| 60 of 60 people found the following review helpful  Great Camcorder for an Amateur., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony HDR-CX220/B High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics) This camcorder is an excellent camcorder for someone who is looking for a cheap option for HD recording and HD playback. It is light-weight, compact, sturdy, and very user-friendly. I will go through different portions of this camcorder in my review. If I miss something, please feel free to ask me in comments, and I will add it to my review.NAVIGATION The menu and options on this camcorder is a breeze to use. Next to the 2.7" display are two buttons- a play button and a cursor/select button. The play button is only used to select between recording and play-back. The cursor/select button is used for 99% of the navigating on this camcorder. The positive side of this is that it is easy to use and feels natural. It acts as a joystick for scrolling but also pushes inward for selecting options. This makes navigation very easy for a beginner, since your finger never has to leave the same button, while operating the menu on this camcorder. MENU...

Inside video is decent. Better then most camera's I have used. But not the same as outdoor sunny day..which is to be expected. Menu is easy to set up and navigate. Camera is small and light. I can fit it in my large coat pocket. Comes with a built in USB cable for charging and transfer ( which was nice!) , as well as a USB extension cable and a HDMI cable for your Tv No built in memory, you will need a SD card. But they are cheap. I use by phone wall USB adapter to charge. Battery life is about 1 1/2 hours.. Not bad, but wish it was longer.. I will be ordering a second battery at some point. Files worked just fine with my Corel Video Studio X5 for editing and movie making. Will be taking some skiing video on a cloudy...

The high definition files take up a LOT of space, but on Mac, Quicktime converts them to manageable formats in just a couple minutes. No more long rendering times. In fact, when I Export the file in Quicktime, it takes a four minute video about 3 minutes to render for Wi-Fi, and it goes from nearly a gig to 11 Mb. There are choices above and below in quality as well. Good zoom, great mic, not the best at dark settings, but OK. The still picture function is pretty good, too. 8Mb pics, my facebook border looks good taken from this still camera. Lots of extra functions. I like this little camera, I hope it lasts a long time. |
