 Very good camcorder Mar 22, 2008
By M. Mohideen
I bought this camcorder after a lot of research and I'm glad I made the right choice. The only camcorder comparable with SR65 was the JVC MG330 or MG360. JVC 330/360 has less than 1 mega pixels and the price difference between the two was not much and I found it was worth spending on the extra resolution for better video quality.
Video Quality : Very Good. I ve taken video Outdoors and Indoors. On burning and playing it on 27 inch flat tube Sony TV, it proves to be very close to or almost DVD quality, especially for outdoor .
Audio Quality : Dolby Digital. Very good sound quality.
Camera Menus : Easy and Intuitive
Ergonomics : Pretty small. Easy to handle and buttons are easy reachable.
Still Image : I would not care to take still image using this, it s as good as taking pictures on a cell or PDA.
Zoom : 25x is good enough. Anything above that would be difficult to hold it steady, unless you would be using a tripod.
As long as you re not looking to spend over $800 for a High-Def quality for which you need to have High-Def LCD, High-Def burner, HDMI and the entire package, this camera is just perfect for the low $500 range.

Excellent camcorder Mar 27, 2008
By Serdar Ulker
I just bought this camcorder. I used sony dcr sr 40 and dcr sr 42 before. I can say that this camcorder is perfect comparing to other two. If you want a better one you should buy a high definition camcorder with a higher price. The only cons: you cannot expect to take high quality pictures with it. This is a common problem in most of the camcorders.

Great Camcorder Sep 04, 2008
By E. Mercieca
"E.Mercer"
This is a great camcorder. Everytime I need electronics the first brand I look for is sony and I have never been dissappointed. This Camcorder has great picture and sound quality,and you can't beat the price offered by Amazon so don't bother looking at other sites. It is very easy to use and very compact. The hard disk is incredible and the screen is crystal clear. I do recommened buying the bag and battery package also,I did and don't regret it. The battery that comes with the camcorder last for about an hour and a half while the battery that comes with the package last around 3 hours.
The only dissappointment I had was that I paid for 3 day delivery and UPS delivered 4 days after the scheduled delivery date. Amazon did appoligize on UPS's behalf and refunded me the shipping costs. Great customer service on Amazon's part.

Best little camcorder I have ever used. Apr 26, 2009
By Connie Hulett Erickson
I had been wanting to upgrade my 15 year old camcorder for some time, and since I no longer have small children at home anymore, I kept putting off making the final step. A co-worker had a Sony Hanycam at work on day and we had a ball with it. I began watching the sales on this amazing little creature and finally found the Sony Handycam SR65 on Amazon.com. Right out of the box it performed amazingly well with video's so awesome I was kicking myself for putting off the upgrade for as long as I did.
There is only one problem that I have found, and it isn't really with the quality of the camera or the video's but with how the camera records the video; when you push the record button and record then stop the recording, it records in "clips". You can put the clips together on the video camera but when you transfer them to your computer using the software, the "clips" will not stay together, it is actually transferred in "clips" as they were recorded. I've spend a little time going over the software and cannot find a way to permanently keep those clips together on my computer.
Otherwise, it is an amazing camcorder and I will use it for years to come with no regrets; with Amazon's great price on this camera I am definitely a happy camper and would not hesitate to recommend this camera to anyone who was looking for a great family camcorder.

Exactly what I was looking for Apr 02, 2009
By J. E. Davis
With two sons and an old sony MiniDv that had died, I decided to look for a new one. I saw that many models from all the big brands were coming out March and April this year, so I decided to wait. I wanted a HDD camcorder, that was small and light weight. The hard drive didn't need to be super big, as I only have so much space on my computer.
After going through all the new models and remembering how happy I was with my previous Sony camcorder, I decided to look mainly at the Sony ones. Imagine my surprise when I saw that as of this year they no longer have Super NightShot. It is a silly feature that I just use for fun, but one that I always enjoyed.
After looking at all the new features and comparing them to this camera, I decided this one was the better deal for me. So far it has been a great little camcorder. I have little hands and have no problem shooting while doing stuff. The footage has been great in various light conditions, the battery life is very good, the mic pics up sound well without getting too much background noise, even on a windy day outside and the Super NightShot Infrared System is awesome. Plus, the price is great. I'm sad Sony discontinued it, but happy I was able to grab one before they disappeared from market.
