Sony HDR-XR155E

 

Not the absolute latest Camcorder from Sony, but this current version will do everything that most will want. A hard disc to record to, great video in full HD and the ability to take still images at a size that can be reproduced at A4.

Doing my Internet searches found the Sony HDR-XR155E at a best price of £437.70 from the first link below

small, lightweight, quick to setup and use, great image quality, massive storage space, good value for money.

no viewfinder so has to be used with screen flipped open which may use up battery power quicker. no manual focus ring.

Amazing storage capacity. Two trips to Australia totalling five months in all and various other small jobs in between and I still haven't filled the hard disc!

No external mic socket.

Sony Handycam HDR-XR155

 

Smal & light, fits in your pocket Open the screen (and the lens cover) and its ready to record, easy. Plenty of recording space on the HDD, so no need for spare SD's Smooth zoom, good images on high, but may need a tripod for distance, to stop shaking....

It's very difficult to use the screen in bright sunlight, and there's no separate viewfinder.

Sony Handycam HDR-XR155

 

Picture and sound quality, built in hard storage drive,battery life is good and the availability of bigger batteries a bonus, build quality and the lens.

I think the HDMI lead should have been included and a wrist strap or case to put it in.
