Sony DCR-HC22

 

Reliable and quite simple to operate. Easy to switch between record and review.

Transfering images from the digit tape to a PC. Out of date technology. Although it still films great quality video Sony have not kept up with the latest PC operating systems so you have to use a PC running Windows XP. Nowadays everyone want to...

the camcorder is a sophisticated and very advanced piece of equipment but the programing and setup of its functions make it as simple to use as a car steering wheel. its also fairly durable for a camcorder...

The touch screen is incredibly handy and easy to use. Auto-focus is faultless. An excellent camcorder.

Standard battery is okay. A second battery is a must have.
