One of Sony’s camcorder series, the Sony HDR-CX520V, is believed to give more improved feature and ability than its previous series. Thus, here will be given a short summary about what kind of improvement this camcorder achieved as has been mentioned by the manufacturer. Quality is the basic thing people will look for in each product as well in the camcoder. Sony HDR-CX520V offers 64GB flash high definition and this flash model keep the capabilities of many hard-drive versions.
The CX520V includes a large lens with excellent ability and this makes this camcorder little bit not as compact as a lot of flash-based camcorder on the market. However, this camcorder still felt small and light on your hand that you can slip it into your large jacket pocket so it will be ready whenever you want to use it. Looking at the body, this camcorder is built in very sturdy and well-constructed design. For standard usage, CX520V is generally comfortable to use whenever you capture the object. Unfortunately, the operational quirks are bit frustrating.
One of the examples is that the manual dial that has been moved from the front of the camcorder to the back may difficult you when you are still operating it with your left hand. The new dial’s design is only able to be operated in small increments. You will also feel it tight and desperately not responsive. This way you may get pretty annoyed while operating the manual options like Focus, Exposure, AE shift, and WB shift. Moreover, this comes into worse situation when your left hand that holds the dial in the new location may block the LCD while you are using it.
Other features are found in the LCD nook, such as power, playback, Night Shot, disc burn button, and also switch for the GPS. There are also Mini-HDMI and USB connectors, and the Memory Stick Duo Slot as external memory storage. On top of the camcorder is the zoom and photo buttons that is easy to operate with your forefinger. In details, the zoom control of this camcorder is well-balanced. It is not too lose nor too tight. Also, this zoom control is useful to maintain a slow steady rate.
Furthermore, the common feature like mic is placed in the front of the camcorder and there is no separation. Unfortunately, Sony cut the zoom and record capability by removing the buttons on the LCD bezel and those buttons have been moved to the touchscreen display. It presents you the improvement on its interface. Perhaps this new interface and the control layout are great enhancements because you can operate the control menu directly through the interface but sometimes users find it hard to operate and this can be so annoying. However, it offers you great offers that are the same high-quality video and the more compact packages.
