Review on 📷 Sony DCR-SR200 Handycam Camcorder: 2.1MP, 40GB HDD, 10x Optical Zoom (Discontinued Model) by David Plunkett

Bought this camcorder last month after talking about it and a competing Panasonic model (SDR series). I have to say that the overall image and movie quality from this camcorder is rich and vibrant. The controls are simple and intuitive, positioned exactly where you would expect them to be, and the on-screen controls I find pretty neat. Because I have medium sized fingers. As mentioned in several other reviews, the battery tends to stick out a bit, but given the overall performance of the camcorder, I don't mind. Transferring and recording is very easy, although I wish the camcorder software had more advanced editing/effects capabilities. The charging station should be with you everywhere (especially on long trips) but that didn't bother me as it was lightweight and didn't add to your luggage at all. Video can be recorded in 3 different and distinct formats, as it is CMOS recording the effect on the overall image mix is negligible. The camcorder is light, the battery life is near perfect, and there's far more storage than I'll ever need (I regularly transfer data to a nearby DVD/computer). Happy filmmaking!
