Отзывы о Видеокамера Sony HDR-CX110E

I bought this camera used on ebay.com for 174.99. I plan on using it to film my hunts. I took it out the other day for a spin and i was really impressed. The zoom is absolutely fantastic. I can read cursive writing on my uncle's license plate from 75 yards away. Granted, the video format is a pain to work with. But, if you use the program from Koyote called "Free HD Converter" and convert it to flash, avi, mpg, or some other format, it's no problem at all. I like to work in flash so i convert to flv.The only thing i wasn't impressed with was the image stabilization. However, i always use a tripod or a bracket that mounts onto my treestand so it's nice and steady that way. I can count the points on a buck from 75 yards quite easily.I recommend it for quality at such a great price. The microphone is excellent and the carl zeiss lens is phenomenal. You won't be sorry if you buy the Sony HDR-CX110.

I purchased this camera on a budget of about $500. This camera was the best one I was able to research and it really does live up to all of the hype around it. It's the last model to have the Karl Zeiss lens in it, which is supposed to be a good lens. It also has a pretty cool slomo feature. 1080p HD, great quality.

Amazing handycam with a great video capturing. I am really happy to have it. Bought this in 2011 and very happy till date !

I purchased this camera to replace a 13 year old Sony Hi-8 camcorder - absolutely the best purchase I could have made in a camcorder. Unfortunately, the incredible quality of Hi-8 is ruined when digitized, so the quality is no longer there when one wants to edit on the PC. It is time for digital...I wanted to really love this camera. The main reason I selected this model is that it is the only quality camera I found that can be both an SD and an HD camera! That is a huge feature to me, considering the complexity of AVCHD. For those interested in this feature, you tell the camera, via a menu selection, to switch to SD or HD mode, and after a few moments the camera actually becomes just that! It is as if it reboots into a different mode - very cool!I found, however, that the image stabilization on this camera simply is not sufficient for my needs. On a tripod, fantastic, but hand-held video is too unstable for extended viewing. I also found that in high contrast, zoomed-in video, there is what I can only describe as a Gaussian-blur-like distortion in the video. Perhaps this is a limitation of the single CMOS sensor. I am not a video professional, but my photographic experience is sufficient that I should have been able to adjust for these deficiencies.As the quality of IS is very important to me, I am returning this to try the Panasonic HDC-SD60k - I understand that Panasonic is reputed to be the leader in Image Stabilization, so wish me luck.By the way - the camera, purchased from Amazon.com, was shipped from Electonica Direct. I obtained an RMA online, with no difficulty, and expect a full refund of the purchase price. They only seem to charge a restocking fee if the item is not return within 7 days of the RMA issue. This is great customer service, and gives you the opportunity to be sure you are happy with your purchase. I hope the return transaction goes as smoothly as I expect.10-09-2010 UPDATED:I have been playing with the Panasonic HDC-SD60, today. The Sony was MUCH smaller - cargo-pants-carry smaller. The Panasonic seems to have much better image stabilization [see comments below]. I must admit, however, that the Sony picture quality is much better [on all auto settings] than the Panasonic, and it adjusts to changes in lighting much more quickly. I will keep the Panasonic, though, since most of my video will be hand-held, and the Sony's IS simply didn't cut-it for me.

I'm kind of new to this HD stuff. I just wanted a camcorder that would take good videos and not break the bank in the process. I tried 3 camcorders in this low-mid price range. The CX-110, Canon's M30, and Panasonic's TM-55. I have to say, the CX-110 being the cheapest of the bunch, was the best. Compared to the M30, the picture quality was more realistic for me. The M30 touts it's vibrant picture quality but it was almost too vibrant. The colors seemed a little over-saturated. As for the ease of use, the touch screen on the CX-110 was much easier to navigate than the M30. I found at times that I had to really push down hard on the screen to make it do anything. Whereas the menu items on the CX-110 were easily selected with a tap of the finger. Also, I take a lot of videos of the kids inside the house where low light is an issue. This is where the Sony really blows the M30 away. Though it lacks the little led light (which I found useless unless you're really up close), The CX-110 was still able to produce decent video with minimal grainyness. As for comparing to the TM-55, it was really close. Both produced good video, easy to navigate, and good in low light. However, the TM-55 got a little too hot, to the point where it became uncomfortable. I also had problems with the white-balance. Even in it's manual mode, I couldn't correct it. Videos had a somewhat orange tinge to it. This is how I ended up with the CX-110. Alas, all is not perfect. The one thing that I felt the other two camcorders had an edge over the Sony was the image stabilization. The CX-110 has two modes: Active and Standard. Both are relatively the same except the Active will further assist in stabilizing the image when zooming in more. When keeping up with the kids or just plain walking, I found it to be a little more shaky than the other two camcorders. This was the reason for 4 out of 5 star rating. Couple of other points I'd like to hit on is the battery life. The camera comes with it's lowest capacity battery (NP-VF50) That'll give you a decent 1 1/2 - 2 hrs worth of shoot time. As stated before it's very portable. At 4 1/2 inches long it can fit easily in a shirt pocket. Works well with my imac. Imovie recognizes the camera/sd card immediately.

I wasn't going to write a review, but after re-reading some of the prior reviews and one of them giving 1 star for a poor user interface, I feel compelled to offset the reviewer's 1 star with my 5 stars.I've had the cx110 for over a week and love it and see no reason for the prior reviewer's 1 star rating. The cx110 is small and light weight and comes with us to all family events. It is is a huge improvement over my old Hi8 camera purchased 8 years ago. Now, I don't feel like a dork pulling out a brick of an antiquated video camera to preserve memories.I found a great deal on a 8gb SDHC class 6 card at frys dot com via slickdeals dot com. I'm recording at the 2nd highest level quality (FH) and the 8gb provides ~50-60 mins of recording time. The highest quality setting provides ~40-50 mins of recording time.The quality of recorded video/audio is excellent for the size and price of the camera. It handles low light pretty well in my opinion. Natural light colors come through great.My plan is to take the .mts files and burn them to a DVD and play them back on my samsung c5500 blue ray player. I guess this has something to with AVCHD or something which I'm still trying to figure out. The bad thing now, is my older Dell struggles to playback the HD video.The camera's provided PMB software looks okay, as it imports the mts files and will categorize them by date/time into a calendar view which is nice. It also includes a trimmer/editor in which you can cut out the beginning and/or end of a video clip and save it as a new file. The PMB program will also take the files you select and make a dvd out of it.I know there are other editing/authoring programs out there, but this one is free and included with the camera. Note: if your computer has choppy/stuttering play back issues like mine, check out a free player called Splash (lite). Play back is a lot is smoother but still not the best (which I attribute to my specs: older P4 dual core and older 256mb Ati video card).Supplied with the cx110 is a usb cable, composite cable for SD tv viewing and component cable for HD tv viewing. I bought a mini HDMI cable on amazon for ~$5, and have yet to use it. I also bought a 30mm UV filter to protect the lens for ~$6 on amazon as well... Small investment to protect a $400+ camera.In summary, if you're thinking about this camera go for it. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this camera, as our baby coming in Dec 2010, will have plenty of HD memories to look back on when he/she gets older. Not to mention my current sons 7 and 4 yrs, love watching videos of themselves, and the cx110 is perfect as we can watch videos instantly, as many times as we want. And also delete unneeded videos when ever we want. DO IT!Send me a comment if you have any questions.

I have been shopping for a replacement for my old Sony Mini DV which costed $1099. I read reviews of Sony HDR CX110 and Canon VIXIA R11 through CNET. Professional review is 3.0 for Sony and 3.5 for Canon. Therefore,I recently bought Canon VIXIA R11 with 32GB built in Flash memory. When I took several outdoor shots during the day, it has very good quality. As soon as I took a shot indoor, I saw a lot of noises and grainy. Indoor and low light picture quality is not acceptable. Even worse than the my old Sony camcorder with indoor low light shot. What a hassle to return.I bought Sony HDR CX110 with Amazon. My major concern was indoor low light shot. The indoor picture quality is GOOD. Better than what I expected. I don't really prefer touch screen, but this touch screen is pretty sensitive and very easy to operate even without opening the manual. 25X optical zoom is nice. This is the Camcorder that what I have been looking for.After this experience, I realized that Amazon customer review is reliable and practical. Thanks all other reviewers.I think this is the go-to-camcorder. Go for it. You will smile like me.:-D

