Initially purchased the Canon HF S10 - it is a very nice camcorder in many respects. However, I noticed more image shaking than I thought it should have. from Crutchfield.com This Sony HDR-XR520V is amazing! My last camera was so horrible in low light, I would have to turn all the lights on in the room and open the window blinds and sometimes that still wasn't enough. from Crutchfield.com - it's a 1080i camcorder and for this price it should be 1080p; - memory card recording time is not fast enough for consecutive shots on camera mode, for fast scenes you must save pictures on hard drive; - Sony goes with Memory Stick for photos, not very portable to pc and laptops outside Sony's word; - Sony Lens are good but this project should has Carl Zeiss Lens; from Amazon.com This is my 4th camcorder all from Sony! I never had any problem with my Sony Camcorders. from Amazon.com This is my 3rd Sony camcorder over the past 11 years. My first was the TRV-310 which used Digital 8 tapes and at the time was the high end for consumer camcorders. from Amazon.com I've been Sony cameras user since about 30 years, so I'm very used with a great number of models and its evolution. from Amazon.com I've been Sony cameras user since about 30 years, so I'm very used with a great number of models and its evolution. from Amazon.com Pity the lefties, for this camera fits my right hand perfectly with all the controls in easily-learnable positions. Capacious hard drive does away with worries about storage on a 25-day vacation trip like my recent one. from Amazon.com This is my 3rd Sony camcorder over the past 11 years.
