Daniel MaloneThis Sony Camcorder offers a tremendous advantage to other older Sony models. The Sony DCR-H46 is an excellent camcorder for the average family. The Sony DCR-HC46 comes with all the features you would expect from a Sony Camcorder in this price range. |

LAPTOP MagazineIt’s the most expensive MiniDV camcorder in this group, but the Sony DCR-HC46 offers features found in none of the others here. |

CNETSony’s top midlevel MiniDV camcorder delivers quality video that is worth the step up from its less-expensive siblings. |

Camcorderinfo.comIt offers all the convenience that hallmark a Sony, but the video had some drawbacks. The Canon Elura 100 gives the HC46 its tightest competition, and we have to place our favor with the Elura. It’s cheaper, it has better video, and it offers more options, including a mic input. For many shoppers, it’s a Sony or nothing world, but we urge you to shop smart and consider the Elura 100 before you buy. |

Consumer GuideWhile the Sony DCR-HC46 is certainly not inexpensive, it is a compact MiniDV camcorder that handles comfortably and, for a unit in this class, performs extremely well. |
