Summary: 5 Stars

A wonderful camera, small, compact, full of features. It takes great pictures but like all cameras, the images on an LCD viewfinder are hard to see in bright sunlight conditions. An additional optical viewfinder would be a good addition. I would recommend this camera.

Digital camera Review: Sony DCR-SR85
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased this model a few weeks ago and have been using it as I can. The one thing I'd read alot about was the viewfinder LCD screen can be hard to see out in the bright daylight and that is very true with it. It made the LCD Screen be just like a mirror. All I could see was my reflection. I emailed Sony and they suggested the back light should be turned on then. I haven't had another situation like that since so I'm anxious to try that and see if its any better. I did have one day that it was a little tough to see the viewfinder and I found that shading my eyes helped me see it better. I think video quality is very good. I tried the night setting and yes it might make things a bit greenish, but you can see so well. I would not recommend using it to take still photos. If you try to use it for that you are definitely going to need a tripod or monopod. The pictures were not that great at all. However, the more I'm using this camera, the more I like it! I think the software that came with it is pretty great. It hasn't been too hard to figure out, but then I've done a small amount of video editing with another program I use.. just minor stuff. I have ordered the SONY VRD-MC5 DVDirect® MC5 Multi-Function DVD Recorder which will allow me to Transfer home movies and digital pictures to DVD quickly and easily, without a PC. Connects with virtually any camcorder, VCR, DVR or digital camera. I'm very excited to try that out! All in All.. I'm very happy with this camcorder and I did a lot of research before finally deciding this one was the one!

Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this almost 2 years ago, and am extremely pleased with it. I got the larger battery, and the thing lasts forever. Storage space is phenomenal...I can't ever fill it up. Even when the sun is making the screen look like you're taking trash, the video still comes out great. The thing is simple to use and works well. The video always comes out great. The microphone also does a great job of picking up the sound. 2 years...still love it.
