Good Quality, Easy to Use, Though Not for Budget-Minded (Part 5)

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2004
The Bottom Line: Better resolution than the HC65, but pricey. The cost for the HC85 isn't too bad considering the high video resolution and 2 megapixel stills
Review: Part 5 in reviewing Sony's HC series camcorders.

I don't sell many DCR-HC85 camcorders at my work, but it happens every once in awhile. Typically, the people purchasing the HC85 want the best resolution camera available from Sony. Not all...

This camera has been great

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this camera due to ease of use and video/picture quality.
Review: The picture is awesome on my big screen tv and other tv's. The Digital camera feature is fantastic, enough for all my digital and printed picture needs. The colors are excellent and the large 3.5" LCD screen is so easy to operate. All the features...

Sony Handycam DCR-HC85 Whats the Real Deal

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: I advise not getting this camera unless you get to try it out first, because of POSSIBLE exposure problems.
Review: This is my third edit and I think I understand the discrepancy of views on this camera or I thought I did. After two weeks I am going to change my mind permanently and I don't like it. Its good in low light and bright sunlight, everything else has...

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

WOW THIS IS A REALLY HUGE...

Stay away from this camera, it has quality problems.

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2005
Review: April 2004 we bought a new Sony at Best Buy. It did everything we asked it to. Great video, easy to download, easy to use. Then, in September, the camera stopped connecting to the PC via the firewire. We tried the USB, nothing. We returned it to...
