Sony CX500E is Wonderful

After using Sony CX500E for a while, I have to say, I am extremely satisfied with this camcorder. Just like the Sony P8 camera, this Sony product is perfect, and I always feel I am lucky to choose it. There are several reasons.

  1. The SteadyShot feature is amazing. I can take video when I am walking, even running a little bit, but the final result is just like the camera were mounted to a tripod - very clear.
  2. The 12X zoom is wonderful, and useful.
  3. The bright image it captures. It is much better than the dark image of Nikon.
  4. I didn't have any expectation for the software coming with any hardware, but the PMB (Photo Motion Browser) was wonderful, even better than Picasa.
  5. The nightshot is a must for me - to record Yifan at night when Wendy and I was telling story to him at night
  6. The camera is relatively small to carry. With CX500E, I don't need to carry cameras at all.
  7. The big LCD screen and touch screen feature - wonderful

I have recorded many video (12G of them). I still didn't figure out a way to share them yet - I don't feel comfortable to upload it to Tudou.com, or Youku.com. YouTube is blocked in China - troublesome for me. Will figure it out later.

If you are still choosing which camcorder to buy, I highly recommend this camera: Sony CX500E.

Here are some sample photos I took with the camera:

P.S. Wendy is interested in Dingcha now.

I am also thinking about buying a camcorder for my incoming baby. It seems to me the equivalent of 500E in the US is Sony Handycam HDR-CX500V. It got good reviews from Amazon. Also, "the date available at Amazon" appeared to be wrong. Could not be April 18, 2005.

I was also debating between Flip and this full fledge handycam. I think my old Canon digital camera could do something Flip does.

Yes. In US, it is HDR-CX500V - V means GPS, and E means Europe version.
