Great Handycam and Camera

Strengths: Dual Purpose - High Resolution Video and 4MP Still Picture Camera with Face deduction Compact and light Weight, Comfortable fit. Easy to create DVDs using provided PMB ( Picture Motion Browser)

Weakness: Missing Shoulder Strap, ViewFinder

This HDD Handycam is very compact and lightweight to operate. 1/5" CMOS Sensor and Bionz Image Processing provides higher resolution than standard handycams which are 1/6" CMOS. Face deduction technology is a good advantage. 15x optical zoom is reasonable one and good resolution at higher zoom. Using Nightshot mode to record at low light or dark is very good feature. Quick ON features enables...

DCR-SR220 handycam

Strengths: 60GB hard drive, excellent still pictures at 4MP. Turns an fast and easy to use. Night vision feature is cool.

Weakness: Original Battery does not last long, additional battery is must. Charging on camera is not prefferable, need seperate charger. 15X optical zoom is OK but more would have been better

This is my first digital handycam (I had VHS camcorder since 1994). I can use this as still camera as well (no need to carry another still camera). 60GB HD should go long way for me. I purchased memory Stick for Still pictures easy transfer. Overall I am satisfied with this.

An Excellent Camcorder

Strengths: It is small and highly portable

Weakness: Need a spare battery and travel battery charger? They are expensive.

The most cool features is it took a good video at night when I operated it according to the manu. As a hard drive one, it will save you money for miniDV tape. The other good news is the price of hard driver is getting low. Don't expect it can work as well as camera when you use it to take photos

A Good Camera

Strengths: Excellent Camera with lot of features

Weakness: Price

This is an excellent camcorder with quite a number of features. The only constraint is the price which is high unless you find a deal somewhere. Between HD version and this is just around 200 dollars. So far found no problems and had been working flawlessly.

Nice camcorder

Strengths: Good job in the dark environment, nice picture!

Weakness: Really need a separate battery

I recorded several good parts, especially in the dark environment. I hope it will do a great job in the delivery time of my wife.
