Reviews & Research

CNET Editors' reviewGood

  • THE GOOD

    "Compact design; first-rate video quality and performance; geotagging videos is fun, if limited."

  • THE BAD

    "No SD card support; awkward control layout; no wind filter; no manual shutter speed, iris, or audio controls; expensive."

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    "The geotagging capability remains mostly a novelty, but the top-notch video quality of the Sony Handycam HDR-CX500V and HDR-CX520V make them worthy options. Because internal memory is overpriced, the HDR-XR500V is the better deal of the two, though you may want to opt for a 2010 model that supports SD cards rather than Sony's Memory Stick."

    Well built and solid camcorder

    Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

    Excellent Video/Photo quality. The best Handycam I ever owned from Sony. There are two disadvantages for this camcorder. It only accepts memory stick duo pro and it does not have the view finder.
