| ahaskett's Full Review: Sony Handycam DCR-PC5 Mini DV Camcorder |
I received this camera as a Christmas gift and I have been delighted with it. I was looking for something that would help me record our daughter's first year of life. It is much smaller than you would anticipate which makes it very easy to transport. It fits easily in a purse or a backpack so I am much more likely to carry it with me than if I had purchased a larger model. The basic features of the camera are easy to operate, although I know there are a lot of complex features that I have not yet begun to master. The camera easily attaches to a tripod. On Christmas morning, however, I attached it to the tripod improperly and the camera fell about 5 feet to the floor. It survived the fall without a problem. This camera does digital video as well as still photography, however you have to manually switch from one mode to the other (i.e. you cannot take still photos while recording video). The only problem I have had with the camera so far is that the instruction manual lacks detail and I have had to spend a lot of time "figuring things out". All together I think this is the perfect camera for an active family.
