Sony DCR-HC27 review

 

Sony continues its High Definition Video push

Outstanding features ; Excellent picture in HDV mode ; Decent value for money

Manual roller-wheel action could be better

An attractive all-round video performer that can do no wrong in converting video-makers to the virtues of high-definition shooting

Expert review by (camuser.co.uk)

Sony DCR-HC27

 

It's been a fair old while since we've seen a budget Sony camcorder. Despite the outstanding UX1 and the even more remarkable SR1, Sony, like its leading rivals, is still keen to present a line-up of budget mini DV camcorders

Remarkably revealing and a wide dynamic range, Impressive bass extension, Lovely rubberised front baffle, Convenient, Decent sound, Upgradeable cartridge and arm lead, Ideal for beginners, Easy to set up and use, Outstanding features, Excellent picture...

Vinyl finish won't be to all tastes, Not the most dynamic, Upgradeability limited by the onboard phono stage, Wind-up radio better in theory than in practice, Manual roller-wheel action could be better

An attractive all-round video performer that can do no wrong in converting video-makers to the virtues of high-definition shooting

Sony DCR-HC27

 

It is exactly what I wanted, a point and shoot camcorder. It even has an easy cam button .

The battery life is poor and I realised very quickly that having a spare was essential

size and weight. Very easy to use.

Had to keep selecting snow conditions. Would have been good if it stayed there until I removed it.
