Terrible Service and Unresponsive.... Ordered product expidited and after a week it was never received. Easy to use but Video Capture is a problem and Sony is no help. This camera is a decent enough camera, compact.

No free driver on the website to download Hi, I have lost the CD rom to download the movie from the camera. Terrific camcorder and easy to use, even at a spa My second Sony camcorder is even better than the first.

I was taken in by a review in what Digital camera which gave this product a glowing report. Good little camera,but invest in some better software and an i Link cable.Plus the only difference between the pc55 and pc53.

Compact size, large viewing monitor About an hour battery life, limited zoom We bought the camcorder at the Sony outlet store thinking it was a nice addition to the full size camcorder we already had. Compact size. so small like a mobile phone can be taken places other camcorders cannot only ten times zoom dont believe all the reviews you read,,this is a great camcorder ,,,i take ten times more videos now ,.

A big bulky bag? The Sony DCR-PC55 camcorder is a MiniDV videocam that is enclosed in the body of a small ordinary digital camera. It is lightweight.

Sony Handycam DCR PCE 55 is a handy cam which is very convenient to where it was. A big bulky bag? The Sony DCR-PC55 camcorder is a MiniDV videocam that is enclosed in the body of a small ordinary digital camera. It is lightweight.
