'Sony's DCR-IP220 Network Handycam Camcorder IP uses MICROMV technology to deliver exceptional video and still image quality in an incredibly compact and ingeniously-designed package.'
'It's too bad that Sony doesn't include
actual aperture ratings with the exposure control though.'
'the zoom ring is fairly narrow and close to the lens, and we found it awkward to rotate smoothly while keeping our fingers out of the picture.'
'Unfortunately, the camcorder's instruction manual is very lacking in details and specifics, so certain features may take some actual hands-on experience before you figure them out completely. . '
'The built-in wide-angle lens is capable of 29.8-357.6mm (35mm conversion) focal distance with a nice aperture opening between F/1.8-3.4.'
'A built-in GPS receiver makes the HDR-XR350V an ideal choice for travelers.'
'Also present are relatively useless buttons for battery info'
'This new three-CCD ultra-compact Sony Handycam DCR-HC1000 Mini-DV camcorder aims to distinguish itself with a 90-degree swiveling hand grip, which lets you shoot from awkward angles.'
'It's great that Sony is including a full set of manual controls, but they become virtually impossible to use when they are shoved into the ease of use badlands that is Sony's touch screen.'
'This additional record button offers added flexibility when you are trying to capture a challenging angle like a low shot of a child crawling on the floor or when you flip the screen to record yourself'
'The DCR-DVD101 has horrible low light performance'
'lack of sharpness and noticeable pixelation'
'There is significant blue noise which is unfortunate.'
