Sony HDR-CX110 High-Definition Handycam Camcorder (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

My first Sony camcorder experience was in 1992 with a compact hi8 camcorder with all the bells and whistles at the time.... I paid 1,200 for that and a Sony hi 8 tape player bag and accesssories I needed a camcorder to video my mother before she passed away and the birth of my nephew this sony was as detaled as the HD is today 19yrs later it still holds strong and is still in good working order..... NOW i have this cx110 for almost a year and I cant belive the claraty and sharpness this little cam has BUT the best part is that the low light indoors and night time video it will blow you away this is truly a 1080 masterpiece as far as I am concerned I'm a music composer and I like to put my music to film this camcorder is it for me What it comes withthis cam has an 1/4" back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor for superior low-light performance not an 1/8,A Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar and that makes a huge difference Sony uses one of the best lens on this camcorder and it is also used by Canon's higher end camaras as well2x faster Quick AF Intelligent Auto (9 iAuto modesand a very impressive image Processor Bionzx.v. Color technology enables to capture nearly twice as many viewable colors as the standard RGB color range, gives a more natural life-like images this I found very important in this camcorderalso the battery life is a full 8 hrs so its great to take on a day trip use this camcorder with the right settings and use the Sandisk or Sony 32 GB Class 10 card for speed great for sports and fast action video. With this card you'll think you're at the movies ALSO go to youtube and check out some of the night TEST videos done with this camcorder they are great hope the review helpedI use the VLC Media Player with this camcorder and it works well.This camcorders supports Microsoft Windows XP SP3/ Windows Vista SP2 and windows 7.

I purchased this camera a couple of weeks ago after someone I now had also picked it up. It was to replace my old Sony Hi-8 camera that recently quit working. I must say right off the bat that anyone looking to buy a starter, entry-level, low price high definition camera - this is the one for you! At under two pounds, it's extremely light, compact, and portable. (Having longer fingers I almost have a hard time working the trigger and zoom.) As an entry level camera, you must be prepared for the fact that things like memory cards, cases, HDMI cables, and other bells and whistles will not come with this camera - hence the low price.What you do get is an incredible 1080 24bit HD picture that will blow you away. My first outing was to our local Desert Botanical Gardens to view and film the colorful wildflowers, cactai, and butterflies. I used the HD FX (highest quality video setting) for video, as well as taking 3meg pictures. When I returned home and viewed the footage and photos, my jaw dropped at the clarity and vivid, rich colors in beautiful 1080 on my 52" Sony TV. The details were very crisp and no artifacts were present in the movies. It was amazing.The camera was easy to use and operate with the simple touch screens, as well as the I-Auto feature to help with the proper contrast and exposure. It was great to pick which scene you wanted without having to fast forward or rewind ever again!! The only drawbacks on the camera that I don't like are the low life battery that comes with it, as well as having to purchase your own HDMI cable separately. All in all, this is a great camera for the price!!

I just received my Sony Camera HDR-CX110. The main problem is that this camera has not an internal memoryt, so you have to expend additional USD 100 for a decent flash card 32G memory, despite the fact the camera has good image quality, it only have 3.1Megapixel for still images, what a disapointment. For only additional USD40 you can buy a Sony HDR-CX150, 25x optical zoom with internal memory of 16G; even the older version of Sony HDR-CX 100 is better, internal memory of 8G and 4 Megapixel still images. I felt robbed by Sony with this "new version videocamera of HDR-CX100" DON'T BUY IT, SONY SCAMS YOU WITH THIS MODEL, I will go for a CANON, at least they don't scam you!!

Video quality on this camcorder is fantastic. I did many research and debated between Canon and Sony. I didn't like the model CX100 because of the fact that the poor quality in low light condition. I almost decided to buy canon HF200. I went to bestbuy to buy this canon. I saw this new model CX110 and bestbuy representative explained the features. This CX-110 is a major upgrade from CX100. New sensor Emos "R" and 25X optical zoom were the best one. I then decided to buy this Sony new model instead of Canon.I am very happy about my decision. I took shots in day light and also in low night, the video is excellent. Amazon.com is very good and i got it within 4 days after placing the order.I read the review comment of the person who rated 2 for this camcorder. I am surprised to note the reason for the low rating. Even though the specification of this camcorder clearly says no internal memory, i don't understand why people buy and rate low for their mistake.Bottomline, my prediction is Sony will break-through and out beat other competitor in 2010 in camcorder.

It's advertised as a night shot camcorder, but that is simply not the case.

reporting feedback from wife/daughter, is pleased with product at mo! slight hic-cup with product, but got their in the end.
