Stunning quality images.......2006-10-31
I bought this camera as my dad wanted a camcorder in the house. My brother, by no means a technical, took this on holiday and watching the footage back, the image quality was stunning. We played it back through our 40-inch lcd tv, and it looked great. I'd be intrigued to see how much better a true hd camcorder would look, as this was amazing. Great quality for the price.
Good & Bad.......2006-03-10
I must start by saying that this is my very first camcorder and I am by no means an expert.
For £400 this camera is a great buy. If your looking for a home vide camera to film the kids and the dog then this camera is capable of doing just that with great quality. It is compact, light and full of features.
Their are a few personal touches that I really liked such as the mechanisem of the tape draw opening and the cute little chime you hear as your tape is ejected, very clever.
So far as conveniance for video editing is concerned this camera is fantastic. As in the name it is a very handycam. Your supplied with loads of software and a camcorder docking station that connects to your PC via USB (simular to a laptop docking station).
I purchased this camera to use for amature productions, short films, by way of a hobby. I decided to go with a more affordable camera to start with so I could learn the very basics before looking into profesional cameras.
If your looking to use this camera in a simular way then I advise you to think again. It does not have an Audio In jack (and so you cant plug in a microphone) and it is not compatible with any remote control tripods as it dosn't have a jack for these either.
For an extra £125 (at the time of writing this) you can order the top of this range, the Sony DCRHC96E from Amazon. It does have Audio In and is compatable with remote control tripods and it also has three times the pixels at the cost of some of the zoom.
In conclusion this is a fantastic camera for the average user, absolutley remarkable. If your looking to go a little more technical and, like me, want a small camera to try your hand at amature filming before moving onto the more profesional models then go for the DCRHC96E (its a natural stepping stone).
