The Sony HDR-XR200V, unveiled in the 1st quarter of 2009, is a 120GB, 1/5-inch 2.3-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor model which holds a 15x zoom lens with a handful of enhancements like GPS for geotagging and an optical stabilizer for better compensation for video taking while walking, functions normally found on its higher end siblings, the Sony HDR-XR500V and the Sony HDR-XR520V and most notably, a smaller size.

Also made available early last year, the Sony HDR-XR500 series sports two hard disk based AVCHD equipment, the Sony HDR-XR500V and the Sony HDR-XR520V. These two pieces of kit have cutting edge attributes like built-in GPS and the new|all-new|brand new|new-fangled|novel|cutting edge|avantgarde|breakthrough|progressive|radical|state of the art|unconventional} Exmor-R back-illuminated CMOS sensor. It also owns an bettered SteadyShot image stabilization system and a solid feature set.

The Sony HDR-XR500V holds a 120GB drive while the Sony HDR-XR520V features a 240GB drive. Despite having a full set of features, these models are loaded with a pretty big price tag. For the price you would be forking out, one would expect to have alot more prosumer attributes and not simply a full set of consumer attributes.
