| I love this camera...i wasnt expecting to be so small an have so much options, not to mention about the video quality. |
Insanely small and does great job in low light and of course quality and price - must consider this

I got this about two weeks ago
pros - small size - incredibly small - yet great picture. Low light performance is amazing. Good battery life (I added FV70 - as included battery has a life of about 1 hour).
cons - no memory included - so I have to wait to get my new transcend 16GB speed-10 card. Someway it is better as I broke my last camara and spent lots of money trying to get my videos out of that camcorder. Here I can open and take the card out and boom.
Got format fatory software for free - it will read the current format on the card and convert to regular formats (like AVI etc.)
I checked the converted files on PC and looks great. I haven't tried Sony's software yet, but will try it in couple of weeks.

This camcoder can record in HD quality (1080i) and directly on to SD memory cards. It is very small in size, simple to operate, has a number of built-in functions (which you might hardly use though) and has a nice lcd screen. As with our previous Sony camcoders, this also produces excellent video quality and acceptable audio quality.
The camcoder would easily fit inside the palm of an average-sized adult and has a 2.7" LCD screen. You open the lcd screen to switch on the camcoder (it has not view finder). There is a manual lever to open the shutter and you are ready to shoot. The zoom and record buttons are conveniently located and can be operated by your index finger and thumb respectively. The lcd indicates battery life and remaining recording time. You can set a number of features (transitions, video quality (9 mbps to 24 mbps) etc). It has 25x optical zoom and okay quality 'shake compensation' feature. Most default settings are okay for home videos. Of course, there are menus for play back, review and delete videos. There is also a direct burn feature to burn directly to specific USB DVD burners w/o a computer.
The videos are in 'm2ts' format and can be copied to a computer just using the SD card. Sony also provides a software to download, edit and burn these on to discs in bluray, AVCHD or SD-DVD formats. The software runs only on a PC though. However, the m2ts files can be viewed easily using VLC player software. you can connect the camcoder directly to a computer using USB cable or to a TV using a/v or component cable. HDMI cable is not included, but is optional (there is a mini hdmi port on the camcoder).
The videos are of excellent quality - even with the 9 mbps setting, they are very good and gives you quiet a bit of recording time (~1.5 hours) on a 16GB card. |
Just what I was looking for...

| I recently purchased this camera to record all of those priceless memories a new addition to the family can bring. After doing alot of product research and suffering through one failed attempt at purchasing a camcorder, I found this one. Let me just say that it was the best camera for the price. The video is extremely crisp and vivid under normal lighting and conditions. It does get a bit "grainy" under low light, but it beats the competition hands down in low light. This camcorder has a lot of useful features that I was really impressed with, and they are very user friendly. I admit that the menus and user interface leaves a little to be desired, but that seems to be common among the Sony Handycam line of products wether it is SD or HD. However, I still give this camera 5 stars, and if I had it to do all over again I would, no doubt, purchase this camera. |
GOOD LOW LIGHT RECORDING!!

For those who record indoors and do not want to shine bright lamps in peoples faces. A friend of mine had a Canon HF-R10 HD Camcorder and this Sony CX110 blows that one away in low light recording. The video from the sony was way more crisp and smooth than the canon. My friend ended up returning the canon and bought the sony. Very convenient and fast to upload video to pc with the included software.
Pros: Good low light recording, 4 different HD recording modes, good software, convenient uploading, good battery life, touch screen menus, easy to navigate, stunning HD video captures, edit/trim clips on camera.
Cons: Smile Detection useless for picture captures, but great for auto face focusing. Can feel funky to hold with the small strap.
Overall Great Product! |
