Sony Handycam HDR-XR520V

THE GOOD: First rate video quality and performance; geotagging videos is fun, if limited. THE BAD: Annoying menu system; no wind filter; no manual shutter-speed, iris or audio controls; relatively big and heavy; expensive. THE BOTTOM LINE: Though the geotagging capability is more of a novelty than killer a app in this product, and the interface could use a complete overhaul, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V and HDR-X520Vs top-notch video quality, performance, and consumer-friendly feature set distinguish them--though consumers might justifiably want a lower price. Since 14 hours is plenty of recording time, especially if supplemented with flash media, the XR500V is the better deal of the two. -
