Sony’s Handycam DCR SR200 is a reliable choice in the microdrive category, backed by the Sony brand and several appealing features not found in many other flash drive camcorders. Sony Handycam DCR SR200 helps beginners feel proficient with out-of-the-box filming and offers more storage than its competitors. That means you can film for hours without transferring your footage to a computer.

Sony builds in features resulting in better footage like their ClearVid CMOS Sensor making for exceptional image stability. The Carl Zeiss lens, the Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, 40GB recording capacity, and Sony’s HDD Smart Protection System to help prevent data loss if the camera is dropped or otherwise damaged, are designed to anticipate consumer needs and provide great results.

Experts applaud Sony for their design features like Easy mode that make filming for the first time intuitive and frustration free. Not surprisingly, the Sony Handycam DR SR200 is faulted for its lack of manual controls and low light performance. Customers who are using this camera like the responsive zoom, image stabilizing function and terrific sound quality. Users confirmed the experts’ opinions of the unsatisfactory low light performance.

It’s unanimous: the Sony Handycam DCR SR200 Flash is one of the best choices available today in the microdrive market with exceptional storage, ease of use and superior sound quality.

Improved video performance, excellent stills quality, extremely easy to use...Disappointing selection of manual controls, so-so low-light performance...New for 2007, the Sony DCR-SR200 is a step down from the top-of-the-line DCR-SR300, but this is by no...

Take it out of the box, charge it and use it...The battery life lasted longer than advertised, at about two hours between charges for filming...I love this camera and I am glad I made the step up from the SR82, you will be too......
