With a large internal hard drive, wide-angle zoom lens, advanced image stabilisation and a built-in GPS sensor, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR350VE is rammed to its digital gills with powerful technology.
Multitasking is made easy with the HDR-XR350VE, which records both high-definition video and 7.1 megapixel photos.
At the heart of the HDR-XR350VE is a 1/4-inch Exmor R image sensor, which records 1080i high-definition video at a rate of 50 interlaced frames per second. The device's top-quality mode sets the video bit rate to 24Mbps, the highest rate currently possible under the AVCHD standard. In photo mode, the camera can snap stills at up to 7.1-megapixel quality.
The wide-angle (26.3mm for still, 29.8mm for video) Sony 'G' lens is very welcome, especially when it comes to landscape and group portrait situations. It has12x optical zoom. The large (160GB) internal hard disk -- capable of holding up to 67 hours of HD footage -- is another obvious boon.
Manual controls are all available via the HDR-XR350VE's on-screen menus rather than dedicated buttons or dials. The menus are navigated using touch controls and, though these can take a little getting used to, they soon become second nature. The 2.7-inch screen is just about large enough to sustain a fingertip-friendly user interface.
Manipulate the HDR-XR350VE's manual settings with your fingertips, via the 2.7-inch touchscreen.
Many of you are likely to leave the device in auto mode -- thankfully, the Handycam's automatic functions are well up to the task. The 'intelligent auto' system does a particularly good job of understanding and quickly adapting to different environments, situations and even people's faces. Sony's 'OSS active' image stabiliser, meanwhile, does an excellent job of keeping your shots steady.
Picture quality is of a very high standard. We took the HDR-XR350VE for a stroll among the autumn leaves and, at top quality, we were highly impressed by the bold, striking colours and remarkable level of detail. Even indoors, the Handycam performs well, bravely holding on to clarity and colours in the face of diminished natural light.
One slightly left-field feature of the HDR-XR350VE is its built-in GPS system. Why would you want a camcorder with its own sat-nav, we hear you ask? The main benefit is that you can add geo-positional data to all your recordings and photos, tagging your clips with the exact location of where you were when you recorded them. If you do plenty of travelling and want to share your voyages with others, this is a pretty cool extra.
