Product Description
Stop stopping. None of us likes to switch tapes in the middle of a shoot, or waste time rewinding and capturing. That's why the DCR-SR42 Handycam camcorder contains a 30GB built-in hard disk drive (HDD) storage and allows you to capture up to 20 hours of recording time (LP) so you don't need to mess around with tapes. A brilliant 2.5" Touch Panel LCD display keeps the controls at your fingertips while a 40x optical/2000x digital zoom makes sure you catch all the detail. And when it comes time to share your memories, it couldn't be easier with the one touch disc burn capability and the Memory Stick Duo media slot. The DCR-SR42 puts the simplicity back into shooting and sharing your videos.

    Summary: Good Handycam
    Comment: Merits:

    1. It's a Sony! (Brand value).
    2. Compact and light-weight.
    3. Carl Zeiss lens.
    4. hard disk memory, easy to transfer to computer.
    5. I got the refurbished one from sonystyle.com for 300 bucks. Thats pretty cheap for a 40x zoom HDD camcorder from Sony.
    6. Motion picture quality is good.

    Demerits:
    1. Does not have a view finder.
    2. The Still picture quality is not that great (As indicated by others too).
    3. Does not have a neck strap (Or any provision for that).
    4. You need the camcorder dock to charge as well as transfer movies into Computer.
    5. The bundled video editor doe not have much functionality. Only you can cut a video, i could not find any option to merge several videos into one.

    Overall i like this camcorder, i will buy some video editing software to work on the videos a bit.

    Summary: Not Worth It
    Comment: I regret buying this camcorder. Video only looks okay when shot outside in the sun. If you shoot video inside, it looks very grainy. Forget about taking pictures with this camcorder since the resolution is so low. The pictures look awful! I'm buying a different one. Don't waste your money!

    Summary: Very Low Quality and Blurry
    Comment: Very Low Quality and Blurry. I would compare the quality of this video camera to the standard video camera you get from a cell phone. I am going to try to return this camera.

    Comment: I bought this unit relying on the reputation of Sony and never thought Sony could offer such a bad quality video on his handycams. It is awful. It is a real lemon ! I won't recommend to anyone to buy this model. Sorry Sony but you just deceived me !
