Sony's entry-level HD video camera makes good in its promise of high definition footage but lacked some key features I thought should have been included. Let me share some of the footage and shots I got with the Sony HDR-XR100 Handycam. The lens  is a  Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar powered by 1/5" Exmor CMOS sensor with ClearVid array and has an effective resolution of 4-megapixel (this is the biggest resolution yet I've seen in a videocam). The exported clip has already degraded because the Sony software that came with it only allows for exporting into WMV or MPEG2 format. There's not a lot of physical buttons on the videocam because the controls are on the screen. On normal use, it takes about a whole day of use before it's totally depleted. The Sony HDR-XR100 is a pretty solid videocam. Sony sent in one of their newer entry-level HD camcorder () just in time for my planned road-trip this Holy Week. While I'm still testing it out on the road, check out the first few photos of Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 after the jump.
