The versatile controls for various recording formats and cameras make sharing and sophisticated post-processing easier. Countless features turn all your recordings into a delight for everyone.

Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ for steadier images

Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ reduces blurriness and shakes that often occur when zooming or recording while walking, resulting in clearer, more stable images.

5.1-channel surround sound brings memories to life

An integrated microphone captures film sound in a way that sounds particularly impressive when played through a home entertainment system. The levels for each channel can be easily controlled on the LCD display.

Rank 3 out of 18Stiftung Warentest18 Camcorder: Neue Camcorder 2015ReleaseJanuary 2016

Der Sony HDR-PJ620 ist nicht so vielseitig wie die Konkurrenz auf den ersten beiden Plätzen im Test, hier erreicht der Camcorder lediglich ein durchschnittliches Ergebnis. Auf der anderen Seite ist auch die Qualität von Videos und Fotos etwas schwächer, diese bewegen sich hier dennoch auf einem guten Niveau...

Auch wenn der Sony deutlich günstiger ist als der Testsieger von Panasonic ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis hier mäßiger. Dies liegt zum einen am Rauschverhalten, das beim Sony schlechter ausfällt und zum anderen auch an der umständlichen Bedienung. Fast alle Einstellungen müssen hier via Touchscreen erfolgen. Die Tonqualität ist allerdings ebenso gut wie die Bildstabilisierung.
