Sony Handycam HDR-CX110
Compact; lens focuses relatively fast.
Merely OK video quality; worse-than-expected lens flare problems in bright sunlight.
Its small size and attractive price might draw you to the Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 and CX110, but these bare-bones camcorders just barely delivers on the promise of HD quality.

Its small size and attractive price might draw you to the Sony Handycam CX110, but this bare-bones camcorder just barely delivers on the promise of HD quality.
Compact ; Lens focuses relatively quickly
Merely OK video quality ; Worse-than-expected lens flare problems in bright sunlight
If you're flipping and flopping between the flash memory-only CX110 and the hard drive XR150, remember that unless you're planning on shooting day-long videos that require a hard disk's worth of capacity, you shouldn't be choosing a model with the...

It uses the MPEG4-AVC/H.264 video format and comes equipped with a 25x optical zoom lens. As the entry-level model in Sony's HD flash memory camcorder range, the HDR-CX110 lacks some of the features found on its costlier brethren — including inbuilt...
