Sony Handycarm DCR-SR45 . The good:
- 30GB HDD.
- Comapct.
- Can use Memory Stick flash cards alternatively.
- Image stabilization.
- Long zoom.
- Takes single photo shots.
- Touch screen viewfinder LCD.
The bad:
- Can't use the more popular, cheaper, widely available SD flash cards.
- Single photo shots are TERRIBLE quality. Not even worth taking.
- Battery life with supplied battery is TERRIBLE.
- No recording flash/light.
- Cannot edit videos in Windows Movie Maker (you can probably find the video codec somewhere on the net, but after 10 minutes of searching I lost patience (if it's even possible). Sony website offers no support for that. No one should have to waste hours of their time converting videos to some other format or finding some third or millionth party plug-ins to make this work. Incompetence on Sony's part.
- Barely standard definition.
- DISCONTINUED MODEL as of early 2009 (maybe earlier).
Bottom line:
Don't waste your money unless you need only basic video capabilities, with very basic quality format and decently compact package. This is a discontinued model, so beware. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for a brand new, discontinued item like this either. I made a mistake buying this even at $300 with a discount, but I'm returning ony DCR-SR45 30GB Handycam after two months (thank you 90-day return policy, Target).
we loved the camera. ony DCR-SR45 30GB Handycam was a gift for my kids who are expecting babies. they love the camera.
Excellent Product. My main motivation for buying this product had been the brand name and also since I didn't want to spend on recurring costs like tape/DVDs.
After many trips shooting with this handycam, the video quality has been consistently amazing.
Coupled with an additional battery, ony DCR-SR45 30GB Handycam can last hours of shooting.
I wouldn't recommend anyone to take pictures with this since it's clearly not meant for it. The photo quality is abysmal at best and is no substitute for a regular camera.
Happy shooting if you buy one :)
