Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DCR-PC55 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom (Silver)
Customer Review: The Sony Has It All For You!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Compact, lightweight, portability, easy to use, big screen, good reproduction
Cons: Microphone sensitive to wind, getting used to not having a viewfinder, bad low light performance.
Summary: I picked this camera as an upgrade for my old Canon ZR10. The first reason I chose it was the small size and portability. With a good light conditions, this little beast do its best shots, but in low light conditions this camera disapointed me (specially compared with mi old ZR10). Please don't buy it if you have plans to use it for stills shots because it has a low resolution.
The included handycam station have all the ports (Firewire, USB, power, video) you need to conect it.
The big touch screen is a must, because the screen is the only way to access the camera controls (besides some of them in the edge of the screen).
You can have a camera with more characteristics and better image quality for the same price, but if your concern is the size and portability this will be your best choice in the world of the mini DV format.
Customer Review: Nice camera. Not so good at night
Summary: 4 Stars
The camera is one of the best considering the price and the size of it. The only problem I found is that it has not a light, so you will need to buy the external one, if not all the shots that you do at night will be very dark.Customer Review: Lots of button and whistles

Summary: 1 Stars
I have had this camera about 6 years paid 700.00. I liked this camera because you can take pictures and video and even take a picture from your video. About a year ago the lens cap hesitated when trying to open (automatic) then it just stopped. Sony quoted 500.00 to fix. That is rediculous! I finally got used to all of the screens so I am not sure what to do. Everything in my house is Sony but I am at the point of defecting. Don't buy this product or take your chances that it stays working.
