Sony DCR-HC19E

Fairly light and easy to use.

Cannot find out how to transfer tape footage onto DVD.If I had known how difficult it would be,I would not have bought it.

easy to use, nice features and look.

little battery life. I was expecting more. when I captured video as mp3, video quality was not good I dont know if it was software problem. I used Sonic Digital LE. Anyone wanna suggest me what software should I use to capture the video at best quailty...

Sony DCR-HC19E

There is a very good video camera, very portable and the image is very good, very handy indeed.

The problem I saw with this camera is that the battery life is just for 3 and a half hours.

Sony DCR-HC19E

Easy cam mode makes this a point and shoot camera but quite sophistocated in manual mode.Loads of features for the price and it fits snugly into the palm of my hand.USB connection and DV out.

No memory card slot for stills.I did'nt want that feature but others might.It does take a still image on tape and an acceptable print can be obtained.
