4.0 out of 5 stars Sony HDR-XR160 HD 1080p camcorder, May 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sony HDR-XR160 High-Definition Handycam Camcorder (Black) (Camera)
I got this product and partially happy with it compared with my Sony TRV-340 digital8 camcorder.

Something I want to point out:

Features: I don't like the battery release button because it is at the bottom of the camcorder. When using it with tripod, it is very difficult to change the battery if tripod adapter is used unless the adapter is small or using FV-100 battery to avoid the problem.

Sound: It captures the sound quality very good and much powerful if zoom mic is enable.

Picture: It is good enough in standard video and quite good in 1080p capture. If viewing on the LCD panel, video quality is quite good for both formats. However, video quality looks too much brightness when viewing in computer or DVD player.

Manual low light mode (3LUX): It is a big surprise to me it works so well. Without any zoom in or out, I captured a clear video from the bed room using the light from the bathroom (light source 40W was... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Camcorder, June 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sony HDR-XR160 High-Definition Handycam Camcorder (Black) (Camera)
This is a great camcorder. Did a lot of research on the camcorders and this was the newer version of another great camcorder. Do not need a memory card as all info can be saved to the hard drive then transferred to your computer. Another great feature is it has a usb cord in the hand strap so you can easily connect to your computer to download or charge the battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Video and Audio Quality in Outside in Bright Areas, June 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sony HDR-XR160 High-Definition Handycam Camcorder (Black) (Camera)
This camera has very good zoom. I can see stuff through this camera that I cant see in real life with my own eyes. The picture quality is very good outdoors but indoors its a little grainy even on the highest quality recording. The camera captures audio very well and colors well too. The menu is very simple and easy to use and the software that comes with it is nice too. The hard drive is really helpful because you dont have to buy expensive memory cards. The battery life is about an hour and 40 min on the highest quality recording and the hard drive holds 16 hours on the highest quality. The camera is also very light and looks great. Only downside is that its kind of expensive and you might be able to find a camera with similar features thats maybe $100 less.
