SONY Handycam Exmor HDR-CX100

Strengths: Great HD video quality. Really compact and lightweight. Convenient combination of the internal and flash memory recording media. Fast start-up time. Price.

Weakness: Expensive Memory stick PRO Duo media. No image stabilization.

I have been waiting for a HD camcorder worth investing money that could provide a REAL image quality improvement compare to my 3-year old digital camcorder. Other considerations were 1)price 2)size 3)ability to burn footage on regular DVD, to be sent to significant others.

In July 2009 I purchased SONY HDR-CX100 from Buydig and really love this cute HD camcorder. I can take it with me everywhere because it is smaller than a soda can. Shooting video is a lot of fun, given very fast starting time and responsiveness, and intuitive software. The biggest surprise was the quality of video, taken either outdoors or in a well-lit room. It is simply breathtaking, when viewed directly from the camcorder on a wide-screen TV via the HDMI connection. Absence of image stabilization, probably required to make this camcorder affordable, was much less of a problem than I expected.

According to the manual, high-resolution footage can be transferred on regular DVD media and then played on any AVCHD-compatible blue-ray player. Alternatively, resolution could be down-graded and the footage stored and played on DVD player. I have not tried neither of these important features and cannot comment yet.

In summary, SONY HDR-CX100 high-definition camcorder met and exceeded all of my expectations. It is worth every penny and provides significant improvement of video quality compare to my regular definition digital camcorder.

Sony Handycam HDR-CX100 (black)

THE GOOD: Compact and attractive; above-average low-light video. THE BAD: Not terribly great lens; occasionally awkward design. THE BOTTOM LINE: You can tell where Sony cut corners on this compact, flash-based HD camcorder. While its decent, there are better options for the money than the Sony Handycam HDR-CX100.

Sony CX 100 Camcorder Review

Sony's Handycam CX100 is an able flash memory camcorder that delivers high quality video and an attractive feature set. It's a bulkier and boxier than other flash camcorders on the market, but is very responsive and starts up rapidly. Overall a good value at the price.
