      By Joe Minihane

      Review summary: If you're backing a new Full HD camcorder with the best part of a grand, you want to know that you've plumped for a winner. On paper, the Sony HDR-XR520 should be number one: a massive 240GB HDDm 12x zoom, Full HD and even GPS for geotagging. But is ...

      Sony Handycam HDR-XR520VE

      By Lori Grunin

      Review summary: Despite a relatively awkward user interface and a high price tag, the Handycam HDR-XR520VE is a great hi-def camcorder. It records first-rate video to an ample 240GB hard drive, offers great performance and sports a consumer-friendly feature set, ...

      Pros: First-rate video quality and performance ; geotagging videos is fun

      Cons: Annoying menu system ; no wind filter ; no manual shutter-speed, iris or audio controls ; relatively big and heavy ; expensive

      Verdict: Although its geotagging capabilities are mostly a novelty, its interface could use a complete overhaul and it's overpriced, the top-notch video quality, performance and consumer-friendly feature set of the Sony Handycam HDR-XR520VE make it a worthy ...

      Sony Handycam HDR-XR520V

      Pros: First rate video quality and performance ; geotagging videos is fun, if limited

      Cons: Annoying menu system ; no wind filter ; no manual shutter-speed, iris or audio controls ; relatively big and heavy ; expensive

      Verdict: 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-X520V's top-notch video quality, performance, and consumer-friendly feature ...

      Sony HDR-XR520

      By Chris Jager

      Pros: Good video quality, excellent stills mode, 240GB hard drive

      Cons: Video quality slightly below Canon HF S10, depressingly unaffordable

      Verdict: The Sony HDR-XR520 is a rock-solid HDD video camera that improves on its predecessors in nearly every way. On the other hand, it's unlikely that many consumers will be able to afford it at its current price point.
