Product Description

 
The DCR-HC36 from Sony gives you a full-featured, compact MiniDV camcorder at an affordable price. Highlights include the Advanced HAD CCD imager, which captures stunning detail and clarity, and 20x optical zoom with Super SteadyShot picture stabilization, which focuses on distant subjects, providing clear close-up images with less distortion. The Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens offers less glare and increased contrast for vivid, more life-like color and tones.

Sony DCR HC36

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2006
The Bottom Line: If I had the money or the decision ability, I would find better. Works for now.
Review: I bought this camera for use in an industrial setting to video job tasks, which will be used for future training. I have had the camera for 5 days. To start with, the camera is easy to operate. However, if you have big fingers it may be kind of...

Date of Review:  Dec 25, 2006

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: This has the one feature all the rest in this price range don't have: Excellent low-light video.
Review: This is my first camcorder, so I don't have experience with other camcorders to compare this one with. However, I have researched camcorders so much I feel like an expert. But I'm not.
