no USB cable for camera and photo

I bought this camcorder and was surprised that it doesn't come with a USB cable, I mean all camcorders should come with it these days. Amazon's product page never says it's not included. I took a few photos on the internal storage and found that you can not take them off without a cable, now you have to order.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

Not a bad camcorder, best in Camera & Photo category

Great camera if you don't want the video to be posted on video sharing sites like Vimeo or YouTube as the picture quality isn't the best, although I they still use it for that purpose. And of course it won't be the best since it's a standard definition camera. But the microphone and zoom are excellent. I like this camera but it's just average.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No auto mode

Sony DCR-SX44 camcorder

This is a good little camcorder for the money. We bought it for videos, not photos, so we didn't try it. We have a separate camera for that. It's easy to use and just what we needed for personal use. I like the internal storage with the ability to add more from the map. It would have been nice to have a viewfinder as the LCD screen is a bit difficult to see in daylight. Can recommend this camera.

Pros
  • High test scores for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

Handy handheld camera: camera and photo

Sony. The best brand. Great little camera. Neat and compact. I wouldn't recommend it for still photography, but capturing a picture from video is a fantastic feature when the subject isn't moving. Don't use it at night without proper lighting, or the picture quality will be dim, but the volume is excellent. Easy-to-use handheld camera. I especially like the internal storage. I don't like that every time I use it I have to select the fade options and instead of turning the camera off, I put it…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

The best refurbished camera I've ever seen!

This is a great camcorder and I love the way it is packaged. Ocean Reefs Electronics takes great care of refurbished electronics. It has been treated with care, there was not a single scratch, dent or mark on the camera, except for a small speck of dust on the lens. Everything works perfectly. The kit included a wall charger, the camera itself, and a car charger. I am very satisfied with Ocean Reefs Electronics. They have great prices, EXTREMELY fast shipping ahead of schedule. Great camera…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs

Two cameras in one!

I remember having a video camera with video cassettes with me. It was good for its time but WOW what a joy it was with the Handycam! Shooting video was easy. I could push a button, quietly aim a camera, and overhear conversations at a birthday party. It was also great to be able to take photos from the same camera by simply pressing a button to switch from one to the other. and back. Easy to use. just insert a memory card. Download the software from the supplied CDs. and you're done! Changing…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