The Sony seems like a nice little unit, I am however kind of disappointed in the outdoors video quality. The camera seems to grab the rays from the sun and wash images out, I have owned several camcorders over the years and never had the problem that I'm having with this one. I have made a short 2 1/2min video that explains the problem, I filmed it at the highest res so the file is to big to upload here but I did put it on my youtube page. [..]*****UPDATE 10/04/2011*****I was too quick at the draw with my review. I purchased my CX-110 from wally world, it was a close out and the floor model but for $230 I couldn't pass it up. I found that while shooting in the sun the grease from your finger tips makes the screen almost unusable, so it dawned on me that with this being a floor model I'm sure people had been sticking their fingers in all sorts of places so I checked out the lens with a flashlight and yep it was loaded with prints. After cleaning the lens my outdoor sunshine videos turned out perfect.

I am so frustrated with this camcorder. It works fine for a short while and then it works intermittently before quitting all together. First it was the buffer overload message and it stopped working. Well, I read up on this and it was suggested that I use Sony's memory stick, which I might add, was considerably more than other brands. But, hey, if it works, it's worth it. Well, it does't work. The picture started cutting out about 10 minutes into my recording, getting worse until finally stopping. The message when I tried to play it back was just 'data error'. Bottom line, no matter how nice the video quality is (and it is) if it isn't reliable and quits in the middle of a recording, it just make this camcorder a piece of garbage in my opinion. I'm giving it 1 star, because when it works, the video quality is excellent. Too bad it didn't work very often. Just a piece of garbage, and that's where it might end up too.UPDATE - Ok, I'm editing my review because after getting it fixed and using a SanDisk Extreme 45MB/s 16GB SDHC Card (SDSDX-016G-AFFP), the camera has been working fine. I would probably rate it higher if not for the problems I had with it, and not feeling totally confident that it won't happen again. Only time will tell. So far, so good though.

I wanted to buy a video camera because I was going on my honeymoon in 2 weeks in Hawaii and I wanted to capture the memories and scenery. After reading the reviews and nailing down the criteria for my first video camera puchase, I was swayed by what I saw for the CX110. It was somewhat more expensive than I wished, but had HD (which was a must), and had good reviews to back up the money. I am glad I listened to the user reviews.1. It is very compact. I can fit it easily in one hand and into a cargo shorts pocket. It also fits nicely in my wife's purse if she wanted to carry it.2. It has a touch screen LCD which is very intuitive. I did not read the instructions (well, maybe a little) and mostly figured everything out on my own. The menu system is easy to navigate once you understand the basics. If it is too complicated, just point and hit record and the default "auto" feature automatically adjust focus and light sensitivity (for evening, daytime, nighttime scenes) for amazing quality. Anyone can use this camera! Even my technophob wife had no problem.3. Has no built in memory, which is why it is cheaper than the CX150 (has 16 gigs built on it) but I knew that going in. I got a Kingston 32 gig Class 4 memory and have about an hour worth of footage on it from the honeymoon and still have plenty of room. I am not sure exactly much, but i would guess I used about only 15% - 20% of all of my memory. It has 4 different recoridng qualitys, 24 MB per second (best), 19 MbPS, 12MbPS (default setting), and 9 MbPS. I used the second highest quality (since I had lots of memory) and got amazing picture! I used the component cables and am waiting for my HDMI cable for some real digital hd, but the component picture blew me away!4. The optical zoom is scary good. I creeped on people across our condo and could see how many beer cans they had on their kitchen table.5. The audio quality is great. You can hear wind on lots of our footage but thats because our fault. Hearing the crashing waves and the birds in the background are a nice treat to our video.6. I am very happy with my purchase. HD is the way to go and this is a powerful cheap camera. This is all you need to get amazing picture for little cost. Sony is a quality brand and you know if your paying 500 for something, you might as well get something thats quality. Plus, having HD and blue-ray quality video makes it future proof.** I purchased mine off ebay for $400 dollars and got my 32mb for about $90. I know amazon sells it for 500 but perhaps some shopping would save you some bucks.

