Conclusion: The Sony Handycam HDR-CX520V is a good, but not great camcorder. You’ll be happy with its video output, yet much less so with still photos, which are of strictly average...
Pros: Compact, lightweight, Full AVCHD video, 64GB onboard memory, 12x optical zoom, Excellent OIS system and sound
Cons: Expensive, Flash stills fine, poor unless enough light, LCD should be better, No electronic viewfinder
