After research, I took the HDR-XR150. Loaded with features, but small enough to fit in pockets, fanny-packs, etc. It worked great for first communion and graduation pictures. Battery life is good, you should upgrade to the long-term use. Works well in low light, 25x zoom is fantastic! Need to learn all the features yet, but easy enough for novices to use. I also have to get a blu-ray player, so you can take advantage of high resolution. Easy to burn DVD with equipment or Sony DVDirect. I recommend those looking for a quality camcorder good family movie. 53 of 69 people found this review helpful. I can not believe this is an 'HD' camcorder! For a fan of Roxette Sony XR-150 video camera are soft at best, whatever the definition, in both SD (640x480) mode or HD (1080/60i FX, FH) .. I compared the production of this video camera with HD video resolution enhanced my 4 year old Fuji F30 digital camera SD (my Fuji digital camera only has SD resolution video). Unfortunately, this HD camcorder produces mediocre videos that are soft and have slightly better resolution compared to the upscaled SD video from my digital camera Fuji. The marginal improvement in resolution is offset by oversmooth soft, the colors seem washed this video XR-150 Sony camcorder. Exposure-wise and color-wise, output upscaled SD Fuji F30 is sharper and, in general, much better, although it is much noisier. Comparing Sony XR-150 SD camcorder out with my Fuji F30 output is SD, F30 is a little high, but once again, and the color screen and the clarity and detail is much better. I really expected a dramatic improvement considering the price of this camcorder, and the fact that we are talking about a resolution of 640x480 (Fuji) vs. 1080/60i (Sony's HD camcorder'[?!!!]) ... What a disappointment ... I had the camera and stick back to my Fuji F30's SD video to me a more deserving place. (I look at the Canon Vixia HF100). My advice: Do not buy this camcorder if you have your SD digital video or existing video from your SD camcorder to improve ... The video quality (if you could call it) not the price of these "almost" HD and "pretentious" 'HD' camcorders worth. --------- Update: August 8, 2010 I just bought the Canon Vixia HF M300 and all I can say is ... Wow! What a world of difference in sharpness and resolution! Now that HD! This Sony set automatic settings without manual handling therefore, while the Canon is fully customizable with manual controls (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, gain control, etc.). While I admit that the standard point-and-shoot settings (Program AE mode) output Canon seems remarkably noisy (noise trailing horrible), but more detailed in the program this Sony camcorder AE mode (clean, but mushy and smooth with few details left is not suitable for the name "HD"), the possibility of the Canon manual settings to adjust and adapt these two camcorders set a world apart. With the right manual / custom settings for the Canon cost $ 110.18 ($ 438.82 versus $ 549 for Canon to Sony) that Sony late in the dust. With Canon, you will see what should be HD (sharpness and resolution that rival Blu-Ray and HD channels). If you do not want to learn and play with manual controls, however, and just want to point and shoot, then I recommend only the most expensive of Sony as much as I hate to admit, the Sony program AE settings looks cleaner (but not retail) in interior lighting as the default settings of the Canon AE I can describe the program as described, but too noisy for my taste (not to say that the Canon is able to perform with the manual settings is just simply spectacular both in sunshine.
