High quality with excellent features
This product is a great camcorder. Small, compact, lightweight...it is very easy to hold and operate. The recorded picture is high quality. Playback is easy to view on the LCD screen or hooked up to a TV. The sound quality is excellent, as is the 40X zoom.Lire l'avis complet...

Love this camera..only one thing missing
This camera does about everything I need. I only need basic operations for the filming I do. The only thing I wish it had was an ability to take still photographs. If it does then it is complicated and I haven't found it yet. Now I love Sony camcorders and those are the ONLY camcorders I will use. If you are looking for a small, light weight camcorder any of the HC models will do the trick. Those of us who have used Sony camcorders for several years, there are things about the TR & TRV's I like better. The smaller the camcorder the harder it is, even with imagae stabilization to hold the camera steady, with the TR & TRV's this was not such as issue. The TR & TRV's had a little more weight to them which made for clearer steady video. The smaller HC's tend to take a bit more time to get steady but the picture quality is very good. I love the Carl lenses, the lense cover being operated by a switch and no more trying to keep up with the dang things. Overall this is a great camera which will handle most any video need.Lire l'avis complet...
More photo images of camera's abilities to shoot.
In general Sony makes great consumer products that have quality value and can rate as semi professional with less gadgets to handle (i.e. automatic focusing, controlling shaky movements, zooming very far distances, small & light)
However, this camera in above image had no battery & I was unable to close it's door to operate it. There was a mini-tape that got stuck. I pulled/forced it out. Then the door would not close. There were not enough photos showing if camera could work when turned on. If the door does not close then I'm unable to video anything. It is best to have a camera image showing an image through its lens for the purchaser to know if camera is functional.

In the hands of a child or video professional, this is a great camera.
The sound quality is what you would expect from a built in mic, but the lack of alternate audio input sources means you don't have the opportunity to improve upon this.
Using the camera is practically idiot proof, and if it's not easy enough, it also offers an EASY mode which the average child can use. The battery life isn't fantastic, but you can get higher capacity batteries. These stick out further than the original battery and therefore aren't as aesthetically pleasing.
I have a battery that offers about 10 hours run time, but sticks out so far as to make the eyepiece unusable. To me this doesn't matter as I always use the LCD rather than the eyepiece anyway as the eyepiece is all plastic (no rubber shield) and is uncomfortable to use. With an optional IEEE 1394 cable (not included), the unit can be easily controlled by the most powerful video editing software available for PC or MAC. The Night Shot mode works well, although of course the video becomes monochrome - however it has the advantage (or disadvantage) of making some types of fabric/clothing transparent. I discovered this one night shooting my fiancée dancing at a late night bar! The optics are top notch as one would expect of Carl Zeiss. The touchscreen LCD rotates 90 degrees in one direction allowing you to point the camera at the ground and still have the LCD facing you, and flips a full 180 degrees in the opposite direction combined with automatic LCD inversion so you can point the camera at yourself, and see the LCD right side up when doing so. You can also in this configuration flip the LCD into the "closed" position allowing for easy access to the record, zoom, and other controls while the unit is on a tripod.
You can display a range of information while taping or during playback such as time remaining, battery remaining, time, date, and more - or hide all the information completely. This information can also be output to the AV outputs or hidden so that if you are transferring the video to a computer or other tape, you can have it time stamped etc., or just the raw video. If you don't have an IEEE 1394 (firewire) port on your PC, you can easily purchase a USB video capture dongle for transferring your tapes to the PC for conversion to DVD/Blu-Ray/CD or just to watch or edit on the computer. If your unit should fail, there seems to be no shortage of parts such as the LCD, touchscreen, heads and main board. The brilliantly placed strap goes across the back of your hand and snugs the camera into your palm comfortably. During charging, a quick press of the BATT INFO button lets you see the charge status in terms of %full charge, and recording time available at it's current level. It has a standard 30mm thread for additional lenses and filters, and since adapters like 30mm to 37mm adapter rings are cheap and readily available, the range of options is large. I recommend having a cleaning tape handy at all times, but only use it if you are actually having problems as they can dramatically reduce head life. There is a built in lens cover the closes at the push of a lever, and if the unit is in record mode and it detects complete darkness, the idiot proof firmware will suggest that you may have left it closed on the LCD or viewfinder. A variety of visual effects filters are also built in. This camera is worth the retail price, and at eBay prices, it's an incredible deal.Lire l'avis complet...
Rugged & Just small enough to carry in a pocket
This is a great Mini DV format camcorder! I bought it to replace a faithful, Sony TRV21, Hi-8, camera that has been around the world with me. This new camcorder is small enough that I can carry it in my front, pants pocket! I then carry my Olympus FE-280 in my shirt pocket. So I no longer need a camcorder case when I'm traveling.
Picture quility is great and MiniDV tapes are cheap on E-Bay!
Touch screen is easy to use to select options. Extra large capacity batteries can be purchased (recommended) on E-Bay.
I love this camcorder!Lire l'avis complet...
Sony Handycam DCR HC52
Great product! I love the small size of the unit and it's very easy to use. One dislike is the shakiness when in zoom mode. Need tripod to keep steady.
Good solid camera for the money
Good size and weight. Firewire connected to my PC quickly and easily, I was downloading movies within a half hour. Battery life so far has been good as well. Optical zoom could be better but what should I expect for less than $100. Touch screen controls for playback are slick but hard buttons would have been just as good.Lire l'avis complet...
Handycam great little tool
The Sony Handycam DCR HC52 is a nifty little video camera that gets incredibly clear images for such an inexpensive device. I'm an avid short-film maker and have several popular videos on YouTube. My more expensive Sony finally died in the middle of a project and I wanted something to tide me over until I can buy a camera with all the bells and whistles. This little baby is doing the job beautifully, and it cost me less than $200--almost an expendable piece of equipment at that price. The features it lacks--no headphone connection, no volume control of playback, etc.--aren't things you MUST have to make a decent video, so I couldn't be happier.Lire l'avis complet...
Sony Handycam DCR HC52 - Great Camcorder!!!!
I love this camcorder!!! I purchased, unfortunately, a Samsung SC-DC173 Camcorder, and this Sony is the complete opposite. This camcorder is small enough to carry in my pocket, and the picture and sound quality is awesome.
The touch screen is easy to use, and the battery charge is great. I am very pleased with this camcorder.Lire l'avis complet...
