Sony HDR-CX520V And HDR-CX500V Handycam Camcorders

Sony’s Handycam brand name has been given a boost with the introduction of a couple of new camcorders, the HDR-CX520V and HDR-CX500V. Both models are able to capture full HD resolution video, while stills are taken care of in the form of 12-megapixel photos. Depending on the model you choose, they will come with 32GB and 64GB of internal flash memory, respectively, where you will be able to store up to 25 hours of HD video in LP mode. All video recorded will be automatically converted to 60 progressive frames per second when connected to a compatible high-definition television for easy viewing on your eyes. In addition, the Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode boasts 3-Way Shake Canceling that further reduces hand shake in three directions – vertical, horizontal and the help of electronic image stabilization. You can pick up the HDR-CX500V and HDR-CX520V this September for around $1,100 and $1,300, respectively. [Press Release]
