| 105 of 110 people found the following review helpful  Nice little Sony, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony DCR-SX45 Handycam Camcorder (Blue) (Electronics) This is not a High Definition model, if it were my review would be quite different but beings it's standard def it's okay.Okay first there's the light which is little more than a hoax, but it does mean that it might need a light in lowlight conditions. It is very small, and light, flip the 3" LCD & the camera turns on and the lens opens immediately. The battery life is as good as any Sony camcorder and I have an older sony that I used for 2 years & never had to get another battery for it. Can count on at least an hours worth of juice, but you can power it with the ac adapter. It has no built in memory so you need to buy an SD card, 16GB is good. It does not have very good manual adjustments, just like all sony camcorders I suppose, but most of you will be using the iAuto anyways. Some folks think standard definition is dead but it is still used a lot, including all DVD's are not HD. It's affordable and well worth the money for a beginner,...

But, I have noticed that the recorded picture is remarkably still, despite one's shaky hands! And I was able to take clear pictures through my car windows. The sound is very clear and picks up even the quietest sounds. I don't know how much better a HD picture would look, so I cannot comment much on the picture quality. However, it is certainly good enough for my touristy purposes. After downloading the software, I was able to burn DVD's very easily from the camera (since I have an external DVD player attached to my computer). And, it sounds like a "slot machine" when you turn it on and press buttons, as it has all sorts of internal sounds to let you know what it is doing!So, I am very happy with this camcorder. 26 of 26 people found the following review helpful Great camera!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony DCR-SX45 Handycam Camcorder (Silver) (Electronics) After reading so many bad reviews, I was a little leery about buying this, but it sounded like what I wanted.After purchasing, I am SO happy with this camera. If you're looking for an expensive camera to take WONDERFUL footage of your family's moments, this camera is for you. Ignore all the crap about "fuzzy footage," etc...I mean, what are you looking for? I can't honestly believe that people can tell the difference between this and a supposed high def camera. Your eyes only see what they see, and this camera gives you great picture (and sound.) Even in low light...we used it Christmas Eve with nothing but the tree on...it gave us wonderful footage...not blurry. Plus, it is super easy to use... ...and though I couldn't find any of the transfer info I wanted online, it couldn't be more easy. I hooked it up to my VCR with the included AV cables and transferred footage straight to VHS...and plan to do the same with a DVD burner. Very... Read more |
