Sony DCR-DVD850 Camcorder

it is slightly larger than the (very compact) dcr 47-87 series.sony dcr-sr47 hard disk drive handycam camcorder (silver) however, it will still almost fit in the palm of your hand.

the camcorder must do a good job of adjusting for fast motion or shaking because it didn't make us sick watching the video.

it allows effortless transfer of files from the camcorder to your computer, and easy (if somewhat plain) video dvd creation.

it's a great quality product for the price and definitely in contention with the flip, in my opinion.

the only thing that i don't like about the product is when it semi-automatically compresses the file for emailing i think the resolution "sucks" and you loose a tremendous amount of quality.

easy-to-use, intuitive menu navigation.
from www.amazon.com
it is very small and light, but does a great job with pretty much anything, but it does struggle in the dark like every other camcorder under 2-3 grand.
from www.amazon.com
the only reason i did not give this camcorder a 5 star is because one of the pixels on the lcd screen was broken when we took it out of the box, and amazon won't exchange it for only one broken pixel.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted to buy a different software program that i can use with my windows vista 64 bit that runs in my computer, but i need to make sure it is compatable with 64 bit and not just 32 bit.
from www.bestbuy.com
if you need a high end editing program your stuck with buying a suite from adobe which is very expensive or wait until a different software is updated.
