Testurteil: "3.5 out of 5 stars"
Test: Einzeltest: Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V
Zitat: The good: + First-rate video quality and performance
+ geotagging videos is fun, if limited.
The bad: - Annoying menu system
- no wind filter
- no manual shutter-speed, iris, or audio controls
- relatively big and heavy
- expensive.
Though their geotagging capabilities are mostly novelty and their interfaces could use a complete overhaul, the top-notch video quality, performance, and consumer-friendly feature sets of the Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V and HDR-XR520V make them worthy camcorder options. Both are overpriced, but since 14 hours of recording time is plenty--especially if supplemented with flash media--the HDR-XR500V is the better deal of the two.
