I was looking for a simple camcorder yet powerful enough for me to film the first moments of my child to be born these days. This is exactly what the HDR-cx130e allows, and put a crazy price. The Image Stabilizer is effective enough and zooming is really powerful.
By cons, a remark intended to Amazon.com: This camcorder has no internal memory (as opposed to 16 go advertised). For the internal memory we should head for the HDR-cx160e model (or it is cheaper to take the HDR-cx130e with a card 16 or 32 go ...)
