Loyal Sony Customer,

– lens cover is manual
– camcorder automatically turns on when screen is opened
– buttons/controls are in the same place as my previous handycam
– camcorder is surprisingly slim and light
– video is extremely clear (outside is better than inside but both are so clear you feel like you are in the video)
– no wind noise can be heard in the play back of the video
– camcorder has a threaded receiver for tripod
– USB cable (about 3″ long) is built in and slides into the strap when not being used
I have to say, “I love Sony.” Having owned a handycam before, I immediately felt comfortable operating the CX190. My previous handycam was not an HD camcorder so the video shot with this camcorder is unbelievable especially compared to my SD camcorder. The indoor and low light video is not as clear as video shot outside in the sunlight but the video is still very clear.
I am very impressed with this camcorder. It is smaller than my previous handycam, takes much clearer video, and was less expensive. I don’t have any complaints. I didn’t want a touch screen and the memory card was cheaper than internal storage.
You want regret purchasing Sony HDR-CX190
