 Terrible wind noise, dead camera December 15, 2009
John Ferree (Central NC)
I've used the Sony DCR-SR200 for two years taking travel videos all over North America, Antarctica, Cuba and Hawaii. My wife and I are birders, so most of my shots are outside. The picture quality is exceptional in sunlight but becomes grainy as the light fades. Also, typically, the camera's auto focus functions badly in low light. It is relatively easy to carry around and uncomplicated to use.
My biggest complaint has been the sound quality. Under perfect conditions the sound is excellent for a camera of this type, with good stereo separation and clarity even at a distance. If you intend to use the camera inside, you will probably be quite pleased. If, however, the wind is blowing at all it produces a rapid, loud and extremely annoying "clatter" that drowns out everything else. The same noise often occurs when shooting out an airplane window, from busses and especially inside helicopters - perhaps produced by engine vibrations. It is really bad and no amount of bandaids, gauze or other material taped over the mike helped. There is no connection for an external mike.
Last month, I took the camera to Hawaii's Big Island for a couple of weeks that included a visit to the top of Mauna Loa - 13,000 feet up. Shortly after that, the screen began rolling for a minute or so after I turned it on but, when the rolling stopped, it worked fine. Now, the rolling is continuous and the camera is completely non-functional. For the record, the "Operating Guide" specifically warns against using the camera above 9,000 feet - although I didn't notice the warning until too late. Interestingly, I had used the camera several times far above 9,000 feet in the Rockies with no problem.
I have edited all my videos using Adobe Premier Elements on a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista - a slow process involving several frustrating software glitches, having to reverse the field dominance, long rendering and encoding sessions, and just waiting for the computer to complete routine editing tasks. But, the finished videos (some more than 90 minutes with lots of titles and transitions and added music) look really good.
Sony wants $271 to fix it. If the sound quality was better under the windy conditions I usually use the camera, I would consider spending the money but, given its audio shortcomings, I'm going to look for something else.
 Favorite camera November 28, 2009

This is the best camera I have ever owned. The pics are perfect every time. I love it & highly recommend it.
 Sony HDR XR-200 Hates Mac May 22, 2009

Mac has been the preferred video platform over PC for years, yet Sony refuses to support Mac. I purchased a Sony HDR XR-200 and the software that came with it works only with Windows. Sony lets you do a work-around, but it is a total pain. I plan on returning this camcorder tomorrow.
Buena elección May 4, 2009

buen producto, sólido, fácil de operar y manejar... evidentemente la calidad de la imagen es mucho mejor de día que de noche. La calidad de la imagen es muy buena pero mejor es el sonido que graba esta cámara en 5.1 canales.
Recomiendo comprar una batería de respaldo, el cargador de baterías y una lámpara para tomas en la noche u oscuridad total.
No dejen que todos los ajustes los haga la cámara como balance de blancos, enfoque, etc... lo mejor es dar el salto y ajustar uno mismo todo antes de empezar a grabar.

not reliable, good only when it works March 6, 2009
M. Ma
I have had this camcorder for almost 1 year. It suddenly stopped working a few days ago without any clue. We bought it for our baby, the videos were still in it and we don't know how to get them out of it. We called Sony and they don't care about it at all. My baby's birthday party is coming, and we may have to buy a new one. So when you think about buying it, please be careful with its reliability.
