Product Survey: Camcorders

The XR500 is the new Rolls from Sony for filming in high definition. Its sensor has Exmor R CMOS technology that is supposed to improve sensitivity and the new G lens to give a better defined image. A marketing ploy or real technological advance? The XR500 is a FullHD camcorder that records onto a hard disk in AVCHD format. With a capacity of 120 GB, you can store up to 14 hours and 30 minutes of video. If this isn’t enough, the HDR-XR520 gives double this (240 GB). These dizzying figures are relative however when put alongside the fact that the battery supplied only gives autonomy of 45 minutes and must be recharged on the camera (like with the Canon). The XR500 is relatively heavy for its size. Part of the reason for this is the weight of the hard disk (the Canon HF S10 uses light & flash memory) and the casing is quite wide (6.5 centimetres). You’ll need to carry it in a little bag. All the same, the XR500 is very nice to use indeed. Firstly thanks to its large, high-quality LCD screen. At 8 centimetres and with a resolution of 921,000 pixels, it's a real pleasure to film with!
