Sony DCRTRV320 Digital Camcorder |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Great, however......
Comments: I found this camcorder perfect for a 12 yr old, however I do belive the memory stick and still photos are a bit much. It has some way cool picture effects (negative, mosiac) and some great features (nightshot, 450x zoom) It has an increddibly compact size for a camera of its capabilities. I now use it to video parties, and school productions which i make alot of money out of. However, I do think, that like the analog range, it needs a built in light, so you do not need to pay extra for it to attach to the IAS. (Intellegent Accsoeries Shoe). Happy purchaseing!! |

Summary: Tons of features....and really a great purchase
Comments: My 1st handycam was an F series purchased 8 years ago. After 5 years it was broken beyond repair. I was itching to get1and finally did about a week ago.I was surprise how far the handycam has evolved. I was the production engineer back then in Sony Handycam production line. Even spent 3 month in Sony Minokamo(where current handycam is produced... check your handycam label) in Japan for training. This is a great product for beginner, intermediate and even an expert. It has all the function you need. I think you have read all the pros regarding the handycam. The low points for me are: 1. The supplied batteries lasts less than an hour. You'd better get another one. however it is expensive. In fact all Sony products and accessories are expensive. 2. They eat up lots of tape. 3. For F450 model (8 years ago) the battery charger is external and you can charge the battery and still using your camera. however for this handycam the charger is external and when you are recharging the battery you will not be able to use the camera. Other than that, ething is great. I purchased a DV link card using the i-link IE3944, however the card was unusable and I return it to the supplier. Still waiting for a replacement. I would like to make a movie using this card. |

Summary: Perfect for High Quality Home Movies.
Comments: This little number is a great step up from DCR-TRV310. I am Not sure why, however the number is higher, and in my experience that means that it is way better and should cost alot more. I greatly endorse it with the 2.5in screen. Anything larger sucks the life out of a battery like, the KC Chiefs suck the fun out of Monday Night Football. you will find the zoom is suitable for almost all situations. The Info-Lithium batteries are a serious point in favor of the Sony brand family over its competitors. Knowing how much time you have left to shoot is priceless in those once-in-a-lifetime situations. In California, and sweeping quickly east, is the Phenomenon I dubbed "Green Porn". With Sony's 0-lux technology, you call literally see/film in pitch black. The ablitity to make a sensuous mood with the green glow that 0-Lux supplies is amazing. It's like wathing The Nature Channel. Overall, if you do not have the money for the big time digitals and do not want junk. Then this is the Cam for you. Happy Honeymoon!! |

Summary: Great video; not so great stills.
Comments: I am quite pleased with the audio and video quality of this camcorder, as well as the plethora of features and effects (though almost all I'll probably never use). I like the steadyshot, nightshot, and being able to shoot in widescreen format -- those are my favorite features. What I am terribly disappointed in with this camera is the quality of the still images; I get better quality from a disposable. In short, stills look absolutely terrible. I have fooled with taking stills under a variety of conditions, and they only look "decent" under the almost all optimal lighting circumstances. I can not complain too much since this is a secondary feature of the camcorder, and the video and audio really are remarkable, however I wish I had known that I'd also have to purchase a digital still camera when shopping for this one. |
