Sony Handycam HDR-CX155E

Disc space and battery life are excellent

The unit would be far more useable if the screen were augmented by a conventional viewfinder. When the sun shines it is often impossible to see either the subjects or the on screen information

Sony HDRCX155EB

Great quality picture. Smaller than I thought. My only criticism is the lack of a viewfinder. Maybe that's the way camcorders are going? Generally very happy though.
