Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-SR82 1MP 60GB Hard Disk Drive Handycam Camcorder with 25x Optical Zoom (Handycam Station Included)
Digital camera Review: Good Camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice product from Sony. Easy to use.I've been using Sony products especially for CamcordersDigital camera Review: Excellent Quality - but still big and bulky
Summary: 2 Stars
I really like the product and the output, but I wish the software was more helpful with the burning DVDs, making movies, and uploading smaller files. The files are HUGE. If you have the time, this is a good product. But it takes forever to do anything.Digital camera Review: Great camera, easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera mostly for home movies, and after doing extensive research on camcorders. First was the decision of going to Hard-drive over DVD or Tape. The ease of downloading videos to your computer, plus the fact that it's the way most camcorders are going to be heading in the near future made this almost a no-brainer. Then was the question about which model to buy. I chose the SR82 over the SR42 and SR62 because of the extra storage capacity, and the improved resolution over the SR42. The video resolution for the SR82 is good enough for most televisions. If you want HD video, you will need to spend at least $200 or $300 more for an "entry-level" HD camera. I'm not too worried about the 1MP still photos because, let's be honest, I'm not planning to use this camera to take pictures! I have a digital camera for that, which has better resolution, low-light performance and options than a camcorder will ever have for taking pictures. Plus, it has a flash, which camcorders usually don't have (unless you're willing to add an accessory shoe and external light).
Picture quality as I mentioned is pretty good, even in low-light, and the camera is very intuitive and easy to use right out of the box. Downloading to a computer was a breeze too. Do get however an extra battery, since the one it comes with usually runs out pretty fast
Digital camera Review: Great Camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
I just picked this camera up a few days ago and boy is it great. Easy to use right out of the box. Have not purchased a Sony Camcorder in years but I needed a new one. Not having to pop in a tape or a disk is great. I was a little worried about not having enough space on the hard drive in the camera for enough recording time but the 60GB drive gives you plenty of room. I just plug the Camcorder via USB into the computer push one button and it's on a DVD. The picture quality is outstanding and the camera itself is incredibly light and small. Love this camera!!! The only down side is the camera does not have a view finder. You really don't need it as the LCD screen is better. If you are like me and like managing your media on a home computer then this is the camera for you.
