Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E Video Camera

 

by makeuplover TRUSTWORTHY My mother loves the color red and so my father, as a present, gave her a Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E Video Camera which is in red. The video recorder looks really sleek and stylish. The red case is somehow shiny so it gives the...

Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E review

 

The Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E is a small but surprisingly feature-packed, high-quality camcorder. It's comparatively cheap and easy to use, too. Still photos aren't much cop, but this is a fine video device in all other respects.

Small and light ; Simple touchscreen interface ; Long, 25x optical zoom ; Effective auto functions ; Affordable price

Mediocre photo quality ; No HDMI cable included

Taking into account its price and size, we'd say most home-movie makers wouldn't be disappointed with the Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E. Having tested both models, we'd conclude that Panasonic's HDC-SD60 just pips Sony's Handycam at the post in terms of...

Sony HDR-CX115E review

 

Solid-state AVCHD cameras tend to be small but the CX115 is absolutely tiny. It's still comfortable to hold and use, though, with a familiar layout of buttons and touchscreen controls. The black finish looks smart, but it's also available in blue or red.

A well balanced, attractively priced AVCHD camera, but pipped to the post by the slightly better Panasonic HDC-SD60

After carefully studying all the reviews, I purchased this one for my Husband for a Christmas present 2011. He has only recently used it for any length of time while on a trip to Dubrovnik, hence not reviewing it before this date. He got on with it...

Stunning!

 

I bought this to replace a Panasonic which I had dropped. It is a stunning, high quality camcorder, don't let the price fool you into thinking it's a cheapo. The clarity is superb, the controls feel positive and although there is nothing fancy about...

I love it

 

I love this camcorder. It's small and light and looks good. The picture and sound quality is very good for a camcorder with this price. It also works very well with my PC via the software provided with the camcorder. We're delighted.

Needs H.264

 

Great camcorder with brilliant quality but a few things to watch out for. If you own a mac, you either need to purchase an avchd unwrapper or converter or you will not be able to play the video on quicktime, itunes. If you use imovie it can still be...
