Sony HDRXR200VE High Definition Handycam Camcorder
Posted by: ReelDots.com In: Camcorders
Sony HDRXR200VE High Definition Handycam Camcorder with Built-In 120GB Hard Disc Drive (50hrs) has a 15x optical zoom from renowned optical specialists Carl Zeiss, pulling distant scenes closer. Full HD 1080 recording means your videos are packed with detail, while colours look more lifelike than ever, thanks to x.v.Colour technology almost doubling the standard colour palette. Sony has achieved a world first by introducing GPS technology to a select number of camcorders, including the XR200. Geotagged images enrich your viewing experience, letting you retrace your memories as interactive online maps. Smart functions help you make the most of every recording opportunity. If you’re on the move, Optical SteadyShot Active Mode will reduce the effects of camera shake by up to ten times more than standard optical stabilisation systems. If faces are in your frame, select Face Detection for natural–looking skin tones. And now there’s no need to pack your stills camera, the XR200 is ready to take photos too, even when you’re recording movie footage.
With up to 50 hours’ HD recording capacity on the 120GB hard disk drive, just flip open the LCD touchscreen and you’re ready to start filming.
Helpful consumer’s review
Not sure what the previous buyer was on about,I tend to not agree on a few points.
The editing software is not up to the job at all, but that is no problem there is lots of software on the market that can edit AVCHD.
I am just back from 3 weeks in Florida and used the HandyCam every day,and found the feature that takes pics when you smile a bonus and very good quality.
The HandyCam is a joy to carry,and on full HD will give you about 30 Hours of recording time,and high 70 mins battery life with the supplied NPFH 60 battery.
I was looking at buying the 520VE but to be honest for an extra £300 i think it isn’t worth it.
The sound is superb with Dolby 5.1 as standard
Anyhow i think the best thing is to view the videos i shot on Youtube that may help you decide, type in mrj2k8 that is my username and check out the tests i have of the camcorder in action
