Sony HDR-XR520E

A powerhouse release from 2009, the Sony HDR-XR520E sits near the pinnacle of Sony’s hard drive camcorder lineup with a colossal 240GB internal storage capacity. That is enough room to capture nearly 100 hours of 1080i high-definition footage, giving you complete freedom on long trips or shoots without swapping media.

It was among the earliest models to feature Sony's acclaimed back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, providing noticeably cleaner low-light footage than its predecessors. The 12x optical zoom Sony G lens is backed by Active Mode Optical SteadyShot for remarkably smooth handheld walking shots, complemented by a sharp 3.2-inch rotating touchscreen, an electronic viewfinder, and infrared NightShot. It suits travel vloggers, event videographers, and creators who want substantial storage and capable low-light recording in a classic form factor.

All cameras are meticulously tested 3 times before being put up for sale. A 4th and final testing will be done prior to shipping out.
