    Sony's Best HandyCam for under $600.00

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 27, 2006 | 16 out of 20 found this Sony DCR-HC32 review helpful

    Pros: Everything

    Cons: Can't find any

    Sony handyCam This is the DCR-HC32 and it’s a great camera. This is one of the best handycams iv ever used. I used a dvd camera a wile back and it sucked. The recording on the 1 hour is so snowy its like using a camera phone only paying $600.00. In... the 30 min mode it was fine but then that’s not much time to film anything now days. I like to film a lot of footage and then cut out what I don’t like. This Cam is so easy to use I just plug it into the IEEE port and use windows movie maker and 1,2,3, its done. The camera came with a docking station which at first I thought was kinda dombe but the folks at sony got it right. It makes it easy to just place it on your desk and if your not using it just turn the base off and it undocks from the computer. In all im happy to have got it over the others I tried. If your in the market for a small cam this is a awesome one to get. In the stor on the display it looked a little big but you get it off the security cord and its just the right size for any hand. Cons: I don’t have one right now but as soon as I find one ill let everyone know. Read more Less

    Great Camera, lots of fun

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 13, 2005 | 14 out of 20 found this Sony DCR-HC32 review helpful

    Pros: Features, zoom, Memory Stick Duo slot, Supernightshot Plus

    Cons: Battery life could be longer

    I have wanted a video camera for a long time, so when I procured a good amount of graduation money, I decided to save it, and while looking around for the right camera, I found this one and had to have it, so after failing to recieve financing I deci...ded to use all of my money to buy one. This is a great camera, fun to play around with, a lot of awesome features, and an all out great buy. I would recomend this camera to every body, and if not this particular camera, I tell them to at least keep Sony Handycam on their short list. NOW I DEMAND YOU, BUY THIS AWESOME CAMERA! Ha ha, just kidding! Read more Less

    like dcr-hc21 model better - touch screen faulty

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 27, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Sony DCR-HC32 review helpful

    Pros: lots of options, can take still shots

    Cons: most navigating is through touch screen

    My friend has the hc21 model and I liked it so well that I thought I would buy the next upgrade up since many features are the same. First of all the docking system is a pain,I'd rather connect directly to camera than have the extra stuff to carr...y around. When transferring video to computer you have to go through a ton of prompts through the menu on your touch screen. It was complicated to me. The hc21 you connect the USB cord directly to camera and it automatically downloads to computer with one or two prompts only (on computer, not camcorder). Now, my touch screen is faulty (I've had mine a little over a year). Because you navigate almost EVERYTHING through the touch screen, I can't rewind (other than using remote). and I cannot download anything. The only thing I can do is record and then I have to borrow my friends sony camcorder to do any editing/downloading. Sony only has a 90 day labor warranty and one year for parts. I have hardly used mine and now look at $229 for repairing it. Look around, the more options, the more things to go wrong and then the whole thing is useless. Read more Less

    Great product, worthless service from Sony

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 11, 2007 | 1 out of 2 found this Sony DCR-HC32 review helpful

    Pros: Great camera

    Cons: Don't lose your drivers or it's worthless

    Camera worked great, but if you lose your drivers or upgrade to Vista the camera can not connect to your PC. Sony does not provide the drivers, you have to rebuy them. I believe Vista only works with thier proprietary iLink, which again is a fee vs. ...USB. Read more Less
