Remember the Essentials

Recording media is not included, be prepared - always carry extra media.

When it comes to consumer video, the Sony HDR-CX360E 32GB Flash Memory PAL Camcorder is out to compete for your affection. It not only gives you full 1920 x 1080 high-definition recording, it lets you choose between 50p/50i and the more cinematic 25p, for a variety of shooting styles. Equipped with 32GB of internal flash memory that holds over 2.5 hours of the highest-quality footage, the CX360E also offers a slot for SD/SDHC/SDXC or Memory Stick media.

At the heart of this mid-level gem is the back-illuminated 'Exmor R' CMOS sensor, which is capable of producing clear, colorful video and stills even under low-light conditions. Helping you make the most of the sensor are a wide-angle Sony G lens with 12x optical zoom, 3" touch screen LCD, and Active SteadyShot stabilization to keep your images from getting too shaky. Meanwhile, shooting controls such as Intelligent Auto take the guesswork out of recording, making your life easier by automatically determining the right combination of settings for the scene before you.

When not using the camera's excellent built-in surround-sound microphone, you can record your own top-quality audio with an optional external microphone--easily monitored via the camera's headphone jack. Other great features include an Active Interface Shoe to mount the mic or other accessories; Tracking Focus, which gives you the ability to keep selected objects in focus; a built-in USB cable; and built-in flash and LED video light. No matter how you look at it, the CX360E is about to become your new best friend!

1920 x 1080 Full HD 50p/25p Recording with 7MP Still Image
The Sony HDR-CX360E offers 1920 x 1080 high definition resolution, letting you record your memories in exceptional Full High Definition quality. Capable of 50p recording and playback via HDMI and compatible HDTV, it provides stunning clarity and incredibly detailed playback of your memories. If you're looking for a film-like quality to your video, 25p recording is also available for you.
32GB Embedded Flash Memory for Up to 13 Hours of Recording
The built-in 32GB embedded Flash memory can record and store up to 13 hours of high definition video footage (HD LP mode).
Wide Angle G Lens to Capture Everything You Want
Experience the pinnacle of Sony lens technology with the professional-quality G Lens. Engineered for superior optical performance, Sony G lenses deliver brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, amazingly detailed images. In addition, the 27.4mm focal length in Photo Mode and 29.8mm in Video Mode offers a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle shooting.
Back-Illuminated 'Exmor R' CMOS Sensor for Superb Low-Light Video
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 "Exmor R" 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.
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting. In addition, innovative 3-Way Shake-Canceling adds electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture.
3.0" Touch Screen Clear Photo LCD Plus Display 230K
The 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus display provides exceptional viewing clarity with 230K pixels resolution. The display rotates up to 270° for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. The convenient touch panel allows easy access to menus and additional functionality such as spot focus and spot metering.
Tracking Focus Follows Selected Subjects
Tracking Focus works as an extension of Face Detection to allow you to select an object with a touch of the LCD and have the focus follow the selected object.
17x Extended Zoom to Get Even Closer to the Action
Extended Zoom works in conjunction with 12x optical zoom to get even closer to the action while maintaining HD image quality.
Expanded Recording/Monitoring with Mic/Headphone Jacks
Features dedicated mic and headphone inputs for expanded audio recording options and convenient monitoring of audio with headphones (external microphones and headphones sold separately).
5.1 Channel Surround Mic for Vivid and Dynamic Surround Sound
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording.
Wind Noise Reduction for Clear Voice Recording
Wind Reduction reduces noise and interference that is produced when wind passes over the microphone, giving you a clearer and more enjoyable sound experience.
Highlight Playback Creates Movies with Transitions for You
Why spend hours editing your movies when you can let your camcorder do it for you? Highlight Playback identifies and compiles key scenes into a short, entertaining movie complete with music and transitions. You can even pinpoint the exact scene you want to include in the highlight reel.
Active Interface Shoe to Attach Intelligent Accessories
The Active Interface Shoe lets you mount Intelligent Accessories, such as external lights and microphones, which can help extend the capabilities of your camcorder.
Event Browse Groups Photos and Videos for Reference
Event Browse conveniently groups your images and videos together for easier viewing. The date range that Event Browse groups your pictures and videos is easily adjusted to suit your needs. When used with the Highlight Playback feature, making and sharing a highlight reel from your event is easy and fun.
Direct Copy to External HDD without PC
Store your memories in a whole new way with the ability to copy videos from your camcorder directly to an external hard disk drive (sold separately), all without a computer. Your camcorder can also access videos stored on the external hard drive for playback on your HDTV, allowing you to utilize the camcorder's handy playback features.
Clear Phase Stereo Speakers for True and Dynamic Sound
Bring your video alive with Clear Phase stereo speakers. Drawing on Sony's high-end audio expertise, renowned S-Master digital amplifier technology is utilized to produce more true-to-life sound.
Golf Shot
Building on the slow-motion capture capabilities of Smooth Slow Record, Golf Shot captures a few seconds of motion as a sequence of up to 22 still images, which can be viewed/printed individually or as a composite "sequence shot" image, perfect for analyzing the nuances of a golf swing, tennis serve, and other fast action.
