Camcorders : Sony DCRSR82

I'm happy with my purchase. Although, if I would have come to this site earlier I would have realized I could have bought this gadget much cheaper. I unfortunately paid the full $749.00.



I really like the 60 GB hard drive. The LCD screen is pretty cool, but I do hate getting my fingerprints on the screen. Oh well. It doesn't take long to figure out how to operate the camera. I like the size, feel, features, pretty much everything except what I'm about to list.



Nightshot.....what a waste of money!!!!!!! There's very little difference in using Nightshot and regular lighting. Fortunately, Sony makes an accessory that helps Nightshot perform they way it is supposed to. Without that accessory Nightshot is practically worthless.



And of course....battery life. If you're using the camera to it's full potential, meaning, you are using the high quality/definition filming, which is one of the main features of this camcorder then it will eat your battery life FAST! I plan on buying the biggest battery they have to offer. Hopefully that will keep me from recharging after every hour or less.



That's about it. So far it's a really good purchase. It has the potential to be a sweet camera, and fortunately, they have the accessories to do so.



Oh yeah, one more thing. The accessory booklet that came with the camera said that if you register your camera at the provided website that you would get a 15% discount on you accessories. Well, I registered, but when I tried to purchase the accessories they didn't give me a 15% discount. I guess I'll just have to call and see what the deal is. Hide Full Review
