I got this knowing Sony and how they make good products, but this just isn’t good enough to match some of the better standard def camcorders like from Canon, and certanly is NO competition compared to the really good high def cams out today. This camera’s video quality is probably the worst i’ve seen on a standard def cam.
The picture is very soft and the colors are very washed-out and under saturated. It does have a 60 gig hard drive, but it’s video quality isn’t worth it. Even on HQ mode picture still looks terrible. One extremely bad down grade from Sony’s previous DCR-SR models is a smaller CCD. Instead of the usual 1/6″ CCD, Sony decides to make it smaller and change it to a 1/8″ CCD. They also claim that its an “ADVANCED HAD CCD” which supposedly gets you better video quality out of smaller CCDs, but to me, I see no difference. In low light, this thing is useless! If you go into a dim lit room the only thing you will see is pitch black and little pixels dancing around on the screen. The menues on this camera are hard to navigate through. Just to turn on one function is really a hassel. To tell you the truth, the only reason this camera sells for $250+ is because it has the name Sony on it. If it had the name Aiptek on it, but with all the same specs, it would sell for about $70. This is not the best camera to get.
This is compact enough to carry around and at the same time big enough to get a good grip.
The 60 GB HDD is enough as I download the videos often.
The clarity is amazing in outdoors as well as indoors and even at night.
The only thing I do not like is, the LCD must be used all the times!
Touch screen works well….even my 4 yr old can operate this on his own
Zoom is excellent!
Haven’t had the time to totally check out in true life exp. yet but have used it bird watching and it is working very well. love the fact that you can switch between still and movie at the touch of a button. The zoom works very well also. Can’t wait to take a trip where I can really take advantage of all it’s features.
I was greatly pleased with this camera/It was like new!! It arrived her with in 3 days of ordering. Love Amazon!! This Seller was Great!!
The movie option on this camera is easy to use and the quality of the movie is great but use another digital camera for your pictures because the still pictures come out grainy.
