The good: The Sony Handycam HDR-CX360V is attractively designed, with an unusual and nice-feeling brown matte-plastic body. It delivers some unusual features, too, including GPS and built-in stereo speakers.
The bad: At its best, the video looks too soft and a bit noisier in low light than some competitors. Also, for its price, some people might expect more manual controls.
The bottom line: While it's a fine model, the Sony Handycam HDR-CX360V seems too expensive for the video quality and features it delivers.

Excellent all around HD camcorder.
by rompn4x on July 30, 2011
Pros: Recently shot some video in the early evening with one stree light available. Video has a considerable reduction in graininess compared to my HDR-SR11 that has a bigger 1/3 CMOS sensor.
Cons: No Night Shot! Why did sony pull this option from this camcorder?? I mean it has 1080P, GPS and a killer CMOS sensor. Ill give up the GPS geotagging for some night shot please!
Summary: I like it, I think finally I have a camcorder I can live with. My CX-150 is too basic, my HDR-SR11 is too big and bulky to carry around all ...
Summary: I like it, I think finally I have a camcorder I can live with. My CX-150 is too basic, my HDR-SR11 is too big and bulky to carry around all the time, this CX360V seems like the perfect balence.
