Sony HDR-CX150 Unbox

I have been using a Flip Ultra HD and have recorded lot's of videos for various websites.  However it's time to upgrade to a camera that can do close ups.  The Ultra HD is horrible at close up and is best at a good distance and when the camera isn't moving.  The Sony HDR-CX150 seemed like a good deal and when I tested close ups it was fantastic.

Here's the unbox video (not edited at all so all my mistakes are there)

Pictures - click on them to zoom in.

What I like:

• Great lens
• Great optical zoom
• Video out ports (RCA, mini HDMI)
• USB Interface - no drivers were needed
• SD Cards + Memory Sticks is a good deal.  Thank you Sony for coming to your senses
• Small form factor
• Swappable battery

What I don't like:

• Not easy to erase video clips - there's so many steps to take
• No external microphone in
• Default colors are a little blue - you can probably change it
• No remote

There are pros and cons but the picture quality and zoom is what I needed and the CX150 delivers.  Tune in later and check some pictures and videos recorded with the CX150.
