Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-SR82 1MP 60GB Hard Disk Drive Handycam Camcorder with 25x Optical Zoom (Handycam Station Included)
Digital camera Review: Excellent value and easy to use...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very please with my video...I had spend weeks looking at sites for the best option, after a while I decided to buy this one...belive me you will not regret it is extremly EASY to use plus is more easy to down load what you tape...
My wife is also very excited about it, 'cause is easy to carry and easy to use. The OEM battery does not last more than 90 minutes, so if you are a heavy user you may want to buy the 6.5 spare battery, personaly I have not ever videorecorded more than 90 minutes...This guys at SONY realy are putting a lot of effort in making technology more friendly...
Digital camera Review: Almost as good as I expected...
Summary: 4 Stars
Like many, I looked for a replacement for my old Sony 8mm (tape) Camcorder for quite a while. I'm a fan of both the Sony label and the convenience of a hard drive camcorder, so the Sony DCR-SR82 camcorder seemed like a good choice.
Overall, this unit is not bad, but it's not nearly as good as I expected. The sound quality "out of the box" is only fair. The one taking the movies comes thru loud and clear should they make any noise while filming, but often those in the shot can't be heard that well. And as many have stated, the low light filming is OK, but rather grainy and washed of color.
Finally, I think it's ridiculous that Sony forces us to carry that docking station around and doesn't include the wall mounted battery charger as part of the package. I wound up spending an additional $100 between the higher capacity (3 hr.) battery and the wall charger unit.
Overall, I don't regret this purchase, but I'm glad my most important home movies (i.e., when my kids were growing up) were captured on my old Sony 8mm camcorder which delivered higher quality picture and sound, overall.
Digital camera Review: good picture

Summary: 4 Stars
received handycam very quickly and was happy with product. it was an early christmas gift for my husband and he loved it! it was the perfect size and had all the extras he was expecting.Digital camera Review: As usual with Sony, great design, construction and quality
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first Sony product purchase and all I can say is that this video camera is first rate. The night-shot infrared is awesome to use and I'm pleased with how well constructed and rugged this unit is. It was smaller than I had imagined and I was very pleased with how it performed on my yearly motorcycle tour.
Not having to change tapes is a blessing. I hooked the camera to my laptop nightly and exported the movies to it using the Sony transfer software. Fairly simple process and the 60gb of recording time is enough for an entire vacation. The battery lasts for 90 minutes and I combined a 12vdc/120vac inverter with the charger in my car to keep it topped off nicely. I do think the battery prices are a bit much for new batteries, but if you shop around, there are good deals to be had.
All in all, I give it 5 stars and have already purchased a couple of other Sony products on the basis of the quality and ease of use their products are known for.
Great videocam - buy it!
