Sony Handycam HDR-CX760 Camcorder Review

Design

The Sony HDR-CX760V looks and feels nearly identical to the last Sony camcorder we reviewed, the HDR-PJ710V. But there are three key differences: the CX760V has no built-in projector on the back of its LCD panel, but it does have a built-in electronic viewfinder and three times as much internal memory as its sibling model. The lack of the built-in projector does make the CX760V a bit lighter and, as a result, easier to grip. It's not a huge difference by any means, but it is noticeable after spending a bit of time with both camcorders. The viewfinder on the HDR-CX760V doesn't have a spectacular design, but just the presence of a viewfinder on a consumer camcorder is worth recognition these days. And it certainly does help if you're shooting video on a bright, sunny day where the LCD is unusable due to glare.
