Sony
Camcorders
Sony is among the largest camcorder manufacturers in the world. As such, it offers a wide variety of options at all points in the price range, and in most media-types. In general terms, Sony tends to focus on ease of use. It popularized touch screen controls, and often leads in cutting edge features (like Smile Detection) that are carried over from its still photo camera line. Sony is sometimes accused of holding back on advanced manual controls that experienced owners might like, but it remains a popular brand.
