Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-SR85 1MP 60GB Hard Drive Handycam Camcorder with 25x Optical Zoom

Digital camera Review: Great Video - weak camera
Summary: 4 Stars

Video camera is awesome. Still images are low quality. We bought it for video so it's perfect for our use.

Digital camera Review: Great camcorder
Summary: 4 Stars

For the Price this is a great camcorder. A lot better than the lower priced ones. Well worth the money for a first camcorder. But if your looking for one with a little more kick you will have to spend a little more.

Digital camera Review: Great camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great camcorder. Having the video written to disk is great. We've had DVD camcorders and watched an entire day's filming at WDW wasted when the DVD wasn't readable when we got back from vacation.

My wife likes using an eye view finder, but this camcorder does not have that. I have glasses so I've always opened it up and viewed it that way while filming. She also doesn't like the fact that you have to open the lens cap by hand, as it doesn't open automatically like our previous DVD camcorder.

We bought this particular model for the 25x Optical zoom, and that works great. The included software is awesome too.

Digital camera Review: Great camcorder at reasonable prie
Summary: 4 Stars

I tried the Sony DCR-SR47 at the local BestBuy and I did not like the quality that much. BestBuy has this Sony DCR-SR85 on clearance at $550 and I tried to play around for 5 minutes and it was a big difference. The SR85 has 10x better picture quality than SR47 with similar options. I believe SR47 has lesser pixel than this camcorder. You can compare them on Amazon site by site. I got this from JR at $349 and nobody could beat that price. It's great camcorder, looks exactly as newer model SR47,SR67, and SR87 but provides more picture quality. Quality does count instead of model year.

Digital camera Review: Great for the money
Summary: 5 Stars

Sony DCR-SR85 1MP 60GB Hard Drive Handycam Camcorder with 25x Optical Zoom

I have used this camera for 2 weeks now and it is amazing. For what I paid for it, it is totally worth it. You are looking for quality I suggest going for an HD camera but this one had a Hard drive which was a big plus for me. I was on a budget and I found this one cheap and it had a hard drive and it works for me. I am not a big video person but I bought it because our family has never owned a Camcorder but we have had digital cameras. I can't wait until our next vacation to use it!
