Two new great handy cameras have been released by Sony. Welcome the CX520V and the CX500V. The greatest thing about these two cams is that they are flash memory-based devices. They also come with HD capability making them very reliable in capturing images with 1920 x 1080-pixels of video at 6-fps. It can also capture 12-megapixel still shots. These new Sony handycams also have two new features that they can be really proud of. They both have “Face Touch”, which allows the user to touch a face on-screen and adjustments on the settings and focus will be automatically done by the camera. The other new feature is the so-called upconversion. From 1080i the signal will be converted to 1080p each time you connect the camera to an HDTV through HDMI.

Improved image stabilization, 12x G-series zoom lens, GPS geotagging of clips and photos, and expandable memory are also features that both handycams have in common.

As for their differences, the high-capacity CX520VE comes with 64GB of internal memory, which is equivalent to about 24 hours of 1080i video. On the other hand, the CX500V has 32GB. Another big difference is the price. As the higher capacity phone, the CX520V sells for $1,300 while the CX500V sells for $1100.
