Sony DCR-SR80 Review at CamcorderInfo
CamcorderInfo reviews the Sony DCR-SR80 and writes, “The DCR-SR80 performs as well as an entry-level DVD camcorder, which is hardly good enough to earn your dollars. Not only that, but you have to pay for the privilege of owning a new-ish technology, which always fattens the bill. We like the convenience of HDD, and we’re certain that it’s the next direction for camcorders, but until the manufacturers make it worth the price, there’s little reason to invest. The DCR-SR80’s great strengths are its size and its simplicity. Camcorders don’t get simpler than this (excluding the stripped down DCR-SR40). We also like the large, 60GB HDD and the analog-to-digital pass through. But the video performance was so poor that we have to recommend either considering the DCR-SR100 or abandoning HDD altogether. The under-$1000 market is not ready to earn your trust, or our vote.”
