Awesome Little Camcorder!!!!!
This camcorder is INCREDIBLY easy to use. I had it out of the box and after the battery charged (120 mins later), I was testing the camcorder out.
All I did was set the "Easy" function (explained in the manual) and I was using the camcorder in a matter of minutes. The Touchpad...

Camera blurs focus all the time!
This is the first video camera I've ever owned, although I've used a few others. I bought this very expensive camera (about $615 at Best Buy) figuring that I would use it forever, so I got this one with the internal hard drive so I didn't have to mess with tapes, rewinding, making sure I didn't...

Good, could be better, would probably buy again
I liked the idea of a hard drive camcorder. No tapes, no whirring sounds in the background. But this isn't perfect. Its design requires that it sit in its dock in order to upload the video to the computer. And this is not Mac-friendly. You can get around the Mac problem by downloading another... Read full review »
It Doesn't Take A Rocket Scientist to Operate
I bought my DCR-SR42 about a month ago. Although I have not yet tried all the features on it, I am completely satisfied so far. This is my first camcorder. After a lot of research, I decided a hard drive would suit me the best. The quality of the video seems quite good. I think I might want to... Read full review »
Crappy resolution
Wish I had kept my Hi-8 mm. This HDD video camera has very poor video quality. Very grainy video. Looks like the old 1 MB cameras. Read full review »

NOT WORTH IT!!
I'm in a rock band and I tape all my gigs. I hated having to run back and forth to my old camera(s) to check how much tape was left, or worse, running out of tape in the middle of a song, so I bought this camera a few months ago thinking it would be great for video taping my gigs. Great thoughts,... Read full review »
REPULSIVE
grainy video, VERY grainy pictures...(unless u are in bright sunshine!) worst of all, kiss editing goodbye. if you want to make videos/movies etc... go with a digital tape. this is not compatible with a mac either. no matter what you download! this has been difficult, long struggle and not fun. it...

Piece of crap...
This cam was given to me as a birthday gift about 6 months ago. I've had 2 camcorders before this and have made great dvd's and other copies in the past so I know what I'm doing. I also used to be a pc tech for IBM and have my MCSE. I can't get the thing to be recognized on my pc... or any pc. Sony... Read full review »
