Sony Handicam HDR-CX550v Review


Sony Handicam HDR-CX550V:

Given its accouterments a  large G series lens,  64GB memory built in memory, 3.5-inch LCD,  EVF, headphone, mic jacks, and shutter d iris controls the Sony Handycam HDR-CX550V's price of $1000 is a value for money. It may be a bit painful, but not much of a surprise. One of Sony's two nearly identical high-end models for its other version, the CX550V differs from its sibling, the XR550V, primarily with its recording media and by having a slightly different body design. Their designs differ only because of their storage media. The XR550V's 240GB hard drive versus the CX550V's flash memory.

Let us have look into HDR-CX55V pros and Cons.
Pros:
  • Image Stabilization capability is best in class
  • Wide(r) angle lens (28mm equivalent) then competitors
  • SDHC cards now accepted
  • Best in class low-light performance
  • 24 MB/sec recording rate now standard for 1080i filming
  • Full manual feature set for video; geotagging for video is fun, if not very practical; autofocus system performs very well.
Cons:
  • No wind filter, which is frustrating for outdoor use
  • Does not include 24p Processing
  • Panasonic 700 Camcorder includes Time Lapse Recording, which is neat but not present on the Sony. And yes, the Panasonic TM700 includes a Wind Filter as well.
  • Annoying menu system
  • relatively big, heavy and expensive
  • Not-full-HD video quality; cumbersome touch-screen interface.
