Rated 5 out of 5

Prefer this over cx-550

This camcorder is great. I bought this mainly to capture my daughter's dance recitals and this camera is perfect for it. Shoots excellent in low light, has a very good zoom, and is nice and compact. Then I heard about the cx-550 coming out soon, and at first I wished I had waited, but then compared the specs and I am still happy with my purchase. I prefer the cx-520's focal length, and smaller size. Sure the cx-550 has the FX mode, copies direct to external hard drive, can use SD cards, has a viewfinder. But: I hear FH to FX difference is not huge, I prefer to save to my computer, It will take me a while to fill up the 64GB internal memory, and I haven't used a viewfinder since the 90's. Right now the two are the same price. The 520 has better zoom , the 550 has better wide angle with extras. Based on what I need the camcorder for, I prefer the cx520.
