Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-HC96 MiniDV 3.3MP Digital Handycam Camcorder + Accessory Kit

Digital camera Review: Accessory Kit is a waste of money- DON'T BUY
Summary: 1 Stars

We thought the kit would be a great addition to the camera but it's cheap. All the items don't fit in the bag - too small to hold anything but the camera itself. More importantly, the rechargable battery does not work with the Sony camera we bought. It was part of the combined Amazon offer (Sony DCR-HC96 MiniDV 3.3MP Digital Handycam Camcorder + Accessory kit). When the time came for us to use it well it didn't work and of course it was past the 30 day return policy. Very disappointing.

Summary of Sony DCR-HC96 MiniDV 3.3MP Digital Handycam Camcorder + Accessory Kit

The DCR-HC96 from Sony gives you a full-featured, compact MiniDV camcorder at an affordable price. Highlights include the Advanced HAD CCD imager, which captures stunning detail and clarity, and 10x optical zoom with Super SteadyShot picture stabilization, which focuses on distant subjects, providing clear close-up images with less distortion. The Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens offers less glare and increased contrast for vivid, more life-like color and tones.

Make your personal videos complete with additional customization features such as Picture and Fader effects for creative and professional looking enhancements. Picture Package software helps you easily organize and edit still images and video. +PLUS+ ACCESSORY KIT: - Additional Lithium-Ion Battery - 3 MiniDV Cassettes - Camcorder Carrying Case - LCD Screen Protectors - Cleaning Kit - Mini Tripod
