 Excelente Cámara! August 24, 2010

La compré después de dar de baja mi anterior Handycam Sony, inicialmente mi decisión se basó en la grata experiencia que tengo usando productos SONY, sin embargo poco después de hacer la compra me inquietaron ciertos comentarios bastante negativos respecto a la cámara. No perdí la calma y esperé pacientemente a tenerla en mis manos y probarla y una vez que sucedió puedo dar fé de que es una excelente cámara, que podría ser mejor... seguramente pero si es lo que necesitas entonces deberías optar por una cámara semi o profesional.
Excelente imagen en condiciones optimas, la imagen va desmejorando en condiciones de poca luz pero tampoco es un facotr determinante, la imagen sigie siendo buena, lo que si me extraña es el sistema de estabilizacion de imagen que en versiones más antiguas era evidentemente superior, por otro lado no posee una interfaz para conectar con un tripode con control remoto y tampoco trae control remoto, detalles que pudo haber tomado en cuenta el fabricante, por lo demás una muy buena camara, la transferencia de imagenes y video es sencilla y rápida y el software con el que viene facilita mucho las búsquedas y archivo.
 Very disappointed August 21, 2010

I have owned a few Sony Handycams in the past and was always pleased with them, but this Handycam is awful. Of course the battery that comes with the camera only lasts about an hour before it needs to be recharged if you are using the camera a lot. The picture quality is awful, my Sony CCD-TRV118 Hi8 Handycam has better picture quality and more functions than the Sony DCR-SR68. The Sony DCR-SR68 doesn't even have a remote control, it's 2010 how about giving us something. I noticed when you use the telephoto on the Sony DCR-SR68 you can hear the motor when you play back what you have recorded. When I installed the software for the Sony DCR-SR68 on my computer it actually caused a lot of problems, my computer is fine now that I uninstalled the software. In my opinion the Sony DCR-SR68 is only good for use as a paperweight. I definitely wasted my money on this camcorder, I can't even get rid of it no one wants it.
Not what I expected June 14, 2010

I had been looking for a second video camera, one with a sizeable internal hard drive to store a lot of footage. I was partial to Sony, having purchased many Sony products over the years that gave good service. I did my homework and checked out reviews and Tech websites. Finally I settled on this camcorder. When it arrived, I was excited to test it out. I took some footage of my garden, about one minute. Then I downloaded the clip into my computer. Gasp! It didn't look crisp and clear. It looked hazy and fuzzy. To compare, I took a comparable video with my other camcorder and downloaded it into my computer. Much different. Better! Crisper! Clearer! What I had been used to. The second camera, let me say, is also a Sony, but one that uses mini-video-tape. I compared the size of the files downloaded on my computer, each roughly one minute long. Whereas the file from the old Sony was about 276 MB's, the file from the new camcorder was about 75 MB's, about one-fourth the size, more compressed. No wonder!! I called Sony, and registered my complaint. No comment or suggestion on how to improve performance. I called Vanns, the vendor, to arrange a return. The only good thing about the transaction was the great service from Vanns. A prompt refund. No questions asked. Of course, I had to pay the return postage. I saw some very glowing reviews on this product before I bought it. The only thing I can say is these people probably had nothing to compare the quality of the video to. Otherwise, I can't imagine how anyone can think that this is a camcorder that delivers high-quality or even decent-quality videos.
A $349.00 mistake! June 5, 2010

A $349.00 Mistake! Purchased the Sony DCR SR-68 Handycam new from Amazon and had the opportunity to record about one hour of video under a variety of indoor and outdoor conditions during a recent six week trip. Much of the video turned out to be of extremely poor quality due to a number of apparent engineering deficiencies including a puzzling inability to focus in other than ideal light conditions and when using the zoom feature, inadequate compensation for bright light resulting in washed out video, and the fact that the LCD display is virtually impossible to see when attempting to frame a shot in daylight conditions. The Handycam has no viewfinder so all video must be framed using the LCD display. Any type of action shot is extremely difficult if not impossible. It is simply not possible to maintain contact with the subject using the LCD display because of glare and reflection. The scene selection and delete features proved to be the most useful because of the large number of shots that were unusable. My 9 year old Sony Camcorder is a bit more cumbersome but takes better video and is much more user friendly.
 Great portability but small screen May 22, 2010

A very light and portable camera - truly purse size.
Very easy to use.
Only downside is the very small screen size.
