Purchased a Sony DCR-H52 from Office Depot on sale. Wanted a cam that was light and easy to hold without a lot of gadgets. This one fills the bill.
It does decent work in low light and the tilting view screen allows for unobtrusive picture taking. Images on SONY MiniDV tape are more than acceptable. In extreme low light (available darkness), images do fall off and wash out; but that's what external lights are for.
The only real quibble is that the sound function is minimal. Close up it is OK. General background sound is forgettable.
Assessories such as a i-Link cable, portable recharger, MiniDV tapes, extra battery, can be acquired for the most resonable price through Amazon. BJs sells a Sony MiniDV 10 pack at an attractive price.
This is not a Hollywood Movie cam; it is a grandparent's tool and fills that bill very well.
