Wow HD for under 500
When it comes to HD I owned an HDR-fx1, it took tapes, was rather heavy, and extremely expensive. But thats what you need if you want to shoot really high end stuff. And for those who want perfect indoor out door HD thats what you need to spend.
However I wanted someing small, light, ease of use that I can take with me anywhere and shoot anything without my arm getting tired. Trust me an HDR-FX1 will have your hand shaking after 30 minutes. This camera is light and compact. The indoor lighting performace is what I kind of expect as to get a really good indoor ambient lighting shot done right you need a sensor of at least 1/2 of an inch. So if you are a film maker kind of fellow then you will need to still pull out those softbox lights and set that up anyway. As for the regular folks, screwing in a couple 100 Watt lights couldnt hurt.
As for the out door performance, pretty darn good. Again Sony is always impressive when it comes to imaging. I dont think I'll ever buy from another brand. Oh and their Sony Vegas editing software is super easy to use and can do just about everything you need!

Awesome HD Camcorder
This camcorder is so cool. I thought it was going to be big but when I received it, it was tiny. It fits in the palm of my hand. This is a great HD camcorder for the price! The zoom is superb and it goes VERY far, although it is hard to hold still when zooming in far. Outside video quality is very clear and looks great. Inside video quality is ok and more like 720p not full 1080p. Picture quality is what stunned me most. Knowing that it is a camcorder I did not think it would taking amazing still pictures. You do not need a digital camera with this camcorder because it takes better still pictures than digital cameras (not digital SLR cameras). The extra built- in memory is nice but you still need another memory card. Overall this is a great camcorder if you want full HD video and great still pictures too all at a great price.

So small, so cool
Very light and unobtrusive. Final footage as good if not better than my HC1. Have to be careful of jiggles, best carried underhanded. 8 gig harddrive needs to be bumped up but okay for shorts.

Great Product
After looking at my standard definition videos on my HD TV I wanted to upgrade. I chose the HDR CX100 and I am extremely satisfied with its performance. I also chose this model to avoid a mechanical recording media e.g., hard drive or disk, to get the maximum battery life and durability. I plan to use this camera on ski trips and other outings where its ruggedness will come in handy. All in all, I am glad that I chose this Sony model.
