Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research
 

Sony's DCR-SR87 makes it a snap to capture crisp, detailed home movies. It features an 80-gigabyte hard drive that can store up to 56 hours of footage, and a built-in memory card slot for optional Memory Stick® PRO Duo™ cards. Plus, this compact Sony camcorder comes with plenty of user-friendly extras to help you take great-looking movies you'll love to watch.

Vivid picture and engaging surround sound
The 'SR87 uses a large, one-megapixel image sensor to give you sharp-looking detail in your videos and still images. A high-quality Carl Zeiss® lens ensures clear, accurate colours in every shot. Record in Dolby Digital® 5.1-channel audio using the built-in zoom mic, and you can experience engaging surround sound from DVD copies of your movies when you play them back through your home theatre system. To create DVDs of your footage with 5.1-channel sound, simply connect the 'SR67 to your computer via USB and use the included editing software, or connect it to Sony's VRD-MC5 DVD recorder (not included) for one-touch DVD burning.

Convenient recording and playback
Turn on the camcorder simply by opening up the LCD screen, and use the "Easy Handycam" button for fully automatic, worry-free shooting. An additional set of record and zoom buttons on the LCD frame give you more control, especially when you're filming from overhead or at an angle. When you're ready to review your footage, use the "film roll" button and "face index" feature to preview thumbnails of multiple scenes on the LCD screen for an easy-to-search index, or to locate scenes that have a certain subject in them, like your child or spouse. It's a truly easy way to find the footage of your loved ones.

Reviewer: Ken from Lancaster, PA  
This camcorder does everything I expected.  It is easy to set up, use, and download, including to my Apple computer.  Moving action is excellent with minimal blurring when the camera moves.  The 25x telephoto range is incredible, and allows for superb long range recording, whether at competitive events or in the field during wildlife recording.  The 1 megapixal recording on the high quality setting is more than adequate for my amateur needs, and does not consume the recording media of the camera or the CD's of my recordings.  A good balance of hardware at a reasonable price.
