HD Sony Handycam Review - Sony HDR-CX290 Camcorder Unboxing and Review

This video features an unboxing, demonstration of it in action, including a section that highlights its 50x extended zoom capability, and a section that shows its auto focus issues in real world conditions.

This video was made to do a Sony Handycam Review for the Sony HDR-CX290 YouTube Camera or YouTube Camcorder.

Content in those sections involves flight footage of the E-Flite Carbon Cub SS, Parkzone FW-190, Parkzone F4U-1A Corsair, E-Flite UMX Radian, and Mount Baker Volcano.

Here are the Handycam Review Notes:

Cons
- It goes blurry unless in tight on subject
- Could be better in low light conditions
- Does not have an external mic capability

Pros
- Has an outstanding zoom
- Decent battery life and sound
