Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-SR42 30GB Hard Disk Drive Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: GREAT QUALITY, GREAT INVESTMENT!
Summary: 5 Stars
i have bought about 3 camcorders in the past. And always the same disappointment... bad quality.. bad battery... bad way of transfering video to computer to dvd because of format issues..etc..but This tiny Sony is perfect! it has all i wanted! Although the quality of the snap shots is not great...the quality of the video and sound are pefect! and the touch screen feature..gotta love it!
Digital camera Review: Good Handycam
Summary: 4 Stars
Merits:
1. It's a Sony! (Brand value).
2. Compact and light-weight.
3. Carl Zeiss lens.
4. hard disk memory, easy to transfer to computer.
5. I got the refurbished one from sonystyle.com for 300 bucks. Thats pretty cheap for a 40x zoom HDD camcorder from sony.
6. Motion picture quality is good.
Demerits:
1. Does not have a view finder.
2. The Still picture quality is not that great (As indicated by others too).
3. Does not have a neck strap (Or any provision for that).
4. You need the camcorder dock to charge as well as transfer movies into Computer.
5. The bundled video editor doe not have much functionality. Only you can cut a video, i could not find any option to merge several videos into one.
Overall i like this camcorder, i will buy some video editing software to work on the videos a bit.
Digital camera Review: Good camcorder with rough power adaptor
Summary: 4 Stars
The camcorder is easy to use and produces video with good quality. Its size is small enough to be carried around conveniently during travel. However, one thing compromises the size and quality of the camcorder: the AC power adaptor. I do not like its big size and rough quality compared with the camcorder itself. Why Sony cannot make it smaller and better? I have to carry it along with camcorder to make sure I could charge anytime, but its size makes this inconvenient.Digital camera Review: Good for beginners...
Summary: 4 Stars
Considering the price, function, and manipulation, it is good for beginners. But for advanced users, I would suggest higher level mini camcorder.Digital camera Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a good product, it lives up to Sony's brand image. It's very compact. It's easy to carry. Good quality video is being captured...