I use this camera to record weekly church services and sometimes weddings or musical concerts from full community orchestra down to chamber music. On an average week I record two hours of video to produce a one hour video.The Sony camera works great as a hand held, with all fingers placed where they should be while recording/panning/zooming.In low light, the images are acceptable. In normal to bright light, the images are totally crisp and HD. Under stage light they are awesome. It's my camera of choice in any filming project but I also make sure I bring other low tech gear to get a better sound recording and side shots.The Sony doesn't do a great job on recording stereo quality sound. If this is an important measurement to you, I would avoid this particular model. I get better audio off my old Cannon FS10 and frequently use it side by side with the Sony so as to capture better audio.Side note: The Sony's microphone is super sensitive to any handling of the camera. When placed on a tripod and left to run, it does fine, but like I said, it is super sensitive. If you have a soft squeak in your tripod, it records it. Just gently placing your fingers on the camera's controls? That sound gets recorded too. In a concert environment this wouldn't get noticed so much, but while recording long videos with lots of speaking, the extra clicks and clanks are not a welcome addition to the message. There is not a remote control for this camera.I recommend this camera for the casual user. It will do a great job of videoing your kids soccer game or church pageant and give you memories for a lifetime . . . crisp and clear on your HD television set.

Update: Mar. 14, 2011Switch to 1920x1080 w/ 16Mbps mode, that's really gorgeous video quality even in the almost completely dark env., and without any need to setup anything manually, just by itself automatically, that's really awesome performance under low-light, exactly what I need! I should say it deserve this expensive price for a entry-level HD camcorder even without internal flash storage.25X optical is a better thing which let me happy based on the pathetic photo quality, when you try to read a very far road sign, just push the optical zoom and read it easily. Feel free to keep a photo for the symbol or road sign, it should be very clear because it's real optical zoom, not digital one. What bother me only is the photo quality looks more like a video screenshot, I cannot describe clearly what it likes, but not similar with photos comes from DC or cellphone, looks much more bightly/vividly colored but the edge of each color is very smooth...________________________________________________________________________________________Pros:1) very good video quality with low-size file created.2) very good low-light sensitivity, good noise control capability.3) light weight.Cons:1) without even a simple flashlight, photo quality is even similar as cellphone level.2) too small for a man to handle it.3) Battery cannot be charged when used with AC adapter connected.All in all:It does perfectly as a camcorder, without any question. Will get my 5 stars if the photo quality is a little bit better than my NOKIA.

I think my review is less the camera's fault than my expectations of it not being met. However, others may find themselves in a similar position, so I hope my experience will enlighten anyone making the same mistake.This was my first video camera, and I was expecting similar functionality to my a similarly-priced still camera from 6 years ago -- a Minolta Dimage 7Hi. Specifically this meant some sort of easy manual focusing, and the ability to change settings like f-stop (or its video equivalent), white balance, ISO, etc...I expected too much and did not research enough, because with this video camera you've got to go through the menu system to attempt any of that. Good luck if you're trying to do it in the sun!That being said, the video quality is fantastic when it's in focus. I was recently on a camping trip, and did a sweep of the sunset over the Pacific. It's a beautiful shot, but the camera's automatic settings couldn't cope, and the image goes in and out of focus as the autofocus was freaking out.So, before I ramble on, let me summarize my experience:Pro's- Absolutely beautiful video quality in HD- Zoom is scary-good, but you need a tripod or camera stabilizer to use it at the highest level.- Extremely small. Front pants-pocket small.Con's- No viewfinder, no button-access to camera settings (everything through the LCD menu)- Menu is hard to see in the sun- Closing the LCD screen turns off the camera- Has an "easily breakable" feel to it. Don't ever drop it!- File format (AVCHD) is a pain to work with.

