Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480
  • Editors' rating: 2h stars
      Overall score: 5.8 (2.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3 stars out of 10 reviews
Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 Reviewed on 11/18/2005

The Bottom Line: With its ability to play and transfer your old tapes, the Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 is an attractive choice if you're upgrading from an 8mm or Hi8 camcorder. But if you don't need 8mm or Hi8 compatibility, competing MiniDV cameras offer superior performance in much smaller packages.

Specs: Camcorder, CCD, 20 x, Digital8, 1.8 lbs

Sony Handycam DCR-PC1000
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.6 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 14 reviews
Sony Handycam DCR-PC1000 Reviewed on 08/03/2005

The Bottom Line: Attractive and compact, the Sony Handycam DCR-PC1000 MiniDV camera offers excellent image quality for its class and brings CMOS technology to the world of camcorders. But its overly clever user interface doesn't do its feature set justice.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CMOS, 10 x, Mini DV, 0.9 lbs

Sony Handycam DCR-HC32

Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 Reviewed on 06/15/2005

The Bottom Line: Like many lower-end camcorders, the Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 has trouble keeping noise out of the picture. But that's the only real problem with this affordable, feature-packed model.

Specs: Camcorder, Advanced HAD CCD, 20 x, Mini DV, 0.9 lbs

Sony DCR-HC90 Reviewed on 05/02/2005

The Bottom Line: If you're ready to make the move to 16:9 videography or want to shoot a lot of romantically lit scenes, look no further than Sony's top-of-the-line single-chip Handycam.

Specs: Camcorder, Advanced HAD CCD, 10 x, Mini DV, 0.9 lbs

Sony Handycam DCR-HC30 Reviewed on 10/20/2004

The Bottom Line: The DCR-HC30 makes a decent and very compact choice for a budget camcorder, but if you can afford to spend another $100, the DCR-HC40 will give you better video quality.

Specs: Camcorder, CCD, 10 x, Mini DV, 6.8 megapixels, 0.9 lbs

Sony Handycam DCR-PC109
