The Sony DCR-SR65 came out in 2008 with Sony’s bid to produce camcorders that are more compact. The DCR-SR65 launched together with the other Sony hard disk based camcorders, the DCR-SR45, DCR-SR85 and the DCR-SR220. The DCR-SR65 measures 3in X 4.4in X 3in (HxDxW) and weighs about 14.1 oz.

With a price range of $9,900 – $13,500, the Panasonic AG-HPX500 is a shoulder mounted high-definition camcorder from Panasonic that is nowhere in the cheap category but definitely packs a lot of features and many functions that are not available in any other camcorder in the market.
