Sony Handycam HDR-PJ260

 

This projector-enabled camcorder from Sony offers plenty of useful features, including a touchscreen, but is priced out of the reach of many casual videographers.

Easy to use interface and menus ; Great for travellers ; Hybrid storage

Price ; Projector is dim in ambient light ; GPS only useful for travellers

If you're keen on the idea of a projector, then this is the camcorder for you. But if you're not going to use this feature, then it would be better to look for another camcorder in a lower price range. Both the projector and the GPS features would make...

Sony HDR-PJ260VE

 

Great to have a full HD camcorder with an inbuilt projector to show your films immediately. Good quality optics, good sound quality and easy to see the display even in bright sunlight.

Battery life with the standard battery could be better, especially when you use the projector.
