Product Survey: Camcorders

Hard drives are progressively disappearing from camcorders to make way for flash memory, and the Sony HDR-CX520 is a perfect example of the trend. It has a 12 Megapixel CMOS sensor and 64 GB of internal memory. There's no doubt that switching to flash memory reduces the physical size of a camcorder. The CX520, with its attractive dark grey body, is smaller and lighter than its hard drive-based predecessors like the HDR-XR500. You don't need to waste time reading the manual either, as it works as soon as you take it out of the box: the camcorder even switches itself on automatically when you open out the screen. All that's left is pressing the red button to start recording onto the internal memory and zooming, if you wish. Speaking of which, the 12x zoom takes centre stage with a well-placed control that gives you plenty of room for manoeuvre. That's because the zoom control adapts gradually to how hard you're pressing it, without any of the jerky movements or sudden leaps found on other camcorders. In short, if you only need the basics, the CX520 is a simple, solid camcorder. That isn't true when you venture into the touchscreen interface though.
