The good: Compact; lens focuses relatively fast.
The bad: Merely OK video quality; worse-than-expected lens flare problems in bright sunlight.

Sony Handycam HDR-CX150
by greenlex4 on November 15, 2010
Pros: The Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 can easily fit into the jackets pocket.
The Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) in CX-150 works well while recording.Cons: It is expensive and lacks features like the capability of capturing 3 megapixel images and the 25x zoom lens.
Summary: As compared to XR-150, the other two flash models are much better in terms of looks. If you have big hands then it will be easier to grip the camcorder. ...
Summary: As compared to XR-150, the other two flash models are much better in terms of looks. If you have big hands then it will be easier to grip the camcorder. As compared to ultra compact models, it really seems to be more effective while shooting below the eye level. It has improved as compared to CX-100 in terms of quality.
