Very Nice, Simple, Every Day Camcorder
I purchased this several days ago to replace a Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 (dead firewire port) that I had been using for about 4 years.
And of course this was THE ONLY cam I could find anywhere with i.LINK. I did not want a cam with USB.
It works the same as the old cam, but much better quality & zooming. Pictures are clear. Does everything I want/need it too. Sadly there is no remote control though.
Some of us like to set up the cam on a tripod & record from a distance, where zooming in & out with a remote is required. But, ohh well.
I cannot comment on the battery, as I run the camera directly from it's AC adapter.
I also do not use the mini cassettes, because I stream video directly into my iMac or MacBookPro.
For $250 I got a decent little cam.
No special bells or whistles, but I really was not looking for that.
This is perfect for home use & short videos to be published online.

Cannot find firewire.....
My biggest complaint is that I cannot find a firewire to purchase so I can view the recordings on my computer. I even looked for it on Samsung's website store and got nowhere. Watching my granddaughter on the little screen attached to the camera is the pits. I will not purchase another Samsung camcorder.

would be better with standard 1394 cable
I love the picture quality. i love that you can transfer videos if you have 1394 cable and card... but what if you don't have either one.. I would have been happier if they supplied the 1394 cable with the camcorder... The biggest advantage of the the mini-DV ... you are not dependent on a hard drive (which for all it's convenience is still a less reliable media when compared to a DV tape or DVD. The picture quality is very good.. I had a DCR HC20.. was very happy with it.. got the DCR hc52.. it had more zoom.. but they completely eliminated the USB.. which was kind of Bizarre.. but it's Sony and they like to be proprietary retained the firewire.. Would have loved it even more if they could find a way to attach a flash.. but I knew about these minor drawbacks even before I bought... and went ahead all the same 'cos i loved the picture quality with my dcrhc 20.. so far the hc52 has been as good as anticipated

noisiest camera I ever owned
I have had 3 Sony Camcorders, including two mini-dv handhelds. None of them make the noise this one does. I bought it as an extra camera to record some of my psychotherapy sessions, but the motor is so loud I cannot use it. I could hear it from across the room of my office. Maybe I just have a dud. Sony has always been a good brand and I am going to try one of their solid state media low end cameras instead. At least then it should not be noisy. The video quality seemed ok - about what I would expect. I would not recommend it.

no sound on WMP
Movies play on other media players but on Windows Media Player there is no sound. I called Sony and they said that it was "Microsoft's problem", but I disagree, it is their CUSTOMER'S PROBLEM and they refused to help. Stay clear of this quirky pos.

Sony Cameras HistorySONY Corporation is a multinational corporation with headquarters in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles and information technology products. The very name “Sony” is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound.
The history of SONY Corporation dates back to the spring of 1946 when an entrepreneur Akio Morita and a promising young engineer Masaru Ibuka opened a modest radio engineering workshop in Tokyo. At that times markets were not abound in technological products; that’s why they were free to develop any direction in electronics. So, as soon as in 1951 Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation have launched Japan's first tape recorder called the Type-G.
The invention of transistor opened new horizons in the world of electronics. In 1957 Telecommunications Engineering Corporation came out with a transistor radio. Though being not the first to do this, it was SONY to make radios commercially successful for the first time. Their serial production was already under the brand SONY, so both the product and the brand won worldwide recognition.
By the 70-s SONY Corporation have become the world’s biggest audio and video equipment manufacturer. In I964 they produced first desk calculator. In 1968 ... More About Sony Cameras |
