5, compare with the old sony dv shot, 200e Although a lot of pixels to be high, but no significant difference between the effect of filming. the Sony DCR-SR200E is a 40GB that can store video or pictures equivalent to up to 28 hours.

Bought this camcorder last month after debating this and the competing Panasonic model (SDR series).

This is our first hard drive camcorder, we are used to a little thinner camera from other models but it works very well in your hand.

I bought this camcorder in 2007. This is "a okay" camcorder. Outdoor shooting is good but indoor shooting, you can forget about a clear video. I bought this camera in a hurry from the internet and as a result I didnt had much time to research different HD cameras on the market. Compact. ok - I literally waited for 6 months following the price of this camcorder before jumping on it. and my wait was rewarding!

Sony SR series at a number of hard drive-based digital cameras, SR200E type can be said to be the pilot, there is no super-zoom lens.

Over all this is a great camera for the home enthusiast. The software it came with really does nothing for you in the way of editing the videos.

I’m in that strange age range where I’m young enough I have at least a rudimentary understanding of how technology works and is evolving. I was looking for a new camcorder. It seems like I get a good 5 years out of one before something better comes along that I simply must have. I have been looking at the prices of camcorders for nearly one month. I campared different brands such as Sony, JVC, Canon and Panasonic.

Full description

Sound and vision allows you to capture the full range of life with the DCR-SR200 Handycam hard disk drive camcorder. The ClearVid CMOS Sensor gives you realistic images and 5.1ch surround sound lets you record the sounds as well as the sights. You can leave the tapes at home, thanks to the internal 40GB hard disk drive that stores up to 20 hours of amazingly clear video (LP) with up to 520 lines of horizontal resolution. An industry leading Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens captures incomparable detail while the dual recording feature allows you to capture 2.3 megapixel still images at the same time as you're filming video. And with the included Handycam Station, you can immediately share your footage with the one touch disc burn feature.
