Sony Handycam HDR-UX19E

Advantages: High Definition TV quality
Disadvantages: Stills quality wasn't as good as it could be

...Well it hasn't taken Sony long to bypass all the competition and come out on top. I love this camcorder! I have no real technological abilities but I feel like an amateur film maker it's so advanced. Though maybe that's because it's a semi-professional camcorder. The picture is sharp and clear on its widescreen screen due to the High Definition. It's palm sized body is more like using a camera. I like a good macro on my camera's and this is good enough for me ! I've almost made my camera extinct! More importantly, it's easy to use despite it's quality.

The fingerprints can be distracting at times when recording. If you're in the market for a hard-drive-based high-definition camcorder, you won't go wrong with one of these Sonys. If 120GB is too much... Read review
