Sony HDRCX580V by Jason O Mcroberts on amazon.com Jul 9, 2012

I shoot video in various settings and for the money this camcorder does amazing. With or without an external mic this camera does a very good job at picking up sound even in windy outdoor situations. I believe the only way you could get better quality ...

Delivered everything expected by Molt_llest on amazon.com Jun 2, 2012

I bought the camera for two main reasons: I wanted a wide lens camera to be able to tape my kids at home, which mean from a close range, and I wanted a good shaking stabilizer. The camera delivered both things greatly. Also, it is small, image quality ...

Why I Chose the Sony Handycam HDR-PJ580V by Tim on amazon.com Jun 16, 2012

Overall, I am very happy with my latest purchase of the Sony Handycam HDR-PJ580V. I've had it for just under one month, have made two completed FCPX projects and am working on the third. After looking at several camera brands and models, it came down ...

Great Camera by Bernie D. Tull Jr. on amazon.com May 13, 2012

I have had this camera about 2 months and have not found a single thing wrong with it. I am a semi-pro photographer filming and photographing weddings, parties. style shows and many other things. I just finished a weeding where this Sony HDR-CX580V worked ...

Lots of family fun by Aimless Wanderer on amazon.com May 17, 2012

This camera takes excellent pictures and video. We love that we can use the built in projector to shine on the wall and share our videos when out and about.

A step backward for Sony. by sdd_84 on amazon.com May 15, 2012

I had this for 2 Months and I have to say the picture quality is Great as long as there is bright lighting. In dim (Indoor) conditions the quality gets very grainy, almost unusable. Sony should have went with a bigger sensor for the price this year. Last ...

Very poor low light. by David Weaver on amazon.com May 15, 2012

The low light quality on this camcorder is very poor, indoor with normal lighting gets grainy fast. Sony took away alot of the features compared to last years model the CX560v. I would not recommend this to anyone..

Camcorder is fine/Support software is useless by P. Anderson on amazon.com Apr 28, 2012

I'll cut right to the problem. The internal 32Gb of flash memory will hold around 4 hours of video (at high quality). After that you will want to put your videos on disc to make room. You have two choices. Either buy a dedicated disc burner, or install ...

HUGE Disappointment by Grateful Fred on amazon.com May 8, 2012

I'll make it short...the Lumix FZ150 camera I'm stuck with shoots better video than this for half the price. Furthermore, max file size for continous shooting is only 2 gigs. So if you shoot an hour and a half set, or play...you end up with multiple ...

NO EVF AS ADVERTISED ON AMAZON by Jonathon "Jonathon" on amazon.com Mar 6, 2012

I'm going to keep this review simple because my only intent here is to advise potential buyers that as of this review, Amazon is showing this model with a EVF (Electronic View Finder). It does NOT have a EVF. While it has its own internal memory, it ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Sony HDRPJ580V High Definition Handycam 20.4 MP Camcorder...

Our wall is painted a medium brown color and it still looked good...Sound is pretty much what you'd expect from a pair of small speakers, sort of tinny, but it was pretty loud and definitely good enough to sit around and listen to our home movies...I played the video in both windows media player and in the Home Memories software and both looked really good! Overall my initial impressions are very good...
