 3-Way Shake Canceling, 12X Optical, 150X Digital Zoom, 32GB flash memory and geotagging. By having such a huge feature-pack together with a inexpensive price tag, it is hard to walk away from this fine performing machine.
The Sony HDR-CX520V offers facilities corresponding to that of the Sony HDR-CX500V except it has twice the amount of flash memory. With these two corresponding pieces of equipment among competition, customers are spoilt for choice.
