Tough Camcorder by Wilsteve on amazon.com May 23, 2012
I took videos of the South Texas soccer championships last weekend and during game 2 the camcorder got a direct hit by a soccer ball kicked offsides and knocked it senseless. It wouldn't focus after that. After hitting all the buttons I could think ...
 
Great camera by UnionHousewife on bestbuy.com Jun 23, 2012
I bought this camera to take with me on trips to the zoo or vacations and I love that it is very light and easy to use. The storage on the hard drive is great and having the usb cable attached is also nice

As a camcorder I would recomend this to anyone. The low still picture quality and lack of internal flash or light only take 1 egg away as the low light perfomance helps mitigate that.
 
Sony HDR-CX210 by kymagman on amazon.com Jun 26, 2012
Although this is our first camcorder, we were amazed at the clarity, ease of use and fun of this product. It's small size makes it convenient to take anywhere you go. It didn't come with a carry case but there are many available out there to chose from. I highly recommend this.
 
Better than I thought by Donger1220 on bestbuy.com May 28, 2012
This camera is so easy to use and it's also easy to get videos onto my Mac. When I'm ready to shoot, all I need to do is open the view finder and start shooting.

Video quality disappointing by Alan Davis on amazon.com Jul 6, 2012
I recently purchased this after reading the mostly great reviews of this camcorder, the Sony HDR-CX210. I love everything about it (price, size, weight, ease of use) but I am very disappointed with the video quality which to me, is the most important ...
 
Poor video quality unless in full sunlight by CodeMonkey001 on bestbuy.com Mar 13, 2012
I tried this camcorder in several different settings. When shooting outside in full sunlight, the video quality is great. I tried shooting inside in various levels of light (with the camcorder set to its highest quality settings) and I found that the ...
 
This camera is dissapointing compared to previous models by prtochi on amazon.com Mar 19, 2012
It's got a good sensor, Exmor R but that's about it. Compared to previous model HDR-CX110 this camera has many things that are actually much worse and a big downgrade. For once they have the same Exmor R sensor so low light is great. This one however ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Sony HDR-CX210 High Definition Handycam 5.3 MP Camcorder...
The camera is very light almost to the point of feeling kinda plasticky (like a TV remote.) I suppose it could be a good thing for some but I prefer my electronics to have a bit of weight to them...There is a switch to open/close the lens cover though which is good thing...The camera does a pretty good job of automatically switching between them (if you have that feature on) and generally looks good in them...
