Cute camera, frustrating software.
With a baby on the way and some birthday money, I eagerly ran to Futureshop in hopes of snagging a cheapo mini-DV video camera that would "do the job". I considered my options and purchased the Sony DCR-HC26, why? Because it was the smallest. Even the mini-DVD camcorders have a certain height to... Read full review »
A lot..for not a lot
My wife and I were looking for a digital camcorder. We are the kind of folks that would use it about 3-4 times a year, so we didn't want to spend tons of money. So off we went to the local Best Buy.
We had been looking at Digital 8/Hi 8 machines because they were in the $250-$300...

Awesome for Teens
I bought a couple of these for my kids and they love them. Very easy to use, even without reading the manual.
Capture is a breeze. Plug a firewire cable into a Mac and iMovie picks it right up. Edit away and burn it to your video iPod.

Excellent camera for it's price point.
I was in the market (or mood) to buy a camcorder. I always wanted one. Figured it would be of some use at some point in my life. To tell you the truth, now being an owner it really dawns how much it depends on your lifestyle. Honestly, I thought I'd be using this much more than I am.

Great home video camera
This camera is awesome. I have used it to record a friend's wedding and just capture footage around the house once and a while. The video quality is amazing and the camera is so lightweight and easy to use. You can literally pick it up and start using it immediately without any instruction. I... Read full review »
Poor quality
Unlike other Sony products that I own, the quality of this is reflected in the price. The camcorder, and the quality, is cheap. The image stabilization feature is useless, which was very important for me. The video is grainy, and the audio is okay at best.
Software that came with the...

good indoor camcorder
I just did a review for the Sony hc 46 and now I returned that when I saw this on sale and tried it out. These tiny Sony camcorders are so under scored by experts its almost amazing. This is a super clear video camcorder that gives great results indoors and good outdoors. It though doesn't give the... Read full review »
The search for digital video quality continues
I purchased this camera based on the positive reviews I had read about the DCR-HC21. BestBuy had the DCR-HC21 and the followup DCR-HC26 for the same price so I decided to try the newer model (even though the new model has no remote).
Upon opening the camera I noticed that it does not come...

DCR-HC26 - upgrade from DCR-HC21
This camera is the new 2006 model of last years DCR-HC21. While it is cheaper in price, it comes with a little less. I found it on sale for $320 (listed at $350), and it seems to just have a new case, the guts are the same. This years model doesn't have the remote control, which is nice in last...

Don't waste your money!
Don't waste your money on this camcorder. My husband and I bought it for ourselves for Christmas in 2006 since we had a new baby. By Memorial Day of 2007 it was no longer working. We only filled up one tape, so although we used the camcorder for 5 months, we only recorded a total of 30 minutes of... Read full review »
