Recommended it? No

I bought this camera for use in an industrial setting to video job tasks, which will be used for future training. I have had the camera for 5 days. To start with, the camera is easy to operate. However, if you have big fingers it may be kind of cumbersome due to the small size of the camera and... Read full review »

Versatile, Fun Camera

Pros Small, light, convenient two-in-one camera with great video.
Cons Medium quality still photography.
Recommended it? Yes

We bought this camera several months ago when I was looking for a camera I could use as, not only a family camera, but a camera for my hobby. I take photos of old abandoned buildings for posterity.

What possessed me to buy it was the fact it had both video and still imaging capabilities... Read full review »

Great Consumer Camera!

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros lightweight, small, Carl Zeiss Lens, some manual controls, lives long, good quality
Cons could have more manual control, touch screen gets smudged, no mic input
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this video camera when my old one died, since I am a hobbiest in making short films. It was a great step up from my old camera (a JVC camcorder) and has a fair amount of useful features considering the price (I paid $300 when I got it a couple of years ago).
The quality of this... Read full review »

Pros Excellent low-light video quality. Good zoom. Good sound. Cheap media (MiniDV tapes)
Cons Lens cap on a string.
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first camcorder, so I don't have experience with other camcorders to compare this one with. However, I have researched camcorders so much I feel like an expert. But I'm not.

Pros EASY setting,good colors in well-lit places,Firewire
Cons poor colors in dimmer settings, no Firewire cable included
Recommended it? Yes

The Sony DCR-HC36 is very easy to use, especially with the "EASY" setting turned on. Picture quality in well-lit places is pretty good. However, the color quality suffers in low-light situations, with a somewhat bluish tint occurring.

The camera can be hooked up to a PC or Mac via... Read full review »

Great camcorder!

Helpful? 1 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lightweight, Compact, Easy to Use
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

What a great camcorder! I've used it on our Disney trips and it's very easy to carry around. I just carry it in a camcorder bag around my shoulder. I love the touch screen and easy to use buttons. I have not had a hard time figuring it out and I'm definitely not electronics savvy. You'll love it. Read full review »

Better Than Basic Camera

Pros Easy to Use, Quality Construction
Cons Overpriced
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this because my old Sony Handycam (16 years old!) finally died.  Mostly I use it to record family movies (birthdays, etc.)  It was very easy to use right out of the box.  I haven't really explored most of the features yet because I don't really need them.  It is a... Read full review »
