Sony Handycam HDR-XR100
$750.00
Released March, 2009
The Pros:Form factor is noticeably smaller than previous Sony models. Intuitive menu layout via touchscreen. Video indexing option is very convenient, especially face recognition indexing.
The Cons:Image quality tends to display shaking. Lacks optical viewfinder, many comparable models have this. Low-light recording leads to noticeable noise.

It is designed with a 2.7" touch LCD screen that rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles. The HDR-XR100 includes a professional Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens for 10x optical and 120x digital zoom. It utilizes advanced recording technology including Sony's SteadyShot image stabilization, Smile Shutter, and face detection technology. The HDR-XR100 also records audio in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and has a built-in zoom microphone for realistic sound. The camcorder differs from Sony's Handycam HDR-XR200V since it has a smaller hard drive and lacks the Navteq map-based GPS feature that comes with the HDR-XR200V.
