    Well, I bought this wondering if I was going to like it or not. Verdict is in, I love it. Pictures are great, even while set on easy play. Night vision works very well. I bought filters and other equipment that makes this camera run great. If I can figure it out anyone can.

    Look, this is a great camera. I see the reviews that say that it’s a big problem that you can’t edit video on a Windows PC easily. My answer is get a Mac. Believe me, I’m not a Mac guy. I hate those “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” commercials. Apple is the new evil empire. This camera is the new way to get great video recorded and edited for you memories. I love it. Bought it from a pawn shop for $200 and I have never spent better money for what I will get. Go with Sony when possible, you will be happy.

    I was looking for a inexpensive camcorder with Night shot and stablization for our Paranormal investigation group. I also wanted a hard drive so we wouldn’t have to change DVD’s or tapes every hour. I found this display model SR45 for a little more then $200.00. I was really pleasently surprised by what I got.

    I found that I could record on HQ for almost 6 hours and on standard for over 10 hours. The night vision was perfect, and the cameras internal Mic picked up sound just as well as out top of the line olympus DVR. The FH100 battey powers the camera for 5 hours(battery was extra) When you attach the camera to a wall plug in, on a tripod, and with a large IR emitter you get the best night shot video I’ve ever seen. Later we transferred all the video’s to a DVD via a DVD burner….the group was very impressed. For an older model Camcorder we couldn’t have found anything better at 4 times the price.

    Its light , easy to handle, instructions are simple, easy to transferr videos, and you can also do videos or stills on the memorie card.

    If your looking for a low budger Video camera we recomend the SR45
