Video Quality Test of Sony DCR-SX22E against Sony HDR-CX260VE, Nikon Coolpix 120L or Nokia Pureview 808 clearly reveal that video made through Nikon Coolpix 120L or Nokia Pureview 808 has better quality and bright colours. But, Video from Sony DCR-SX22E and Sony HDR-CX260VE has better audio qualities and ultra portability. We can record video easily at maximum zoom of Sony HDR-CX260VE or Sony DCR-SX22E. 

Our Review

Positive Point : 

This camera is very light with the battery. It has ease of controls, even though its with a joystick but it can be better to have 3 inch Touch LCD screen (Like Sony DCR-SX45E). The display of this handycam can be rotated 180 degrees vertically. It has provision to set it up on a tripod. The audio quality of video shot by Sony DCR-SX22E is satisfactory. 

Negative Point

The zoom of Sony DCR-SX22E is good but at the extremes the video gets very shaky. The clarity of video is good but the videos look slightly faded. It requires proper lighting at dark conditions. This camcorder does not charge of USB cable therefore charging and data transfers do not occur simultaneously. The ports for USB is in the inside at LCD display area, hence the LCD screen of this camcorder has to keep the display open while data transfers through USB Port.

Overall it is great product for price and gives better result for this price product. (Entry level Handycam)

Nikon Coolpix S9100 Review

Nikon Coolpix S9100 is the latest addition to its Coolpix range. The 12.1-megapixel camera carries all the goodies from its predecessor S8100 but the addition of 18x optical zoom is what makes it class apart. Such zooming capability is something found only in bulky shooters but Nikon has managed to pack it in a portable pocket friendly device. The addition of CMOS sensor promises to retain god image quality in low light conditions ass well. Nikon Coolpix S9100 price in India is Rs.18,950. 

The 3-inch, 920k-dot rear-mounted display of S9100 gives you great satisfaction and pleasure when viewing images or HD videos. The Nikkor ED glass lens combined with 19 scene and 7 shooting modes to choose from, produces highly detailed and razor sharp pictures. When you choose the night portrait, night landscape or backlighting shooting mode several shots are taken one after the other with varying sensitivity and shutter speed to minimize the effect of low light and noise. These shots are combined to produce high quality final image.

Where the Nikon Coolpix S9100 can capture thousand of high quality still images its video recording is no exception. Just with a touch of a button you can record HD videos at 1080p with stereo sound recording ticking at 30fps. The increased zooming and auto focus features will take you even closer to the happenings. You can take still pictures when recording a video and also add fast forwarding and slow mo effects. Other features and specifications include:

·                     Easy Panorama mode to automatically detect, combine and assemble photos in one panoramic shot while  you turn  the camera in any direction

·                     The Motion Detection feature to identify moving objects and automatically adjust shutter speed and ISO to take sharp and blur free pictures.

·                     1050mah battery capable of shooting 270 images.

·                     Macro shooting mode for capturing from as close as 1.6 inches.

·                     Best Shot Selector to automatically capture ten images and save the best one.

·                     Dimensions of approx. 104.8 x 62.0 x 34.6 mm

·                     Weighs approx. 214g .

·                     Digital Zoom up to 4x.

·                     Support for SD memory card.

·                     Available in three different colors; red, black, silver, and golden.

Nikon’s S9100 has retained the features of its predecessor but the boosting up the zoom from 10x to 18x while keeping the camera still slim, is a great move from Nikon. The camera is expected to hit the markets any time from now.
