Question: Is there an input or output for an external light?
Document: so save a few hundred (or thousand) for those. Included battery lasts for almost 2 hours of use.Overall a very nice machine, with a lot going for it. I'm very happy to own it, and I'm using it frequently with minimal problems thus far. I wish it had firewire output and a headphone jack, but it's great even without it.
Advantages:1. No tapes or mini-DVD's; record straight onto hard drive2. Many hours on the hard drive, even in HQ3. Beautiful colors & resolution4. Easy to delete and edit clips5. Records standard MPEG video (easily edited/manipulated)Disadvantages:1. No firewire output to computer (USB only; see below.)2. No headphone output3. Included software easy, but not powerful4.
It seems silly that Sony is abandoning firewire output on this machine, just like Apple has abandoned it on the newest Ipods. Sucks for me; though my computer is a great but oldish HP with fast Pentium 4 processing, it only has USB 1.1 support. For most of you, though, importing via USB 2.0, it should be quite fast.2. Sound recording is very good, but I wish the camcorder had a headphone port. Oh, well.
*The zoom button feels flimsy, I am concern that it would break. *Sony should give better software with this camera. *The battery has to be charged with the camera plug in, external charger is an option. *The blue tooth microphone is a plus; it is very clear. Great to record school events where the kids are up on stage and the camera is way at the back of the theater (which sometimes can be very noisy).
(Because if you are a new dad, the LAST thing you want to do is lose the pictures/movies of a new mom's babies!! )For example, I have an external USB hard drive that I plug into my computer to make a backup of everything on the camcorder. After that, I use the one-button feature to burn to DVD. (I generally don't back up directly to my computer, since that will just clog up the hard drive rather quickly.)
There is a light that functions as a flash in camera mode, but filming in low light situations is not recommended unless you use the nightshot feature which films with IR not in color. I highly recommend upgrading to a larger capacity battery to reduce recharging breaks although the camera does recharge in less than 2 hours.
The SR100 has a built in flash and much better resolution for stills than the SR60. The SR100 also has the upgraded Zeiss T* lens which has a special coating for increased light diffusion performance. One big difference is that the SR100 has a viewfinder and the SR40, SR60 and SR80 do not, this can prove invaluable in very bright, daylight situtions.
But if you are not bothered about editing and want to watch your unedited footage forever, then go for it.That said, if you still think you want to go for this camcorder, please read the review on its other features:1. Super NightShot Infrared System: Not a useful feature. Its amazining to initially see how this camcorder is able to "see" using infrared light.
First of all great Camcorder. Quality is great even in low light. Transfer to my PC is easy and quick. Overall the best camcorder I've used.So why 3 stars? Simple, Sony has a poor policy when it comes to replacement batteries. Basically in the new models that are being shipped their HDD camcorders will only run on OEM batteries.
They recharge in two hours. As you take pictures the readout is always showing you how much time you have left on the battery.I am sure on my travels I will be taking mostly video and also still pictures with my 6 megapixle camera but a lot less of those than before.This camera also takes still pictures and it also has a flash. They seem to be good quality when viewed on the TV.For pictures when it is very dark, it has an infrared light.
Answer: Yes. On top of the camcorder there is a small lid; open it and you will find a hot shoe where you will be able to connect the external light.
