SimplyDV Review: Sony DCR-HC96 DV Camcorder
Comments:
Review Verdict: Despite what we've said about external mic and headphone output (which many users might not be bothered with anyhow) the DCR-HC96 is undoubtedly a great starter cam that's ideal for newbies and, of course, attractively priced.
Review Verdict: Despite what we've said about external mic and headphone output (which many users might not be bothered with anyhow) the DCR-HC96 is undoubtedly a great starter cam that's ideal for newbies and, of course, attractively priced.
QuickTake:
Pros: Good sturdy build and handling with tape top-loading, ergonomic design, LCD on-frame controls, full DV and AV input connectivity (incl. S-Video). Large CCD produces nice images, decent 16:9 widescreen
Cons: It's a pity there's no microphone input or headphone output. The omission of both takes the edge off what could be a great starter DV camcorder.
