Sony Camcorder Reviews

 

Sony HDR-CX100 Review – The affordable high definition camcorder can be a tricky thing to find. However, the Sony HDR-CX100 has just been released and on paper ticks the boxes, retailing at less that $500. Could this be the perfect home user camcorder, or is this just a cheap and cheerful camera that fails to really live up to any kind of performance expectations?

Sony HDR-CX500V Review – The Sony HDR-CX500V is another high definition camcorder to be released by the electronic giant Sony and hits the shelves in the just over $1000 category along with lots of others, and we are beginning to wonder if they are making far too many in this category and if there really can be a viable market for all of them.

Sony HDR-CX520V Review – There are just hundreds of high definition camcorders flooding to the market, and another offer from Sony is the HDR-CX520V. This hits the top end of the market retailing at well over $1000 making this an expensive piece of kit, so is this something that you are going to want to own, or is this just too expensive in terms of the functionality it offers? We have tested it for you, so you can see what you think. We know Sony tends to be the top end of the market in terms of price, but this is a place that they have long earned with their consistent production of quality goods that rarely fail to please, so let’s see what the Sony HDR-CX520V has to offer.

Sony HDR-XR100 Review – The Sony HDR-XR100 is one of the latest high definition camcorders offered by Sony, and this one retails in the sub $700 category. This instantly gives it appeal to a much wider range of potential buyer that just cannot afford to be spending well over a grand on a video camera, but really wants their chance to record in high definition to capture precious family moments and preserve them forever.

Sony HDR-XR200V Review – The Sony HDR-XR200V is another high definition camcorder to hit the shelves and comes with a sub $1000 price tag, and is yet another camcorder to be released from Sony. We are beginning to wonder if this really isn’t a bit of overkill. There just seems to be at least 5 or 6 all within a couple hundred dollars that seem to do the same, so what is the point and how are you supposed to know which one to choose?

Sony HDR-XR500V Review – Camcorders in the high end class over $1000 are normally where Sony excel, so is the latest edition to the family, the Sony HDR-XR500V, going to live up to this reputation or is it going to be the black sheep of the family and let them down by proving that they cannot get it right all the time? This camcorder was one of a batch we are road testing for Sony this week, and we have so far found them all very different in terms of functionality but never lacking in terms of quality, which is a trait that Sony take pride in.

Sony HDR-XR520V Review – High definition is the latest advance in camcorder technology and the Sony HDR-XR520V is part of the rush to the market by the leading manufacturers, who are keen to get you to purchase their products. Sony has released many examples of their high definition camcorders at all levels to make sure that there is something for everyone in terms of price and functionality. This is a mid to top end camcorder that is in the over $1000 category meaning that this is not a cheap option, so what exactly are you getting for your money and what target market is the Sony HDR-XR520V aimed at?
