Easy to Use

Easy to Use

Pressing the Easy Handycam button allows simple 'point and shoot' operation. All the camera settings are automatically controlled to ensure optimum recording and minimal fuss.


Format

Format

Ultra-compact, lightweight and easy to use, the DCRSR32 Handycam records footage onto the camcorder’s 30GB Hard Disk, that’s up to an impressive 20 hours and 50 mins of recording time, which can be easily searched, viewed, or downloaded to a PC.

So what’s the other advantages of hard drive recording? Well;-
Longer shooting times
No tapes or discs to worry about
Various recording speeds
Random access


But that’s not all. The DCRSR32 can also be used for still image recording using a Memory Stick Duo slot located within the body of the camera, so no need to carry a stills camera too.


Zoom

Zoooom

The SR32E opens up dramatic new shooting possibilities with a massive 40x Optical Zoom and 2000 x digital zoom range via the high quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens. A small, powerful lens designed for use in compact cameras and camcorders. Perfect for capturing contrast and colour to produce brilliant,
sharp images.
Wide angle performance has also been improved by 20%: a major bonus whether you’re shooting outdoor scenery or a group of people in a room.


Crash Protection – save your memories

Crash Protection – save your memories

There’s only one chance to capture special moments when they happen, and HDD Handycam adopts a two-fold HDD Smart Protection strategy to safeguard against the inadvertent loss of precious pictures. A physical shock absorber protects the drive against physical jarring and bumps during operation, while 3G sensor detects abrupt motion in three dimensions to distinguish accidental drops from other body movements. Video stream buffering also ensures that recording continues smoothly.


Display

A generous 2.5’’ colour LCD screen with touch panel display makes shooting even easier.


Power

Longer record times, more STAMINA:
The DCRSR32 Handycam keeps on shooting when other camcorders give up! You'll get a running time of up to 90 - 100 minutes in continuous recording mode from the supplied NPFH40 battery. For the maximum battery life of up to 10 hours, Sony recommends using the optional new-generation H-Series InfoLITHIUMTM battery NPFH100 giving up to 10 hours of power, giving you plenty of time to capture that special day or event.


Handycam Station – the easy way to enjoy your results at home

Handycam Station – the easy way to enjoy your results at home

After shooting, there’s no need to fiddle with cables when you want to store, edit and enjoy the results at home. Supplied with all HDD models, Handycam Station can be linked permanently to a TV via its analogue connector, while the Hi- Speed USB port allows direct digital connection to a PC. It also doubles as a
charger – just drop in your Handycam and power up while enjoying your new shots. One-Touch Disc Burn function is now 1.5x faster, allowing an hour’s worth of video to be recorded onto DVD using a connected PC in around 20 minutes.


Super Steady Shot & Nightshot

Super SteadyShot & Nightshot

SteadyShot is the inbuilt technology which reduces ‘handshake’, giving more stable images. Nightshot enables you to take close-up shots even in extremely poor light conditions.


Pictbridge Direct Print

Pictbridge Direct Print

Pictbridge allows images to be printed directly from digital camera to a printer, without having to connect the camera to a computer.
PictBridge-capable printers typically have a USB Type A port which is then connected by cable to the USB port of a PictBridge-capable digital camera (typically a Type Mini-B). The user then uses the camera to select the pictures to print, which the printer then retrieves from the camera and prints.

    1st time experience5
    I read all the reviews for this product,and have never owned one,so i was apprehensive to select the best one for price..I didnt have a clue of what to do...When i got the cam,i foud it extremely,light and small,and after charging the battery,supplied,after 2 hours,I was up and running..After reading the set up instructions etc,I found the menu etc,easy to navigate..And with all the different settings,on easy mode..it did most of the settings....It was easy to put on pc,and the same for play back on the tv..In all i would reccommend this product to anybody,from begginer to somebody who has knowledge of these..Its agreat cam for the price and im having great fun with it....Well done to all the people who have given there reviews,it made the experience for me very helpfull..

    150 pounds a year to rent?? Brilliant.5
    This may seem odd that this is a 5 star review, however this is an EDIT of the original review, which I cannot adjust. When I first bought this I gave it a 5 star review as it ticked all of the boxes. 2 years on however and it has broken. The LCD display is now mostly yellow and Sony are unwilling to help. Apparently this is a common fault with the swivelling LCD and the fragile ribbon cable inside.

    £300 for a product that lasts 2 years from a company that are unwilling to even 'examine' the 'mint condition' unit does not make for a superb customer experience. Perhaps obviously the replacement will not be a Sony, in fact I doubt anything I buy will be Sony from now on.

    Hugely disappointed.
    Zero stars.

    Pound for pound, this is a winner!5
    I had the original JVC everio MC100 which was tiny, but unfortunately it is coming to the end of its life and there were several things I wanted to improve on - storage, low light filming, etc.

    Well after researching, the comments seem to all agree that in the price range this is superior to JVC and I am happy so far.

    With a very small and lightwieght chassy, you still get a feeling that this is built well and is very sturdy.

    The interface is touch face and easy enough to use. In addition, my favourite feature was unexpected. On the top there is a switch for lowlight filming. But the suprise in the menu was a nightlight. Turns out it has an invisible infrared lamp. So a quick test in a pitch black room and it works - amazing!

    Of course there are weaknesses. The quality is good, but not HD by any stretch and with supplied battery, you are not filming any epics, but easily fixable. And because Sony, no SD cards, justg Memory stick.

    But all in all, with Amazon's great price, this is a winner.

    And a final word - I ordered at 5pm and had the item from Amazon 11am the next day.
