Reviews

  • Sony Handycam HDR-CX520V

    The CX520V comes with 64GB of on-board flash memory, active image stabilisation, a 3-inch touchscreen, and face and smile detection.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-CX500V

    With a GPS receiver for geo-tagging, 32GB of flash memory storage, face detection and smile shutter, and active image stabilisation, the CX500 is loaded to the gills.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

    While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-TG5

    It doesn't boast the sharpest HD video, nor the most gee-whiz features, but the 1080i TG5 does have a sexy body. Clothed in titanium the TG5 is a delight to hold, now if only it came in a colour other than champagne.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SR47

    If high storage capacity, long zoom range and easy operation are above video quality on your list of needs, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR47 is well worth a look.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SX40

    Take the step down from the SX60 to the SX40 and you'll have to make do with only 4GB of internal flash memory. Other features, such as 60x optical zoom lens and YouTube uploading, remain though. You do gain a choice of colours (red, silver or blue) though.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SX60

    The headline act in Sony's standard-def flash camcorder range, the SX60 features 16GB of built-in memory, YouTube uploading and a 60x optical zoom lens.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SR67

    Headlining Sony's 2009 range of standard-def camcorders, the SR67 features an 80GB hard-disk, 60x optical zoom and 2.7-inch touchscreen LCD.
