Summary
Product Title: Sony Handycam Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Manufacturer: Sony
Power Score: 3.8 | 10 Reviews
Strengths: Color is great. It does take a few seconds for the unit to warm up and the color stabilizes but once it does it is great. The weight is neglible and makes it easy to carry around all day.
Weakness: Having to use the large capacity batteries makes the unit bulky.
Not having a lot of experience with digital camcorders I found this unit easy to learn and to use. It interfaces well with my iMac and I'm making video productions after only 15 days of use. The base unit setup is very easy to get used to and eliminates the tedious plugging in of small cords when dumping to the iMac. The features of the unit seem to be easy to access and easy to use, especially...
Strengths: Quality two in one solution, size, convertable hand strip, night shot, customable menu.
Weakness: Sony's high price accessories. Strange microphone position. Extra Cradle for computer connection.
When I decided to buy a camcorder, I know I want my camcorder can take quality still picture. When I travel, I don't want to carry big bags with lots of accessries and batteries with me. I want a all-in-one solution. There are not too many options I have, Sony DCR-PC350 and Panasonic PV-GS400, which make things easier. Size and weight are the most crital aspect to me, becasue I want my wife, who...
Strengths: Compact, well built, lots of function, excellent video
Weakness: memory stick compatibility, picture is so so, expensive accessories, did not include firewire
Looked at many cameras but wound up with this one. Got it because of its small size, though a little heavy for its size. Neat feature is that you can record from tape to memory stick as MPEG1. You can also do real time video recording from any video source such as tv or vcr onto memory stick. The picture quality is good but kind of grainy for a 3MB camera. I also like the menu shortcuts on the...
Strengths: compact and handy. Nice design. No motor noise compared with GS400 which my colleague bought.
Weakness: Large capacity batteries are needed. No iLink cable come with the it. Have to load the video into the computer with low quality. And the software used for it is unpractical.
This is the first camcorder I have. Even though it's very expensive but I bought it because its compact and nice design. I want a camcorder with digital camera function so that I don't have to bring lots of equipments when I am traveling. And this one definitely fit my requiments. It's quality is OK, but not as good as I expected with such prices. Compared with GS400, this one is light, handy and...
Strengths: Compact and easy to use, especially with the Easy Cam feature on. Photos appear crisp and clean for a camcorder. Touch screen LCD easy to navigate.
Weakness: Might be too small for some hands. Side-mounted flash is easy to accidentally cover up while using photo mode. Requires Memory Card Duo.
I'm extremely pleased with this camcorder. I bought it as a replacement for my Sony DCR-PC110 and find there are many similarities and many improvements as well. I particularly like the touch screen LCD and the additional buttons on the side of the LCD which allow me to telephoto or zoom without worrying about pressing a wrong button on the other side of the camera. (Both the photo and telephoto...

Sony’s DCR-PC350 is the company’s most expensive matchbook camcorder from 2004. It’s a good camcorder, especially for a matchbook, and it definitely beats the socks off of Canon’s high end Optura 400 and Optura 500. While the Opturas may take the cake in the manual control department, as they offer manual audio control and true shutter adjustment, the DCR-PC350 offers superior performance...

If you're looking for a small, compact camcorder that's easy to use and shoots great looking video, look no further than Sony's DCR-PC350. Sony's 3.3 megapixel matchbox-style DCR-PC350 replaces the similar DCR-PC330, with the only major change being a reduction in size. The camcorder features a 10x optical zoom and a fairly large 1/3-inch CCD that delivers outstanding low light and video...

Sony Handycam Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: Excellent picture quality Compact size. User friendly menu system NO MOTOR NOISE!!!
Weakness: Slow auto-focus in lower lighting No headphone jack Microphone placement picks up ambient room noise
Phenomenal picture in every lighting situation, grain free in low light. Customizable touch screen menu for quick access during filming. Extended life battery is smaller than I thought and lasts over 2 hours. This is the best camera I have ever used. Have tried and returned matchbook cameras from panasonic and canon. Sony is the best hands down. Especially in low light, the picture is absolutely...
