Sony DCR-DVD108 camcorder
User from reviews-cdn.dell says: It has so many really awesome features and upgradeable lens and stuff...I would so recommend this one to anyone...I have a digital camera that also takes great pics, and a really good photo printer, so for comparsions, I took the same shot with both cameras and could not detect any differences...The little nag that Sony recommends Sony discs when you use anyone elses is a bit annoying...see more

$269.00- $340.50
Sony DCR-HC62 camcorder
User from shopper.cnet says: Sony's camcorder lineup might be very DVD- and hard-drive-heavy this year, but budget-minded tape lovers are still getting some love...While the Handycam DCR-HC52 and DCR-HC62 don't seem nearly as impressive as the upcoming high-def HDR-HC9 DV/HDV camcorder, their much smaller price tags and simpler designs should appeal to frugal users...The HC62 also features a 2.7-inch wide-screen LCD and a 16:9 electronic viewfinder for framing and playing back wide-screen video...The Handycam DCR-HC52 will retail for about $250, and the HC62 for about $300...see more

User from camera.manualsonline says: 1 member is looking for a solution to this problem...I believe the power supply is kaput...I have the AC line voltage capacitor fully charged...see more
