Total score ? (maximal 570) | 372 | 344 |
| Pros | + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit + Many manual controls + Good image stabilizer for moving camera
| - Good display
|
| Cons | - weak wide angle
| - Image characteristics can not be changed - few image control options
|
| Conclusion | The new image stabilizer is better and especially interesting for people who like cheap glide camsIn terms of low light the camera easily gets surpassed by the Sony XR520 and the wide angle is a sorry affair in this price range.But that is just about all we could find to complain about.Except maybe that you get almost the same technology without the internal memory and improved image stabilization in the notably cheaper HDC-SD300. | The high resolution of its 3D images is a real novelty in this price range.In automatic mode, beautiful 3D images can be made quickly and easily.Manual control, however, is scarce. |
