Sony Handycam HDR-XR350V Camcorder Review

The Handycam HDR-XR350V is a mid-range HD camcorder from Sony that offers solid video performance, but is low on manual controls. The $999 price tag of the HDR-XR350V may sound steep, but a lot of that cost goes into the 160GB hard drive that is built...

The biggest downside of the HDR-XR350V is its $999 price tag, which is a good amount higher than the competition. The Panasonic HDC-HS60, which includes a slightly smaller hard drive (120GB), but did just as well on our performance testing as the...

almost everything

wish it had bigger lens and viewfinder

It's a maybe

First time user of a camcorder. I recently bought this camcorder and took it on a trip. In picture mode, the quality isn't the greatest. I get better results from my SE 3.2mb pixel camera phone. I thought the stabilization feature would be great for...

Great Picture Great value

The picture on this camcorder is amazing. I have an 2 year old Sony LCD and the TV switches inputs automatically when I plug in and the remot on the camcorder makes it easy to sit back and enjoy. Too many features to talk about but this camera is the...

You Get A Lot, But Well Worth The Price.

If you are in the market for a new cam-corder then I would highly recommend that you enlist a person that has a lot of knowledge in this department. I have no knowledge on how to properly pick one of these out. It has been so long since I had purchased...

Picture quality and ease of use after you learn how to use

Sound quality is really poor through camera