I love this camera, I also purchased the SPK-CXA underwater housing. I film surf videos in Hawaii and let me say, this is one of my favorite setups.The way the two sync up is through a wire that connects to the input in the same opening as where you charge your camera. usually for underwater housings(which are $1000+) they just have extenders to the actual buttons. The reason I bought this camera is because it is compatible with this underwater housing (which I bought new for $200 and comes with a warranty). However some of the down factors, which are based on the type of shooting I do made me decide on upgrading to the Sony CX350v or higher.1st, I didn't take off any stars because at this price factor you can't beat it.1. Image Stabilization, this camera is shaky. When you zoom halfway, i have to hold it with 2 hands. In the water I bob around in the impact zone for 2-4 hoursand have to hold my hand steady. I definitely would like as much help as I can get.2. The 350v has a wider angle lens. Essential for me.3. Built in 32gb hd. 350v has that and if I use this camera, I'm going to have to buy one ($50-$60).I don't know if anybody else has my same specifics but just remember to think about what type of shooting you are going to do first to figure out what you need.

This camcoder can record in HD quality (1080i) and directly on to SD memory cards. It is very small in size, simple to operate, has a number of built-in functions (which you might hardly use though) and has a nice lcd screen. As with our previous Sony camcoders, this also produces excellent video quality and acceptable audio quality.The camcoder would easily fit inside the palm of an average-sized adult and has a 2.7" LCD screen. You open the lcd screen to switch on the camcoder (it has not view finder). There is a manual lever to open the shutter and you are ready to shoot. The zoom and record buttons are conveniently located and can be operated by your index finger and thumb respectively. The lcd indicates battery life and remaining recording time. You can set a number of features (transitions, video quality (9 mbps to 24 mbps) etc). It has 25x optical zoom and okay quality 'shake compensation' feature. Most default settings are okay for home videos. Of course, there are menus for play back, review and delete videos. There is also a direct burn feature to burn directly to specific USB DVD burners w/o a computer.The videos are in 'm2ts' format and can be copied to a computer just using the SD card. Sony also provides a software to download, edit and burn these on to discs in bluray, AVCHD or SD-DVD formats. The software runs only on a PC though. However, the m2ts files can be viewed easily using VLC player software. you can connect the camcoder directly to a computer using USB cable or to a TV using a/v or component cable. HDMI cable is not included, but is optional (there is a mini hdmi port on the camcoder).The videos are of excellent quality - even with the 9 mbps setting, they are very good and gives you quiet a bit of recording time (~1.5 hours) on a 16GB card.

This is the cheapest high-def camera from sony, has exactly the same quality and specs than the other more expensive HD handycams but it doesnt come with any memory at all (that's the catch!). I also purchased the sony pro duo 16GB mark2 memory, that provides enough space to save up to 90min on full hd (1920x1080) quality for less than $70! When I first opened the box I couldnt believe how small this camera is and I thought it would be a problem since I have big hands, but I was mistaken, I have full access to all the buttons (rec - zoom - mode) with only one hand. Once connected to an HDTV the recording/play back quality is amazing. Steady-shot technology makes it really easy to take great and stable shots even when zooming in and no tripod. Highly recommended!Pros: excellent video recording quality even on low-light shots, stereo microphone array, 25x optical zoom, touch screen has good response (even for big fingers like mine!), user-friendly menus to configure settings, Carl Zeiss - Vario Tessar lens, stock battery (NP-FV50) has good charge above 100mins, steady-shot works great (image stabilizer).Cons: no memory, no case, no view-finder, no batt-only AC charger (will have to charge the battery while mounted on the camera), lcd has to be open or the camera will turn off (but you can turn the lcd 180deg, close it and that works!), no mini-HDMI to full-HDMI adapter cable.Important/recommended accesories:- Sony PRO Duo 8/16/32 GB Mark2 memory stick- HDMI Cable, mini-to-full (Part No. VMC-15MHD)- Travel AC charger (Part No. BC-TRV)- Carrying case with extra-battery (Part No. ACC-FV50A)- Shooting grip with mini-tripod (Part No. GP-AVTI)Hope this review will be helpful!

