Sony DCR-SR62 30GB Hard Disk Drive Handycam Camcorder with 25x Optical Zoom (Handycam Station Included)

We got this when we are expecting our first baby. It's rather easy 2 use overall. Videos are gorgeous & we couldn't be happier. It holds hours of video. However, the still photos are of VERY poor quality. Thank goodness we brought our regular camera 2 the hospital. We had hoped 2 only have 2 lug one piece of equipment around, but the photos simply are of poor color & very blurry. We also are unable 2 figure out how 2 upload the videos using just the camcorder. You have 2 have the base, which means another piece 2 lug along if you are uploading on vacation.

Parents bought the camera & it was too late 2 return it. Pros: very light & easy 2 use. Everything functions very well. Cons: Image quality sucks & you must use the dock 2 transfer files 2 computer. For the image quality alone i would have returned this but i cant anymore. Would i buy again? 4 the price, definitely not.

Easy 2 use, good videos. We're not descriminating, so there's not much I can say that hasnt already been said. Takes great videos 4 the price; easy 2 use - right out of the box, we connected it 2 the TV 2 view the videos & were very pleased with the results. I especially like the fact that I no longer have 2 deal with disks or tapes.

Only problem is that these small handhelds are geared towards right-handed users. You cant really hold/use it with your left hand as all of the controls, & also the screen are on the left side of the camera. I suspect most of the small handhelds suffer from this problem.

I was amazed at how this worked. The light 4 darkness blew me away. I wanted the next size up but this one was the better buy 4 the price.

This camera takes good video quality & good picture quality (about 1MP). I bought this camera 2 possibly be a good all-in-one camera, pictures & video. The 30GB holds more than I need & it is easy 2 transfer 2 a Computer. My only problem at all with this camera is that it does not have a flash. I believe the Sony SR200 & SR300 have a flash. So, it turns out that 4 taking pictures indoors it is still better 4 me 2 use my other sony Camera. Other than that this camera fits all my needs & I think it actually works out better that I use this camera 4 video & the other 4 pics.
