  Review: Sony HDR-CX6EK digital camcorder
  By Jonathan Parkyn
  
  Review summary: Sony puts another nail in the video cassette's coffin with its memory card camcorder
  
  Pros: Very powerful home computer ; Good extras supplied ; Decent expansion possibilities
  
  Cons: Graphics performance is not quite up to scratch
  
  Verdict: Sony's HDR-CX6EK records high-definition video directly to a removable memory card, making tape, DVD and even hard disk-based camcorders seem like dinosaurs in comparison.

  Sony Handycam HDR-CX6EK
  By Philip Ryan
  
  Review summary: There are some great features squashed into the tiny body of the Sony Handycam HDR-CX6EK. It's small thanks to its AVCHD flash memory, and you can use the touchscreen interface to navigate a nice complement of controls, all through the sharp Zeiss T ...
  
  Pros: Excellent video and performance ; impressive still photos for a camcorder ; adequate manual controls ; docking station included
  
  Cons: No wind filter ; USB on dock only, not on camcorder ; doesn't include mini HDMI cable ; no viewfinder

  Pros: Attractive, and handles well, Generous features, A good price for a HD camcorder
  
  Cons: No external mic input, No viewfinder
  
  Verdict: The CX6 is great to look at and has all the functionality that you expect from Sony. The footage we shot was without compromise, although the HD footage didn't have the 'shine' we were expecting. At this price point, though, Sony has delivered a great ...

  Sony HDR-CX6
  
  Review summary: Not so much to look at beyond the sleek lens barrel. You may notice the company has sensibly restricted the digital zoom to 20x rather than something huge and awful-looking
  
  Pros: User-friendly menus ; Touchscreen functionality ; Strong audio
  
  Cons: Disappointing HD performance ; Pricey
  
  Verdict: Up front a flap covers a hot-shoe for adding an optional accessory such as a video light. An inbuilt microphone points up to the heavens with promises of recording 5.1 channels of high-quality audio. We'll see
