Camera Sizing Chart »


This compact, light weight camera is a great fit for anyone looking to jump into the sport of filming hunts. A three inch LCD screen and functions like Track Focus (you touch an image on the screen and it stays in focus as long as it is in the shot) and Optical Steadyshot (compensates for the camera shaking) give the Sony HDR-CX560V a lot of benefits for its size. It also has a manual focus knob to help you to start honing your skills, but you can switch back and forth to make it fit any filming situation. The CX560V’s 64GB of internal flash memory mean that it is ready for filming right out of the box, but it also leaves you the option to add more memory with SD cards or Sony’s Memory Stick Pro.
