Customer Review: Best little camcorder I have ever used.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been wanting to upgrade my 15 year old camcorder for some time, and since I no longer have small children at home anymore, I kept putting off making the final step. A co-worker had a Sony Hanycam at work on day and we had a ball with it. I began watching the sales on this amazing little creature and finally found the Sony Handycam SR65 on Amazon.com. Right out of the box it performed amazingly well with video's so awesome I was kicking myself for putting off the upgrade for as long as I did.
There is only one problem that I have found, and it isn't really with the quality of the camera or the video's but with how the camera records the video; when you push the record button and record then stop the recording, it records in "clips". You can put the clips together on the video camera but when you transfer them to your computer using the software, the "clips" will not stay together, it is actually transferred in "clips" as they were recorded. I've spend a little time going over the software and cannot find a way to permanently keep those clips together on my computer.
Otherwise, it is an amazing camcorder and I will use it for years to come with no regrets; with Amazon's great price on this camera I am definitely a happy camper and would not hesitate to recommend this camera to anyone who was looking for a great family camcorder.
