Review: Fantastic value from a top brand - This is my first camcorder, having resisted buying one before due to the high cost to purchase a well built, reliable model. There can be no question of the value of this camcorder - it is well worth the price it is selling for on the high street, and with desertcart giving a good discount on this (at £290) it is frankly superb value. As a novice user, everything is straightforward and logical to use and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the picture (from both in and outdoors) shown when played back on a TV screen (with the cable provided). The mini DV format seems to be the best available at the moment until memory stick technology improves and allows the removal of a tape altogether. The battery supplied is small (and keeps the whole camera very light), and has given me sufficent charge for a days tourist videoing (about 35 mins of recording, with lots of standby time). I have marked the camera down to four stars for only one reason - as an entry level camera I think it should at least come with a tape, and perhaps a basic case (as nearly all digital cameras do), so that you can start to use it straight away; at most this would have pushed the price up by a few pounds, if at all. As it is you should add tapes, a case and perhaps a battery to your shopping list. Thoroughly recommended.
Review: Small, superb quality from SONY - If this camera displeases anyone, then they have no idea what they are talking about and shouldnt be using a camcorder in the first place. The camera is so compact it makes you wonder how they manage to fit in all the features and maintain the high quality. Easy to use from the box, has USB lead (for webcamming and transferring video data) aswell as a scart convertor for the Phono A/V leads (also supplied). Battery life is superb (around an hour and a half of recording, with days and days of standby time). The only gripe is that there should be a headphone socket for quiet "alone time" playback, however inserting headphones midway into the A/V output achieves stereo headphone sound (strictly not meant to be done, but WORKS!) This unit even plays back NTSC (American) recordings in full colour, even on non NTSC televisions!...a godsend for me as my last camera was from America and I was sure I was going to have to tape over all my old recordings. Buy this camera NOW, your friends and family will love it as a present. This camera is FAR cheaper than I would happily pay. Its up there with the models in the £500+ region.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall Good Buy
*by C***S on 2 October 2004*

I bought my HC15E prior to my holidays in August. It has proved, overall, to be an excellent with great picture and sound quality (as you would expect from Sony). The feature list is also far better than you would expect for the money. The only minor let downs were the rather poor manual (which constantly assumes you have a Sony VAIO PC!) and the software (which kept crashing my PC until I discovered in the manual's small print that it is actually incompatible with the HC15E). These irritations aside the hardware is excellent value for money and well recommended.
