Sony HDRCX6 Camcorder Professional Reviews:

• tech.co.uk Reviewed the Sony HDRCX6 Camcorder and gave out”The CX6 is great to look at and has all the functionality that you expect from Sony. The footage we shot was without compromise, although the HD footage didn’t have the ’shine’ we were expecting. At this price point, though, Sony has delivered a great cam”

Sony HDRCX6 Camcorder Review

By Mr. J. E. Willson (UK)
I bit the bullet after studying which HD Camcorder would suit best.I have a Vaio Notebook and PS3 so it seemed a good idea to go for this cam.
I have had several camcorders over the years,including the Canon XL2.I thought nothing would surprise me,but I am overwhelmed by the high quality that this cam delivers.I have never witnessed such sharp and vibrant video…and the colours are the most natural I have ever seen!!!
Buy one!

I can’t wait to get out and about and start filming with the superb camera (just waiting for my case to arrive) - from what I have filmed so far (using the highest quality settings) the quality is spot on with images as sharp and clear as ones you’d expect to see from a TV documentary, I do agree with other reviews that the low light quality is a bit grainy but if you set the exposure to manual and tweak the settings you can reduce this to an acceptable level. The quality in good light is brilliant, you can zoom in and see an incredible amount of detail - I tried zooming into our carpet (just to experiment and you could see the fine fibres that you can’t even see with your naked eye.

On highest quality the battery provided gives you and estimated 108mins - which exceeded what I expected - the 4Mb memory card provided gives you about 31mins. Obviously there are numerous options to turn down the quality to give you many more minutes if you don’t require the high resolution in your shots.

The stills are good too but perhaps not as good as an actual dedicated 6.1Mb digital camera. If you zoom in to a picture on the computer after transfer you can’t zoom too far before you start to see the some amount of graininess (since you are magnifying the image) - but for taking snaps it does the job and if your bothered about high res stills then maybe getting a separate dedicated digital camera would be advised.

I have not played around with the software much but it appears to be comprehensive and easy to use - I transferred some material and rendered it as a HD DIVX and the quality on playback was top notch.

The actual camera looks great and looks very robust, the screen is very clear and the night mode includes an infra-red light so if you want to film in the total dark you can!
