Much lauded by Sony for its active image stabilisation system, the new HDR-CX520 allows you to film while walking without any jerkiness in the shot.

Other benefits include great sensitivity at low light levels, thanks to the Exmor R sensor.

We tested this new Full HD camcorder that records straight to its 64 GB of flash moemory instead of a hard drive, which represents something of a trend in the marketplace at the end of 2009.
