Wanted to replace my VHS-C camcorder with a more updated camera. After research, I picked the HDR-XR150. Loaded with features, but small enough to fit in pockets, fanny-packs,etc. Worked great for first communion and graduation footage. Battery runtime is great, would recommend upgrade for extended uses. Works well in low light, 25x zoom is awesome!! Need to learn all of the features yet, but easy enough for beginners to use. I also need to get a blu-ray player so I can take advantage of the HD. Easy to burn dvd’s with either computer or Sony DVDirect. Would highly recommend to those looking for a good family movie quality camcorder.

i ordered this product off Amazon around a year ago so i know its ups and downs quiet well, i used this camera for my multi-media classes to make short movies and advertisements, it was a great experience, the bottom line is the camera is great outdoors but needs alot of lighting indoors, just a few light bulbs won’t do the job of decent lighting, the camera’s zoom with 1080p is amazing, the best thing about this camera is the sound quality it records without attaching any attachments like a shotgun mic to it, i was extremely impressed with how clear the sound was as oppose to other brands, even when the person is pretty far it wasn’t a problem, it also have a zoom-mic option that can come in handy.
the main reason i gave it a 3/5 which is also the reason that gave me a really hard time shooting was it had no microphone jack, so i couldn’t install a boom mic or a shotgun mic or any type of mic that will give me smooth crystal clear sound. What also really annoyed me is you could ONLY install sony accessories because the way accessories were installed in the camera was different from other camera’s, i had alot of stuff i wanted to use with the camera that i didn’t simply because it won’t install on the camera.
having a camera with an HDD was a great idea, but out of every (approx) 50 video’s i recorded i had one that was corrupted and wouldn’t open. Not sure if its just my camera.

Review by A Roxette fan for Sony HDR-XR150 120GB High Definition HDD Handycam Camcorder

Sony XR-150 camcorder videos are mushy at the best, whatever the setting, be it in SD (640×480) or HD mode (1080/60i FX, FH)… I compared this camcorder’s HD video output with my 4-year old Fuji F30 digicam’s upscaled SD video (my Fuji digicam has only SD video resolution). Disappointingly, this camcorder produces mediocre HD videos that are soft and are only marginally better in resolution compared to the upscaled SD video of my Fuji digicam. The marginal improvement in resolution is offset by the oversmooth, soft, washed out appearance of this Sony XR-150 camcorder’s video colors. Exposure-wise and color-wise, the Fuji F30′s upscaled SD output looks sharper, and overall, much better despite the being much noisier.
Comparing Sony XR-150 camcorder’s SD output with my Fuji F30′s SD output, the F30 is a bit noisier but again, the color and exposure and sharpness and detail is way much better. I was expecting a really dramatic improvement considering the price of this camcorder and considering that we’re talking about 640×480 resolution (Fuji) vs. 1080/60i (Sony `HD’[?!!!] camcorder)… What a disappointment… I had to return this camcorder and stick to my Fuji F30′s SD video until I find a more deserving replacement. (I’m looking at the Canon Vixia HF100).
My advice: Don’t buy this camcorder if you want to improve on your digicam’s SD videos or the existing videos of your SD camcorders… The video quality improvement (if you’d call it that) is not worth the price of this `barely’ HD and ‘pretentiously’ ‘HD’ camcorder.

VERY NICE AND EASY TO HANDLE. THE TOUCH SCREEN IS A BIT TOO SMALL FOR MY OLD HANDS AND THE STILL PICTURES CAN OFTEN BE BLURY. OVERYALL, A GREAT CAMERA FOR THE PRICE.
