Digital camera reviews of Sony DCRPC110 Digital HandyCam Camcorder with Builtin Digital Still Mode
Digital camera Review: Nice HandyCam
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this camcorder for 6 months now, and its worked like a charm. Very good picture quality, easy to use once you get the hang of it, very light weight. A Sony camcorder is definitely the best value for money. The camcorder battery runs out in around 90 minutes, but I have not yet run into a problem with that. You just get a 4MB memory stick with the camcorder. I had to upgrade to a 128MB memory stick, since I take a lot of still pictures. The photos when printed at 4 X 6 come out very well. Very easy to transfer the still pictures (and 60 second clips which is also recorded onto the memory stick) if your computer has a USB port.
I did not face any problems accessing the camcorder buttons as mentioned by some of the reviewers.
Digital camera Review: Nice, but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
I have no complaints except one: the digital pictures it takes are print quality but, the pixel could be greater for the amount of money you're paying for this. Since Sony has such advanced technologies, the least it could do was to incorporate their superior technology towards the digital picture function. More megapixels would've been better. Afterall, Sony does make good digital cameras, why didn't they combine the great features?Digital camera Review: PC-Orietned DV Camera
Summary: 4 Stars
The PC110 appears to be a slight re-working of the PC100 with the aim of making it a better still camera and integrating it more closely with Sony's other video imaging products. It takes true megapixel stills, and also will store very short MPEG videos on its memory stick card. Viewing these requires a PC.Unfortunately, the way this is implemented makes this device more like two cameras than one. You are either in "Memory" mode or "Camera" mode when recording, "Memory" mode or "VCR" mode when playing back. Stills and MPEG are transferred through the USB port, DV video through the FireWire. It all makes sense, when you realize that this camera does not consider MPEG to be a tape format. But it does take some time to get used to. And after you get used to it, you can move on to tricky little things like transferring small portions of your DV video onto the memory stick as MPEG etc. I think you can even transfer stills from memory stick to tape if you'd ever want to do that.
The message here is: this is the camera for people who want to do something with their images other than just watch them as is. It has a lot of features for in-camera editing and effects, though as has been pointed out in the editorial review, you can do this more easily on a PC than in the camera.
Finally, ignore the comments about the ergonomics. The author was holding the camera the wrong way. Your pinky should be nowhere near the focus or still photo controls. A closer reading of the manual and some experimentation would have put him straight.
Digital camera Review: Simply Irresistable
Summary: 5 Stars
From the moment I opened the box, it just took my breath away. Because this is the first digital camera that I bought above my price usual range, however, it is worth every penny. It is above my expectation. Sony finally has done a good job in putting so many features in this tiny machine. The only drawback is that I would reccomend everybody who would buy this camera is to buy larger memory stick (4k is just not enough to take your baby's pictures)Digital camera Review: The BEST camcorder that I ever had!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just Love it. The best camcorder for the travelers.Try to add 64MB memory card, 10H battery and filters for lens It's just great , the size, the quality, I just love it.
