My dad likes it!June 11, 2010 Irina(VA) I got this camcorder as a gift for my father. He is an amateur in video, so I wanted a camera to be easy in use.
My father says he likes this SONY video camera very much. It has a really powerful zoom, and its video is good when recording both inside and outside. He understands the camera tools with easy.
Before writing this review I asked my father if he had any dissapointments with the camcorder. He said no, and he said he would not like to get any other camcorder. He likes this one!
Not Macintosh friendlyFebruary 24, 2010 P. Wilson 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a friend of mine's new camera. He is not real computer literate. So he asked me to get the video out of it so he could show some of it on YouTube and the like. And with my Mac I had done this several other times with other video cameras. But this camera is horrible with a Mac. I downloaded the manual and it does not help either. I Googled the internet and saw ALL the steps to do it. And I am getting it done now but it takes FOREVER and FOREVER.... I will not do do it with this camera again.
This is the ONLY info I have on this camera, since I did NOT shoot with it. The downloaded manual did not help me at all and to use with a Mac is ridiculous!
In My Humble Opinion
Outstanding ProductDecember 23, 2009 Darrell William House(Reno, NV) Easy to use. I bought a refurbished one but it looks brand new and works great! I'm very happy with this purchase.
Good camcorderDecember 5, 2009 Nelda C. Gillilan(Rockwall, TX USA) I really like the size of this camcorder, plus the fact that it goes directly to the DVD. The one thing I dislike is that the lens cover does not automatically open and shut. I have had mine one year now and the lens cover will not close at all. You need to be sure that the small DVD's will work in your DVD player also.
Piece of Junk you will regret owningDecember 1, 2009 H. L. Cross(Nashville, TN) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
what a piece of crap. this coming from a lifetime sony handycam user. There is a glitch that interferes with camera during playback on camera that always ends in the disaster of loosing all your footage.. has error message Movie recording diabled. Ruins the disc and all videos magically dissappear from camera. Sony's website and support nor any website can accureately tell me how to stop it from doing this. so annoying. Just lost great footage I will never get back of baby 1st and my m.i.l lost her whole hawaii trip. Worst handy cam ever I highly recommend getting the dcr-sr45. so much better. totally plug and play and has awesome software and you can upload videos online or to facebook. if this were my camera and not my mother in laws I would throw it in the trash. Pics that it takes look worse than my first cellphone camera. I think this camera confuses itself due to card inputs and disc drive. Don't believe me???Google message movie recording disabled
