Sony Handycam DCR-SX33E

 

It's been awhile since I had a handycam. The last one I got was four or five years ago. I can't remember the exact series but the brand was JVC. I was so disappointed with it and got hooked with buying ordinary digital camera's instead. But since this...

I’m only having a hard time looking for a handycam case here due to it’s small size. It would have been great if the package came with other accessories. And one more thing also, when I tried to plug it on a old model Sony TV, no picture or sounds came...

Sony Handycam DCR-SX33

 

It's very portable. Easy to use. Tremendous optical zoom, very impressed with it's range in such a small unit. Good quality lens. The SD card is very convenient for storage.

It's so small and light that I need to use a chest pod or monopod to support it for reasonable results. It doesn't have any means of attaching a lens hood or filter. ( I realise that the more expensive units would have this facility, however, it would...
