Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 review: Sony Handycam HDR-CX150

 

Sony Handycam HDR-CX150

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, but this bare-bones camcorder just barely delivers on the promise of HD quality.

An extremely compact and versatile little camcorder that actually does justice to the money spent.

Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 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...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

"Amazingly Great Video Quality, And Good Audio Quality."

 

Good Zoom, Video Quality Is Far More Better Than Any Other Cam Within This Range. Zoom Mic Does Great Job. iAuto Feature Is Superb.

Records Wind Too Much. Images Are Worst. A Simple 2MP Mobile Camera Defeat It In Image Quality.

Great Camera

 

Bought the HDR-CX160 model camcorder at Costco a month ago and have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the picture and sound. Still photos were good also. One of my cons is the LCD picture. I do a lot of outdoor filming and it can be very...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Somewhat lacking

 

It does not have an input function, only output, if you are thinking about using this camcorder to record TV, look for other camcorders. The camcorder is the bang for the buck. Somewhat lacking features are what you get for having HD recording with...

High quality video. 1080p ; Built in quality microphone ; Small size: It slides in a pocket and this comes really handy

Battery life: The stock battery life gives little more than 2 hours of recording on a high setting. To get more battery life, you have to purchase extra battery, which is bulkier and costs $100 ; Memory: The stock memory of 16GB provides about 2.5...
