5 out of 5 stars Great camcorder. MiniDV makes a lot of sense   December 31, 2008
Great value! If you want great picture quality just less than HD, miniDV is the format. Think again about your priorities before buying a non-HD DVD or HDD camcorder as MPEG formats are lesser than miniDV in pic qty besides their other limitations.
*** The dcr hc-52 is widely available in stores. But look at hc-62 specs(much better resolution) and spend $50 more to get a much better product.
Put a filter over, yr lens will benefit a lot.



1 out of 5 stars Absolute garbage!!!   December 6, 2008
  1 out of 3 found this review helpful

This camcorder makes me sick! I got it in october and used it for a few weeks and it worked well. But three weeks after ive been using it it started to get these gray bars across the screen so I contacted sony(there tech support is a joke they should be ashamed!)and sony said to reset it so I reset it and it didn't work so I contacted sony again and they said that it was a faulty camera. So I sent it back and I got a new one.You won't believe this! It started having the same problem so I called sony AGAIN and they told me absolute rubbish an didn't even tell me anything I could do to fix it!!!! So this time I took it back to the store and bought a JVC Everio GZ-MG330 and it is better than this piece of garbage by a long shot! In my opinion if you want a camera that doesn't last long and even if you take it back and get a new one and it still breaks this piece of trash is for you! p.s I used to be a sony fan but this awful piece of trash and their HORENDOUS costomer service made me change my mind. I am no longer a sony fan.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect home movie camera.   November 14, 2008
Love this camera for both home movies and still photos. With a 1 gig card it holds over 2k images on high quality. The battery life is excellent, although I still recommend a second battery. The video quality is outstanding for home movies, on board mic pics up sounds great.
I would suggest a case to put this in, as well as extra battery, and plenty of tapes. It has replaced both my digital camera and old camcorder.

A wonderful buy for anyone shooting home video and more.



4 out of 5 stars great value   September 22, 2008
Really great camcorder for the price. Good vid quality, nightshot for low light. Has a nifty time-lapse mode that can let an entire day pass in a few minutes. The only real down side, IMO, is the lack of a mic input jack.


3 out of 5 stars solid camcorder, picture quality just OK   September 22, 2008

This camera is easy to use, the battery lasts long enough but I was expecting a better quality picture. I have used it for about 2 weeks, shooting about 60minutes of film. For the price I think it is a good buy. The zoom is great!
