Sony HDR-CX100 AVCHD HD Camcorder with Smile Shutter & 10x Optical Zoom (Black) Decide Now

I really like this camcorder because the image quality is great and it's sooooo easy to use. I love that the flip-out viewing screen is a touch screen and allows you to access the menus, etc.

What is disappointing is that you can't be closer than 6-7 feet away from your main subject or the focus is bad and/or you can't fit the whole person/object in the screen. This makes it difficult to get a good video if you're indoors in a small or medium sized room. Of course, Sony offers lens adapters and wide angle lenses (i.e.Sony VCL-DH0774 74mm 0.75x Wide Conversion lens for Sony DSC-H7/H9 Digital Still Cameras) for this camcorder that you can buy at an extra cost ($100-$200). I think they purposely designed the "standard" lens this way so you'd shell out the money to buy the extra equipment. I wish they'd just put a better standard lens on this thing.Get more detail about Sony HDR-CX100 AVCHD HD Camcorder with Smile Shutter & 10x Optical Zoom (Black).
