Customer reviews

Works Great with iMovie ‘08
The Sony DCR-SR line now works very well on the Mac with the newest version of iMovie. This camera worked well before, although it did require the open source MPEG Streamclip app to import the videos, which then work great in iMovie as well. Excellent Sound. Great Battery Life. Touch screen and menus are very easy to use. Very simple to use for anyone with a Mac and iMovie ‘08. Very quick import as well.

Great Purchase!!
I bought this as a gift to my dad on his retirement. He always wanted to go with Sony, specially when it comes to camcorders. This was a great product and definitely one of the better ones out of the whole lot. Price is also not too bad (although if you wait a month or two you might find better deals in thanksgiving)

As always amazon.com had one of the best deals and not to forget its one of the highest trusted online shopping websites.

Very nice little camera
I ordered this camera online because all the other places, ie. Circuit City, Best Buy, etc., wouldn’t price match. The camera came overnight and we had it the afternoon of the next day. We took it on vacation with us and it worked wonders! We love the camera! It is so small and takes amazing pictures. We haven’t had to delete anything off it yet because it has enough memory for us. I found out my sister has the same camera and she loves it as well. I would definitely recommend it if you are paying around $600.00 like we did. Do not buy it from a big box store if you can get it online overnight.

The little camera that could.
I narrowed my choice in digital video cameras to this Handycam and a similar Panasonic model — the SDR-H200. Sony won the battle due to what I see as a superior picture. I compared the two models side by side at Circuit City and it wasn’t even close. The Panasonic, while displaying exceptional coloration, appeared blurry. Sony’s DCR-SR200 has an image that is crystal clear with incredibly sharp lines. The controls are also nice with the touch screen LCD. In contrast, I found the Panasonic’s thumb-toggle switch to be rather annoying.

Overall, the DCR-SR200 feels great in the hand and takes beautiful video.

Great!
The Sony Camcorder has been great; I love the size and the easy use. One major problem I’ve had is getting it to connect to my Apple iBook. I love using iMovie, but can’t get the computer to find the camera when I connect it. I’ve read other sites saying that they aren’t compatible. [after I bought the camera!] But it’s still a great camera.
