Comment on Sony DCR-SX45 Handycam Camcorder (Blue) by James Shirk.
Nice little Sony,
This is not a High Definition model, if it were my review would be quite different but beings it’s standard def it’s okay.
Okay first there’s the light which is little more than a hoax, but it does mean that it might need a light in lowlight conditions. It is very small, and light, flip the 3″ LCD & the camera turns on and the lens opens immediately. The battery life is as good as any Sony camcorder and I have an older sony that I used for 2 years & never had to get another battery for it. Can count on at least an hours worth of juice, but you can power it with the ac adapter.
It has no built in memory so you need to buy an SD card, 16GB is good.
It does not have very good manual adjustments, just like all sony camcorders I suppose, but most of you will be using the iAuto anyways.
Some folks think standard definition is dead but it is still used a lot, including all DVD’s are not HD.
It’s affordable and well worth the money for a beginner, if you are a serious photographer with experience save your money and get something bigger.
