Sony Handycam DCR-SX44
$250.00
Released November, 2010
The Pros:Image stabilizer is effective at reducing hand shake. Ideal for beginners in digital recording: low price point, intuitive use right after charging the battery. Touchscreen interface reduces external buttons, in turn reducing confusion and locating most options in one spot.
The Cons:Overly deep depth of field makes highlighting subject difficult. Microphone is located on the top instead of the front, causes a loss in volume and clarity of recordings. Indoor lighting conditions can lead to grainy video.
The Sony Handycam DCR-SX44 is a mid-cost camcorder. This camcorder has a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with a powerful 60x optical zoom (and 2000x digital zoom), allowing it to capture extremely tight shots even from far away.
