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 small camcorder
Summary: 4 Stars
Pro: Intuitive, very easy to use. Small size and easy to carry around. Plenty of storage space.
Con: the default color setting is a bit yellow, perhaps can be adjusted but do not have the time to do it yet.
Digital camera Review: Good, inexpensive family camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
We chose this camcorder over the others because there is enough memory to record an entire birthday party or ball game, and it was definitely better than our 3-year old dv cassette recorder - smaller, longer recording time and better picture, and easier to use. There are better products out there, but for those who want the most bang out of their buck for recording family events, this is a good choice.Digital camera Review: Good camera for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned this camera for about 4 months and have shot hours of video with it. It's a good little camera for it's price. The video quality is great at all telephoto distances (that I have found). The audio quality is good with exception of wind. My only two complaints about the camera are 1) it shakiness on zoom (even on a tripod); it has a stabilizer but it is not effective on close-ups, and 2)editing the video is all but impossible. The software that comes with it does not have any editing capability. It shoots in MPEG-2 format and I had to purchase a very expensive software editing package to be able to make edited movies. If you shoot raw footage - the camera is great. If you want to make Windows Movie Maker videos, it won't work. There are ways to get around this, but it takes quite a while.Digital camera Review: Excellent Camera for a Mac User
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Mac user and the reviews initially for the Sony cameras and Macs were not to flattering. What really swung my vote to get one was iMovie 08. Finally the camera was compatible with a Mac using this software. The camera itself is amazing with great resolution and superb features. The touch screen is easy to use and the ability to zoom comes in very handy. Low light conditions are good if you don't mind a little grainy video. The IR light does a good job of picking things up that are close. I have used this to record family events as well as record meetings. I am extremely please with this camera and what it does. My only complaint is that my wife doesn't want to share it with me at times because she is having fun recording the kids with it. Oh well. Digital camera Review: Good value for the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sony has a great deal with this 60GB hard drive camcorder. Good features, easy to use with docking station included. One-touch DVD burn option available via docking station and included video processing software. Camera is light, has touchscreen LCD display and is easy to figure out. Downside: Good stereo sound, but microphone picks up wind noise quickly.
