    This is a Great Digital Device.

    This device was exactly what the doctor ordered. Back in the year 2005, I had a pro DV deck and I would produce 100s of DV footage. I still have the many Mini DV Tape to prove it. This was the reason I purchased this Sony Handycam Mini DV Recorder. It plays, it records, it transfers, I can use A/V connections, or I can use a USB cable. It looks like I made the right deal.

    This camera is great!!

    I bought this as preparation for my upcoming addition to our family. The finish on this camera feels a lot nicer than the models below it. You can't beat the wide screen touch screen. Filming in low light seems OK. It does have the "night vision" which works fine. You can hear the tape noise while recording but I haven't noticed it on playback. The camera is very easy to use and charges up pretty fast. I dont really care about the megapixels for the camera because I don't plan on taking still photos with a camcorder when I've already got a digital camera. You can't connect to the camera directly..you need to place it on the plastic docking station it comes with. Not a big deal though... I liked the feel of the Sony over the JVCs and Canons but ...

    Sweet Little Camcorder

    This is my 4th Sony Handycam 2 are the DCR HC42 and I LOVE these little darlings. I use a video light for better footage indoors where the lights are not so great. It does not have the great colors that Canon does, but if you only use the Sony with like camera you will not have problems editing. It is small compact and does a fine job. The drawback to these little darlings are the fact that they are bottom feeders, meaning that you have to load the tapes from the bottom and that is a pain if you have it on a tripod mount and are in the middle of a shoot. No one will stop their action to give you time to unscrew the tripod head from the unit and load the tape. I like the features and small size. It is a sturdy little trouper. I have had the DCR HC32 for a number of years and ...

    Sony... It's worth fixing! Made with module style boards.

    I bought this unit for parts. I ended up not using it. This unit has problems and I'm going to buy another inexpensive one and put the two together. Or a security cam... CON: This does shoot wide screen but in 420p. PRO:Nice touch screen controls, for all those oldies like me who can't see those button lettering. You can stream direct to computer drive/internet via firewire. Many lens adapters and underwater housing can be had for cheap right now.

    Beware of this Handycam

    I bought this handycam back in 2005, about 1 and 1/2 years ago. That time it was quite a top end model in MiniDV format. But just about 3 weeks back, the LCD screen in the camera just stopped working. Its just blank, there were absolutely zero mishandling/abuse. Shocked though I was, did some research and found that there was a lawsuot filed against Sony for defective CCD's in lot of their earlier model iof handycams and digital camera's. But unfortunaltely this model is a newer one and does not figure in the original lawsuit. Though it has all signs of the same problem. Hundreds of other users as apprently facing the same problem with DCR-HC42. Sony continues to turn a deaf ear and would charge thru' the nose to repair it. Their support and customer relations is pathetic ...
