Housing a 60GB hard disk drive, the DCR-SR80 is ideal for storing massive amounts of video and still images. With a 1-megapixel still capture feature, you can create pictures in 16:9 format and save them directly to the hard disk drive. 12x optical/800x digital zoom makes sure everything you shoot through the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens is vibrant, clear, and true to life.

CNETSony’s Handycam DCR-SR80 is a respectable hard-drive-based camcorder if you don’t mind its touch-screen interface. |

Camcorderinfo.comThe DCR-SR80’s great strengths are its size and its simplicity. Camcorders don’t get simpler than this (excluding the stripped down DCR-SR40). We also like the large, 60GB HDD and the analog-to-digital pass through. But the video performance was so poor that we have to recommend either considering the DCR-SR100 or abandoning HDD altogether. The under-$1000 market is not ready to earn your trust, or our vote. |
