At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, the Sony HDR-XR150 was introduced to the electronics market, and is one of the latest HD video cameras to be launched by one of the big brands in the business. The Sony HDR-XR150 is actually the successor of the Sony XR100 video cameras from 2009, and not only are they smaller than their precursor but they are also cheaper.
This new Sony HD video camera is equipped with 25x optical zooms, and it also has a hard drive with a space capacity of 120GB. Just as with many of the other video cameras that are made by Sony, this camera has a wide array of innovative features such as: Smooth Slow Record Mode, Intelligent Auto, Child Priority Tool, Steady Shot, Smile Shutter, Face Detection and Spot Focus.
In regards to the specifications of the Sony HDR-XR150 there are some similarities to other Sony digital cameras such as the Sony XR100; however, there are also some improvements. One such improvement is the expanded 25x optical zooms of the HDR-XR150, which is considered to be rather impressive for such a small video camera as other camcorders made by the brand has 15x optical zoom lens or even less. Additionally, this Sony Camera features SDHC/SD memory card support, as well as the Sony Memory Stick format. Therefore, you will always have approximately three recording formats that you can take advantage of.
The Sony HDR-XR150 is also considered to be one of the most compact HD video cameras that are currently available on the market. Although this digital camcorder is equipped with a hard drive of 120GB, it measures 57mm x 67mm x 114mm and it weighs approximately 300g. It you compare this model to other models of Sony video cameras such as the HDR-SR12E, you will feel as though the camcorder has shrunk significantly. As such, it is not very difficult to carry around for your convenience.
Not only does this HD camcorder feature the popular Sony BIONZ processing chip, but it also features the redesigned version of the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. In the AVCHD format, other models of Sony video cameras could only record 1080p videos at approximately 16Mbps; however, this camera is able to do the same type of recording at approximately 24Mbps.
When recording videos in the LP mode, the hard drive of the HDR-XR150 is able to store approximately 50 hours and 30 minutes of HD video; on the other hand, when the recording is done at its highest quality, this video camera can only store approximately 11 hours and 20 minutes of video. Furthermore, if you choose to, you can use standard definition to record your videos.
