Sony Handycam HDR-CX110 (red)

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...

"Very lite and small (compact)"

Very lite and small (compact) I first tried the SD version and was very disapointed then found this on sale for 299.00 and it was like night and day.... I would highly recommend this if you want to take it out of the box charge it and use without...

small battery is awesome and video played back on an hd tv is just incredible 17m, also the zoom can focus really rapidly....

There might be overkill on all the settings I usually just use the auto

Entry Level = Mediocre Quality Picture

Yes, the device is compact and light, has nicefeatures and is easy to use. If you are looking for a HD camcorder to record HD video the way most people would understand HD quality to be, this is NOT the device that will deliver that to you.

Device is compact and light, has good features and easy to use. Battery life is excellent

Static picture quality is great, but as soon as the lens scans over the image frame, picture quality degrades considerably

Great camera cnet reviewer is too critical

Just purchased, so can't speak to reliability, but very user friendly, great picture, and affordable for the average joe consumer.

Easy to use, awesome picture, good value

No internal memory, but memory cards are affordable

"Works great for me."

Everyone is spoilt today. Videos made in full sun on this camera look better than broadcast received at home - yes there is some noise and it looks better because it has not been through the processing and transmission of broadcast.

Great picture

No microphone socket - the audio for interviews would be improved with an external mic, but the inbuilt one is very sensitive, which helps.

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.
