Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Sony MiniDV Camcorfder
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought it to use to playback MiniDVs of old home movies. It does an excellent job. I have also taken it on several international vacations to supplement my digital camera where there are action scenes such as dancing. It has worked very well, even in low light at night to capture folk dancing in a riverboat on the Rhine.Digital camera Review: Sony dcr-hc52
Summary: 1 Stars
This camcorder is not compatible with a usb cable so you cannot put video onto the internet. Unfortunetly this is why I bought the camera so I wasted my money.Digital camera Review: Super Grainy
Summary: 3 Stars
This camera is really grainy. It makes me mad that I bought this camera with a ton of extras the seller forced upon me, and I don't think its a very worth it camera. Why by a MiniDV 480p camera when you could get a better, HD camera for more or less?Digital camera Review: Very Nice, Simple, Every Day Camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this several days ago to replace a Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 (dead firewire port) that I had been using for about 4 years.
And of course this was THE ONLY cam I could find anywhere with i.LINK. I did not want a cam with USB.
It works the same as the old cam, but much better quality & zooming. Pictures are clear. Does everything I want/need it too. Sadly there is no remote control though.
Some of us like to set up the cam on a tripod & record from a distance, where zooming in & out with a remote is required. But, ohh well.
I cannot comment on the battery, as I run the camera directly from it's AC adapter.
I also do not use the mini cassettes, because I stream video directly into my iMac or MacBookPro.
For $250 I got a decent little cam.
No special bells or whistles, but I really was not looking for that.
This is perfect for home use & short videos to be published online.
Digital camera Review: Very user friendly
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my daughter to shoot video with her friends. It is very easy to use and thus far has had no negative issues. It has features exactly as described by Amazon and the price was right for us. This is an upgrade from our last Sony DCR-HC. Handycams from Sony have always been "handy" for us!
