Sony Handycam DCR-PC109 ... DCR-PC109 MiniDV Handycam is the perfect camcorder for people who demand quality and convenience. Featuring a large 2.5" hybrid SwivelScreen LCD display, Super NightShot Plus infrared recording system, Super SteadyShot image stabilization, and a big 1.0 megapixel Advanced HAD imaging device, the DCR-PC109 provides all the punch of a camera twice its size. Combined with Memory Stick DUO media, it even doubles as a digital camera, able to take pictures as large as 1152 x 864 pixels.

What really sets it apart from the competition, though, is its innovative Handycam Station, which provides quick and easy connection between the camcorder and your TV, VCR, or computer. Now, viewing your footage is easier than ever before. Plus, it provides power to the camcorder and charges the battery while you wait, assuring you a full charge whenever you use it.

I have spoken to Sony who are helpful but we can't seem to resolve the problem of transfering everything over. Overall, it's been a nightmare and I'd avoid it!...more

It cost just over £200 and came well wrapped in bubble wrap and a box. The camera is designed to be compact and has a 40 x optical zoom. It also has an LCD touch screen. The battery can last up to 9 hours and has an "easy to use" function. It is quite small, can virtually fit in the palm of your hand and takes mini dvd disks to store the recording on to. It is easy to use (although I think there are still more functions I am yet to discover!) and lightweight so you hardly ... Read the complete review
