Advantages: Great camcorder, easy to use and excellent quality
Disadvantages: Not within everybody's price-range

...Eventually, he decided that the Sony DCR-SR52 was suitable for everything his ‘current’ model did, with many, many additional features too. You may question how I can review what is essentially my father’s camera. Well, having a fairly large family there is almost always an excuse for family get together’s and therefore plenty of video opportunities. I, for some reason that I haven’t entirely been able to explain, nearly always find myself as the ...
...encounter in most programmes, but Sony have decided to ignore the tried and tested method and sadly this makes it not quite as user-friendly as it could have been. ~~~ Cost ~~~ The camcorder’s RRP is around the £450 region; however there are some excellent offers to be had with this particular model – we managed to save £100 on the RRP by buying it via Amazon, but I’m sure if you were to shop around you could find some other great value deals. ...

Advantages: slim, waterproof camera and offers antishake
Disadvantages: Sound not of great quality

This small handy digital camcorder is a point-and-shoot model offering a number of great technologies such as Green/blue screen, Stabilization, light capture technology and touchscreen editing as well as a powerful zoom in/out, All-Weather body design. Sometimes water and photography are a bad combination, limiting outdoor photography options when rain, snow or sleet are involved. However, this digital camcorder can go virtually anywhere.

Battery life also extremly long and battery is lightweight so spares can easily be transported along with the camera if you require. Sound quality not quite up to the same superior quality of the picture, and can be slightly echoed/fuzzy/disorted but all together a great camera! Would reccomend. ... Read review

Advantages: Hard disc recording - no tapes
Disadvantages: low battery time

I was sceptical - read lots of reviews that were non commital about the quality of the camera. Never having had a digital camcorder before, I did a huge amount of background research and that just left me not wanting anything with tapes or DVDs that need changing, editing or run out at the innoportune moments! So, I got onto ebay and got myself (for 250 GBP!!!!) from the US, a brand new Everio. After paying import duty (caveat emptor) I got it ...
...first thing that you notice - small, but it fits my hand perfectly, and my wife's hand too (and she has little hands). It feels like a good extension of your arm and is not at all heavy, even after some extensive use. Ease of USE - without reading a manual at all (what a man!) I managed to figure out the way to record and then to review what I had recorded - its pretty easy and intuitive although the controls for some of the functions are pretty ... Read review

Advantages: Good image quality in true widescreen, very handy and low price
Disadvantages: No infrared night mode + slightly noisy during recording

I bought this camcorder a year ago for my summer vacations. The camcorder went though some rough conditions, such as extremely hot weather, humidity, dust and low light. It has also gone through 100 hours of recording time. Nevertheless, today is still in great working order, ready for my next summer vacations. Very good image quality, even in low light (sadly no infrared night mode). True widescreen recording (great if you have a widescreen TV). ...
...to the camcorder's DV tape using the av cable provided connected with your digital set top box or freeview receiver). Very good audio recording (fortunately the slight noise you sense during recording is imperceptible when you playback. Satisfactory battery life (you have the option to buy a larger capacity battery) I recommend this camcorder to everyone who's planning to use it for travel, holiday and special events purposes. ...
