Sony T500 Review
With our son turning a year old in a few weeks (already!), I thought it was time for us to get a video camera. I wanted something that is capable of high definition and was pretty small.
Sony T500
As all Sony products go, this camera exudes style. However its beauty is equally matched by its features, and form. It comes in a small 97 x 59.3 x 21.4mm form factor, and weighs just 155gm.
