Since brands camcorders start at around 200 euros, I quickly encountered the HDR-CX330 HD, since the choice of equipment are also quite manageable in the price range. (If you buy less, you buy twice. My personal opinion)
The device makes at first sight a solo Eden impression is well made, easy to handle (initially was surprised that so small), fits comfortably in your hand and can be operated easily. The picture quality is good for this price. They can be adjusted in four different quality levels. I got my date in the second highest level (battery life about 3Std20min with 32GB card with about identical maturity. I think that's pretty neat. The highest quality level is minimized but again the runtime considerably. Drawback there. One can there still images out work.
It comes with the small battery, HDMI cable, USB extension, USB power cable and user manual.
Longer shots but I have not yet made. Weaknesses of the camcorder in darker environments. Also can be connected an external microphone. But who is filming only now and then and not much emphasis also perfect HD images, is served better than me with the camera. Everyone else should then but look around in expensive Presissegmenten and buy there.
