Sony Handycam HDR-CX110 review:

A follow-up to the CX100, the Sony Handycam HDR-CX110, CX150 and XR150 represent Sony's budget-priced HD triumvirate. They differ only by color and storage media--the CX110 has no built-in memory, the CX150 has 16GB built in, and the XR150 incorporates...

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.

Sony HDR-CX110 Handycam Camcorder Review

This Sony HDR-CX110 independent review takes a look into the pros and cons of this particular camcorder. It would be beneficial for you if you read this first before you decide on getting the Sony HDR-CX110 camcorder.

Th Sony HDR-CX110 camcorder performs pretty well given its size, with video quality ranging from good to excellent. However, filming in low light, it can prove inferior. The only big downside to its performance is its saving time for buffered video. It...

Sony HDR-CX110 Full HD flash memory camcorder

A tiny Sony camcorder with Full HD recording capabilities

Good HD video quality, extensive feature set, portable design

Poor stills mode, ugly battery placement

The Sony HDR-CX110 is an affordable flash-memory-based camcorder capable of taking attractive HD video. For the asking price, it's an impressive performer across the board. It will suit casual shooters and videographers looking for a cheap portable...

Sony HDR-CX110 review

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...

Sony Handycam HDR-CX110

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...

Amazing camera, but took 7 hours to view and edit its files on computer

This camera works with SDHC cards as well as the stated Memory Stick Pro Duo, though SDHC is much cheaper. Free HD Converter V1.7 works very well for converting those uncommon M2TS files to something I can play and edit on my computer. Sony should have...

This HD Camcorder records at 1920x1080 very well with high quality results. There are tons of configuration settings, manual focus, metering, and all that. I carry it around with every time I go somewhere and the small size makes it very portable. The...

I had to spend 7 hours searching Google for a program that converts the uncommon M2TS files to something I can work with just to be able to view and edit the videos. The included PMB software doesn't even keep the HD resolution upon converting to AVI...

Nice for webcasting

Great price, features and price. We use the HDMI output to connect to an HD capture device and stream full HD. This camera has LANC control so we can control the camera remotely

Very small they are easy to steal. We have lost a few and now watch them closely

Ultra Camcorder!

Just as I expected when I was doing my research. I love the way the quality of the videos turns out. Gotta love HD quality. What more can you ask from the right price of the camera?

Product Specifications

Capture stunning 1920 x 1080 Full HD video and 3-megapixel images with the ultra-compact HDR-CX110, which features an "Exmor R" CMOS sensor for superior low-light performance, and a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 25x optical zoom lens that brings you closer to the action. Plus, the 2.7" touch panel display rotates 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles.Ideal for sporting events, wildlife, or distance shooting, a 25x optical zoom brings you closer to the action, so you can capture extremely tight shots, even from far away. In addition, digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming (up to 300x) is clearer, with less distortion.
