## Description

Create high definition 1920 x 1080 60p videos and high quality 8.9MP still images. Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the ExmorR CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.

Review: Get the 80, not the 90, big differences! - Whatever you do, don't buy the KDR-CX90 - that minor model number change will leave you disappointed in lost features. The 80 is the way to go, I thought the higher number mean better, and ended up returning it for this one. Great camera! A few differences in 80 NOT in 90: mic input, touch screen, auto-opening lens cover, and overall quality.
Review: I LOVE this camcorder! - I've been using a Mini-DV tape-based Panasonic PV-GS31 for quite a few years - it has stood up to some punishment and served me well. After a pretty thorough evaluation, I opted to replace it with the Sony HDR-CX380. Wow! I love this camcorder. Here's why: Likes: Weighs next to nothing. Fits into a pocket. Incredibly easy to use. Great feature set, from the built in USB cable to the touch screen, menu structure, external mike jack, auto lens cover, etc. At 8.9 Meg, the still shots are great - on a recent trip I left my SLR at home and really did not miss it! True HD, though having bought it I discovered that iMovie and the version of Final Cut Express I had could not process full HD (1920 by 1080). However, with the direct HDMI connection, I can view full HD, and dropping down to 1080i does not seem to lose much in the way of resolution. Dislikes: Really none. I wonder if it will last as long as my old Panasonic - does not feel as solid, but I plan on treating it with the respect it deserves. Bottom line - I'm still not sure about the debate over using a good SLR for video as well as stills. For me, a dedicated (and ultra light) camcorder seems to make sense and works great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, FANTASTIC quality.. Software is so so
*by S***B on December 22, 2013*

SO be ware, just like pretty much any sony product, it records in a proprietary format. You can use the included software to turn it into an MP4 and then edit easier. It's annoying but not the end of the world. I bought this specifically because it has an external microphone input. If you go to youtube and search for 'supercircuits' you'll see my hands. Most of those demo videos were taken with this camera and an external mic I also bought on amazon. Video quality is great. Also, nifty feature: the usb cable is built INTO the hand strap!
