  • Massive storage capacity, good manual control placement, optical viewfinder.
  • Tricky user interface, heavy, short battery life, unremarkable HD video performance.
  • The HDR-XR520V is a solid HD camcorder, with lots of storage, and good manual controls. But the image quality is unremarkable—it’s fine, but there are other camcorders that produce better-looking movies. ...

  • First-rate video quality and performance; geotagging videos is fun, if limited.
  • Annoying menu system; no wind filter; no manual shutter-speed, iris, or audio controls; relatively big and heavy; expensive.
  • Though their geotagging capabilities are mostly novelty and their interfaces could use a complete overhaul, the top-notch video quality, performance, and consumer-friendly feature sets of the Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V and HDR-XR520V make them worthy cam...

  • Abstract:  The Sony HDR-XR520V (MSRP $1499.99) is a camcorder that will please some, disappoint others, and make still others feel a little wary. Sure, most camcorders cant please every kind of user, but the XR520 is particularly divisive: its viewfinder and con...

  • Excellent low light performance. Great LCD resolution and size. Cam Control dial makes shooting easier. ...
  • Inconsistent bright light performance. Limited manual controls compared to competition. Heavy and pricey. ...
  • At the end of our journey with the Sony HDR-XR520V, we were conflicted, as if we had just watched Terms of Endearment and couldn’t discern between joy and sorrow anymore. The HDR-XR520V is one of those camcorders that nails a few key features home a...

  • Good video quality, excellent stills mode, 240GB hard drive
  • Video quality slightly below Canon HF S10, depressingly unaffordable
  • The Sony HDR-XR520 is a rock-solid HDD video camera that improves on its predecessors in nearly every way. On the other hand, it’s unlikely that many consumers will be able to afford it at its current price point. ...
