Sony Handycam DCR TRV245E

...and came up with the Sony DCR TRV245. Next I went into Dixons to get a hands on look at the camera and was very impressed with what I saw. OK there were some smaller cameras at the time, but they were twice the price and didn't meet all my criteria. So I went ahead and ordered on-line (I'm not silly I knew I could get it cheaper than dixons, I just wanted to see it in the flesh, so to speak). * * * * * * * * * In the box * * * * * * * * * The ...

Review of Sony Handycam DCR TRV245E

I've been using this camera for nearly a year now, and I don't regret buying it for a second, but I believe my daughter will as her hole life is now documented min by min on little labled tapes. I think this is a good camera as a first one, it has a lot of good features such as: Colour LCD Display infoLITHIUM Battery USB Streaming + Software Steady shot Night shot Optical zoom x20 Digital zoon x700 Built in light Photo option Remote control ...
...it all does, Colour LCD display: The LCD screen opens 90 degrees and it rotates 180 degrees, it's very good in the way that you can record and not be restricted by seeing everything in black and white, and it's easier for people who wear glasses as menu on the LCD has the option to make the menu look bigger, plus using the LCD uses more battery, infoLITHIUM Battery: I think this is very handy as it displays the amount of life left in the battery ...

Review of Sony Handycam DCR TRV245E

This is one of the better Digital Camcorders on the market. It's light, durable and quite small.It has many great features such as: Night shot Night shot can enable you to see and record in the dark with great detail for up to 20 metres in pitch black areas. It is very good for recording nature documentries. A lot like having night vision goggles! Steadyshot This is a very cool feature which reduces the amount of wobblyness of your recordings. ...
...20x optical zoom This enables you to zoom in 20 times without losing the quality of the image you are recording It is good for detailed close-ups like watching an ant. 700x digital zoom This is very impressive. You can zoom into far distances and be able to see low resolution images up to 700 times. 1.5" colour screen This is really handy for seeing what you are recording and even handier for watching what you have just recorded Very bright ...

Review of Sony Handycam DCR TRV245E

I brought this about 4 or 5 years ago, so it is getting fairly old now. I brought it from Agros, at £300, which, at the time, was a good deal, however, you now see camcorders 10 times better, smaller, and lighter, for a much lower price. Damn, if only they were that cheap back then... But oh well. The camcorder's looks is pretty nice, looks modern (even though now fairly old), and quite stylish. In it's time, it was fairly small and light, but obviously ...
...to take around anyway, and in the package I brought it with, I got a case I can take it around in. Overall picture quality is fairly good, better than VHS, not quite DVD though! You can use you computer to put the video onto DVD, or use a DVD recorder, and you'll get a fair image quality. The picture you'll get on the LCD screen (2.5" Colour LCD (123,200 pixels)) built onto the camera has a pretty decent image. The view finder has a fair image quality, ...

Review of Sony Handycam DCR TRV245E

I have been using this cam since christmas and have had no problems with it. Found very easy to use and think that the video quality is very good. Also found the sound quailty excellent. The battery seems to last for good while and changes up quite fast ( closing LCD screen also gives you more battery time but found bit harder to film anything from the viewfinder because of size and being in black n white) anyway.. LCD though is great, thought it ...
...film or take pics from any angle and still be able to see what recoreding clearly. can add date, time etc.. there are number of different effects including night cam you can add which are great. The steady shot good if not as good filming or just tired : ).. overall its v good cam. ...