The video quality is amazing on this small camera, used it film some races and watched it when i got home and was blown away with the depth and image quality as well as how crisp the audio sounded. Great camera would recommend to anyone.

m392PESCJTQV2J / mo2F58D9HFJEVAJ Length:: 1:03 MinsI just bought this camcorder about 3 days ago, and I'm still amazed with it. i used this camera with my mom (Who is an amateur camera man)and the outcome was just amazing. of course with plenty of editing. it is still amazing. the low light quality isn't all that great, but other than that, it is great. the battery lasts about an hour and a half. Armed with only "Windows Movie Maker" and a free editing program called "Video Pad" i created this video. Hope this helps.Da Movie Makerz (Vimeo)

Hi thereIt is very goog for me to get this camera , My doughter need it and.I get on time.Thanks you very muchHugo Castro

I was looking for a high def camcorder, and so I found.Pros:- Small little camcorder- Great quality video- Touch screen- Many features, like slow motion.Cons:- No light on camera- No way to attach external microphone- Even using a 32 GB card can only record 88 minutes, not enough for everyone on highest settings.- Not all 32 GB cards are entirely compatible, it may work but you will constantly get an annoying message, might as well stick to Sony cards.- 1 GB of memory can only record 5 minutes on highest settings.Other thoughts:Bought this for youtube videos actually, so all the cons don't matter too much except the amount you can record at once. Quality is pretty nice.Haven't tried the cd yet, nor have I tried to edit videos. I will sure let you know how the video editing goes.Slow motion feature seems okay, not too slow, but you can always slow it down farther with a video editing software.

I was looking for a replacement for a low quality Samsung I have had for 3 years that never consistently finalized my discs. I really thought I wanted another disc camera until staff at a local electronics store told me that they are on their way out. I was hesitant to buy something that takes SDHC. I thought downloading would be a pain, etc. This camera has been great. I bought it for Christmas morning (low light) and my video came out clear and audible and crisp. The picture is great for all of my recordings of my childrens antics. Images are great outdoors as well as in. It also automatically snags any "smile" midstream and freezes it as a still shot. Or if you want you can take your own still shots with it. Some of them turn out good, some are just mediocre, it's only 3mp for still shots but it's a cool feature.This camera is teeny tiny but easy to operate. I bought extra media storage and an extra battery becasue previous posts mentioned I would need them, however I haven't used them yet.

The quality of video is good however the camera is too samll to perform regular function. Propbably okay for kids but not for regualr users

This is a nice little camcorder. There's not much to dislike about it. Maybe the worst thing is fingerprints on the view screen, which show up even worse when there's sunlight glaring off the screen and it's already hard to see. I'll have to keep a soft cloth in the camera bag.I like the color, the resolution, the zoom, autofocus works well, sound recording is good. The menus aren't too bad to navigate, and I especially like that you can place the common selections in your own custom menu at the beginning. I can't believe how small this unit is. Playback on a big screen TV is just astounding!Low light recording is excellent, at least for my needs, around the home in the evening. This should work well on Christmas morning too, I've been recording Christmas mornings with the family for almost 30 years.Battery life is ok, I seem to get an honest 90 minutes out of mine. I picked up a spare just in case.I bought a Toshiba camcorder for about 1/2 the price of the CX110 about 2 months ago and regretted it. Spend the money and get the Sony, you'll be glad you did.A word about some accessory items;(1)Small camcorder bag: look at the Tamrac 3392 Aero bag. Small, slim, good for a spare battery and SDHC card. Hang on your belt or keep the shoulder strap. Find it and see my review.(2)Wide angle lens: I got the Sony VCL-0630X wide angle lens for about $37 and am very satisfied. Find it and see my review. I like this lens.

I bought the CX110 to replace my old Sony mini-DV that would no long transfer from tape to my PC via Firewire.The old cam had great sound, but only so-so video, very poor in low light.This new one has a very good picture, not true HD quality, but near enough for the cost.The audio however is very poor compared to my old Mini-DV.I knew this would be true the minute I picked the camera up, it's just too light weight to be of good quality.In use, I found my guess to be right on the money, sadly.I video tape my band a lot, and we are a quiet band and have always sounded good on video.Not anymore, the CX110 sounds thin and noisy compared, leaving me unhappy and I'm going to ebay this thing.I plan on buying the next model of Zoom Q3HD camera.I hear the video is not so good as yet, but sound is...and sound is definitely more important to me than video.If you would like to compare videos of my old and new cam go to my Youtube channel at:[...]The CX110 vids are the two with the deep color...all others are the old cam.Summary: good camera, but not for (even modest) audiophile us in the least.
