sony cx550

Brought this new handycam Sony lent to me last week during our trip to Miniloc Island at El Nido. It's the Sony HDR-CX550 that not only takes 1080 full HD videos but can also capture still images up to 12 megapixels. Sony HDR-CX550 1/2.88 type "Exmor R" CMOS Sensor Sony Lens G 10x Optical Zoom 　 120x Digital Zoom 12M pixels (4000x3000 pixels @ 4:3) still image 26.3mm wide angle Flash (built-in) 64GB internal Flash memory Here's a sample clip I recorded using the handycam putting into test the 10x optical zoom capabilities. The nice feature of the CX550 is that darker objects from afar becomes lighter when you zoom in close to it. The Sony CX550 retails for about Php81,990 in stores (that Flash storage sure does make this model a bit pricey than the previous ones I've tried). Sony finally lent me one of their limited Sony Vaio P to test out for a week. Sony has been taking it's time to get its own netbook out in the market and at the same time, criticizing other manufacturers for a mediocre product. Well, it looks like its own Sony Vaio Pocket netbook will be put to the test now that details have been leaked.
