Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom

Digital camera Review: Review of Camcorder
Summary: 4 Stars

The camera seems to perform very well, so far. I've just learned how to use it; makes video recording easy - so far.

Digital camera Review: Shame on Sony
Summary: 3 Stars

I owned an older model DV Sony camera. It's too bad that the accesaries are not interchangable. I brought this camera with the hope of using the extra batteries I had from my old camera. Shame on Sony for not designing compatibility between the two designs. I think that corperate greed played a big part in the design of this cheaper version of my old camera.

Digital camera Review: Sony Camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars

Great simple product. Perfect for the grandparents or those wanting just to record quality video without all the bells and whistles.

Digital camera Review: Sony Camera
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this camera for my Uncle. I bought this video camera because it was the cheapest camera that used mini DV tapes. I am very happy with the purchase. The only thing I wish this camera had, is the ability to capture video or pictures on a SD card. The camcorder is very small and compact and seems to be very good quality. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap camcorder that has decent video quality.

Digital camera Review: Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV
Summary: 5 Stars

Item was straw purchase; I purchased it for someone else, a friend who has never chosen to use any form of credit card. But anyway, the camera works flawlessly in it's chosen use, filming skydiving students/customers while mounted on a helmet.

Only a little lack of info on Amazon site, but easily obtainable on Sony site was the lens size/thread pitch so a wide angle lens could be purchased. Overall, no complaints, camera and Amazon worked as expected.
