Sony HDR-XR520V is priced as low as $1,248.00 at Buy.com (July 14th, 2009).
Check out the sample video from Sony HDR-XR520V below.
ISO of the raw AVCHD files is also available here.
Sony HDR-XR520V features:
- 1920×1080 HD video recording
- 12.1 MP still image capture
- 240GB hard disk drive
- 1/2.88″ Exmor R CMOS sensor
- Geotagging support with built-in GPS receiver
One of the first consumer grade High-Definition AVCHD camcorders with GPS receiver that I have ever played with. Another feature I really like about Sony camcorders is the NightShot capability which is practically absent from other brands. Sony HDR-XR520V is also capable to record up to 240 fps.
Smooth Slow Record:
The Smooth Slow Record mode increases the record rate from 60 frames per second (fps) to 240 fps, allowing you to capture 3 seconds of fast motion and play the video back in 12 seconds. This is a great tool for analyzing a golf swing or a viewing a bird in flight. In addition, you record an audio track to narrate the video footage.
I only have a short time to play with this camcorder, I found the on-screen menu is a little bit less intuitive. Overall I like this camcorder, the sticker price is a little bit high.

That was one run-on-sentence.
Darren is wrapping up on editing and mastering the CD and it should be out sometimes late Spring or early Summer 2009.

I’m still waiting for Darren to give a go for the video, and it will be posted on YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace, and many other places.
UPDATE: I’m posting it anyway!
In the meantime, you can get Darren Carter’s “Shadyside”:
