Comments Sony Handycam DCR-SX30E - Camcorder - review

Comments on Sony Handycam DCR-SX30E

Although the days of standard definition camcorders are clearly numbered, there are still a few years left to go. If your budget only extends to £200, your choice is between a cut-down HD model with inferior features and image quality, a pocket Internet HD camcorder with no features at all other than direct web upload, or a budget regular TV resolution unit such as the DCR-SX30E. Canon's LEGRIA FS21 and JVC's Everio GZ-MS120 both offer better low light performance, particularly the JVC, but they are also considerably more expensive, where the SX30E is available for around £200. If you would rather have a camcorder with a little more control than a Flip, and are willing to forego HD resolution to get it, this is a relatively capable pocket model for a good price.
