HC14e.......2005-04-19
I have this camera and there are a few things that dissapoint, it is a good camera but a few things let it down. One being the software, as you can see from the other reviews, its shocking. The next is the still photo capture, it lets you take still photos... theres a designated button to take them, but you cant retrieve them from the camera!!! If you can its not obvious for normal users. Very very dissapointing. Also, when i bought the camera i was expecting the choice to use a memory stick with it, i find using the tape a big dissapointment, I know i should have realised this before i bought but why they make digi camcorders with tapes I really dont understand when the technology is easily available to use a stick. Apart from that I agree with all the other reviews, its a good quality entry level camcorder.
Great.......2005-02-14
the colour and sound are really great after watching it on TV. I was really impressed with the nightshot ability built into the camera. Its a really brilliant buy but you must make sure you get some tapes too if you order.
I was however really dissapointed with the software, its restrictive in what you can do. The software instructions manual isnt too clear or in depth either. Its a shame it really lets the camera down. I still gave it 5 stars because the actual camera was much more than I expected in quality and extras. you can clearly see that a great deal of thought and time has gone into the production of it.

Great camera, easy to use, very light, very good looking. Be warned though software that comes with it is rubbish (probably not even that good)
sony DCR-HC14E review.......2005-01-22
This is the first camcorder that I have purchased and bought after reading other amazon reviews, I wanted something that would not 'date' too quickly and was quite easy to use, prior to our first baby being born. Well she is now here and the camera has provided an excellent record of her first couple of weeks, my only complaint (and it is something that I am not doing correctly) is that I am unable to show the date on the screen when playing back and transferring onto tape, shame because with the baby that was quite important to us! so if anyone has worked out how to do this please let me know!
Great camcorder, rubbish software.......2004-12-11
As others have already said, an excellent camera that does everything most people would desire. Easy to pick up and use straight away but with a lot of extra functions that I doubt will get much use.
The software however is shocking. It just freezes when trying to use Firewire (Sonys iLink), you can use the USB cable but the quality is less. It's not easy to just burn straight video to DVD and the manual is just as bad. It will then interfere with any other movie software until it's removed. Better still, don't even install it.
The camera still deserves 5 stars though, just budget a few more quid for Nero etc.
