Does The Job Efficiently and Nicely

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: Cheap and cheerful. Buy it as your last MiniDV camcorder before you upgrade to HDD or Flash memory. Great for beginners.
Review: The DCR HC52 is one of the entry level models from Sony's 2007 line of MiniDV camcorders.

Personally, with the move towards HDD and eventually solid state storage for video cameras, DV tape is quickly becoming a dying breed and this is...

Easy to Use

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008

Connection Nightmare

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2008
Review: I like the camera fine. However, I've beaten my head against a wall for days trying to download my video. Today I even installed a brand-new firewire card and cable (which works fine for anything else). No programs recognize the attached DV camera,...
