Sony DCR-SR36E

easy to use, small and handy

3 hrs bartery life only, no possibility to make quality pictures - max 1.3 mln pixels... shame but it is a camcorder after all

Very lightweight and easy to use - great for a beginner

Ease of use, lightweight, excellent picture quality, quickstart option is useful and lot of recording space at standard format.

Short battery life.

Small.

Picture not as good as my 15 year old analogue. No viewfinder. Software awkward to use.

Size, weight

Close images are not wide enough.

it's brilliant - at the moment anyway - I've not used it much yet.

I've found nothing bad about my camcorder

Just used it for a fortnight's holiday and haven't read the instructions yet - so it must be easy to use. Battery life is well over an hour, so didn't buy a spare, just recharged overnight. Night-time mode is excellent - have great shots of the kids in the disco.

Like everything else - screen difficult to see in sunlight.

The 40x optical zoom is excellent The 40gb hard disc last for over 20 hours Easy to use

The battery doesn't last very long - 2 hours max (you need to buy a 2nd one and keep it charged up) Picture can be shakey with zoom fully deployed ( you need the tripod !)

quick start up, excellent focus, huge recording capacity and easy to play back through computer.

no view finder.

easy to use,lightweight

battery life not long enough,spare battery expensive

small easy to use, no tapes good memory, goes straight to dvd, over all a great cam

battery life not very good. only bad point i have found so far..

The price of the package which included the camera, bag and stand was extremely reasonably priced, arrived promptly and is extremely easy to use, this is my first video camera. The hard drive storage is fantastic and its good to have the option of a removable storage card too.

Short battery life, sometimes takes a moment to focus, not great white balance

the camcorder is very compact and light.it takes a while to get use to the onscreen menus,but no different to any other hi tech gadget.

My friend recommended his to me and I was hooked straight away! Its easy use, and being light weight is excellent and the quality of picture and film is better than I've seen before.

No bad points as yet.

very small. light, excellent image quality

Screen impossible to see in bright sunlight

Great, easy to use camera.

Little on the ugly side, but hey, who cares at a good price?

Very simple and easy to set up and use

none so far

Light, easy to use, good picture quality - for SD. Sony, so reliable and good customer service.

If you want to film for more than 90 mins get a bigger battery.

Smal land compact, very easy to use. Battery life not the best but can upgrade battery

Cant think of any yet

compact, stylish, very easy to use

very basic software

ITS EASY TO USE AND LIGHTWEIGHT, THE PICTURE QUALITY IS FANTASTIC.

NO REMOTE CONTROL

light weight and easy to carry, ease of operating

battery life, photo image quality

Excellent camcorder. Battery life not that great. Bought another battery as a spare

Batt life not to great

Very easy to use, ready to use, very clear instructions especially with regard to linking to PC, and TV. The disc with tips on filming is especially useful to an armature. Great value.

None-yet.

VALUE FOR MONEY. EASY TO HANDLE.

ALL MY FRIENDS WANT THE SAME ONE.

Great little camcorder ideal for family and basic video

Takes decent still photos.

Can't see the LCD screen in sunleight but this probably applies to most cameras.

Easy to use straight from box. Light. Simple but effective.

Short battery life. Knob hard to see writing.

Very easy to use, especially the touch screen.

Need to upgrade the battery

Easy to use and fit for the purpose of recording those special moments.

Very light and would recommend that a wrist strap should be fitted.

It is just what is needed for the average user.

None that i have found so far.

easy to use having tha touch panel and easy menu fast action when taking a photo obtion for storage having in the same time option for hrd drive and memory stick pro duo high zoom

battery life is to short but we have the option of buying a battery with longer life small lenses, we have to be to far from the object to can take a picture or make a movie

I bought this product for a friend's birthday and she is fairly pleased with it. She has taken it away on a two week cruise so her opinion may change when she has used it fully!!!!!!

good

very light

Sonys good quality

cannot download videos to apple computer

All in all a great buy at great price.

Supplied battery could be of big size to last longer on days out.

Easy to use, lightweight, compact and looks good. Picture quality excellent when not using the zoom facility

Picture quality reduces when using zoom facility and can appear a bit wobbly

I haven't really used it yet but it seems simple enough to use!

Trying to find a battery is hard work - they are all the alternatives you can use but knowing whether they'd work is another thing

All

Small, compact, ease of use

Low battery life, no case

A very good configuration in low price.

easy to set up and use

a detailed manual would have been useful

GOOD CAMERA FOR PRICE

CAN IMPRROVE QUALITY OF PICTURE.

I love the tuch sreen so ease to use , the memery is large I have just been on a horse clinic and filmed ever day for 4 days 3 hours per day with out using up the memery card.

not ,that bad but I would like the zoom to be a little softer some how

The super night vision it is so nice the image quality indoor perfect

Really nice video camera, easy to use, very light! The camera's got loads to offer!

Battery life is poor!

An awesome piece of equipment, light and easy to handle, with amazing picture quality. I took it on holiday and made a fantastic video of all my memories!! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who hasn't used one of these before, the SONY SR36E HDD Camcorder is so easy to use, and is the best thing i have purchased for a long while.

Flexibility. Ease of use. Quality of product.

Battery life.
