Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Nice camcorder - but not top of the line
I bought this camcorder after doing some research online and am pleased with the video quality and the ease of use. As one reviewer stated, I was hoping for the video quality to be perfect but it will never be unless I am willing to shell out $1500 for a top of the line camcorder.
All in all, the camcorder is small, easy to use, and can go everywhere with me. The camcorder does take night shots but they do come out a haunted greenish color - but in complete darkness I can still get video - what more can I ask for. The controls are simple and the instructions even easier. I hate computers but installing the software was simple and quick. I can download everything in about 2 minutes and burn right to a CD. The battery life is great - my battery lasts about 1:30 mins. Not having a viewfinder was strange, but have not had any trouble with it. I can see the video in the bright sun and in the darkness.
The camcorder does what it says it will do which is record video. If you really want a camcorder/camera - this might not be the tool for you. I would recommend this to someone who wants a nice camcorder that will not force you to buy tapes, DVDs, or memory cards. 20 hours of recording is plenty of time for most people and if you need more, transfer it to your computer and you are set to go again.Sony DCR-SR45 30GB Hard Drive Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom + See Full Customer Review |  |
