Sony Handycam DCR SR38E

Great, practical video camera and easy to download films.

None to speak of yet.

Excellent pictures

Complicated getting used to various programmes without constantly referring to manual. What would help is a small, perhaps laminated, quick reference guide to carry around or even to stick on the base of the unit. One very bad point as far as I am...

lightweight, easy to use quickly

Very difficult to use with sun on screen. There is no viewfinder so pictures of moving objects like kids and animals running around is pure guesswork.

The camera is very handy and easy to use. The 70Gig HDD helps me record for longer hours. The movies it gives are quite OK especially when I set the quality to high quality (HQ) and takes movies outside or outdoors in a lightened area. The sound from...

Cool

nah

Excellent product, reasonable battery life. Good quality images. Sony mini tripod adds some extra professionalism.

Could do with a night time recording facility andbe packaged with a somthing to carry it in.

I use DSLRs normely I bought this digycam to try out instead buying the higher value sony camcorders and I find it does everthing i expected with good quality results, And I wiil buy one of the larger ones soon.

needs a grip of some sort for those of us with larger hands, I would rather have knobs and dials instead of touch screen.

everything good ,and handling veryn easy comfortabkle , everyone can operate so totally comfortabkle

Very easy to use and quick to transer files to the PC. Compact and lightweight with a smooth responsive zoom.

Artificial light conditions produce yellowish results.

easy to use, clear quality playback great sound works, well in low light,

battery could be better you can buy an addtional one which lasts 11 hours zoom and focus could be slighty better when using long play, but a great buy for the money
