In this post I'm going to introduce Sony HDR-CX220 provided by Sony.
My family members were impressed by the video quality. I was looking for good looking video on a budget, and this camera fit the bill perfectly. 1080/60p 2500mbps video looks great on my TV. There are more noticeable artifacts when I view the videos on my 24" computer monitor, but that's largely a result of the viewing distance. The videos look best on a TV screen with a little more distance between you and the screen. The motion is very smooth, similar to artificial smoothing that some TVs introduce, but instead of the TV inventing frames for artificial smoothing, this camera is actually capturing real frames to display more smoothly. I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-TX20 digital camera that also records 1080/60i video, and that video is noticeably less smooth and clear. The zoom on this camera is also great, though you will need a tripod or amazingly steady hands for maximum zoom. I record on the highest quality mode, which disables the ability to take still photos while recording. I was not very impressed by the quality of the still photos, so that's no big loss. The weakest area for the camera is low light quality, but its performance is still decent, especially considering the price. I love the built-in USB cord in the strap, charging and transferring videos is a breeze. Included HDMI cable is much appreciated! I recommend getting a large SD card (64GB) and an extended battery like the NP-FV70. With this setup I can record around 5 hours of max quality video without switching out the card or battery. The sound is adequate, but nothing worth writing home about. The camera is small enough that I can pretty easily fit it into most pockets, especially in a loose-ish jacket.
The best place to buy Sony HDR-CX220:
With Sony HDR-CX220 you get:
- 1920x1080 Full HD 60p with 8.9MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor

Create high definition 1920 x 1080 60p videos and high quality 8.9MP still images. Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the ExmorR CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.
