Product Description
The DCR-SR85 Handycam(R) camcorder is ready when you are, with a built-in 60GB Hard Disk Drive for storage and up to 20 hours of recording time (LP). A 2.7" Touch Panel LCD Monitor keeps all the controls at your fingertips, while a 25x Optical, 2000x Digital Zoom keeps all the action up close and personal. The DCR-SR85 brings simplicity back to video sharing. 1/6" Advanced HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 211K effective pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video, up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution and still image performance. The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition the Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms. The 2.7" LCD display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lenses are designed specifically for compact camcorders, and utilize precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness and contrast found with larger lenses.

 Great Value for the Money! February 6, 2008
23 out of 23 found this review helpful
I just received this camcorder (DCR-SR85) and I am very happy with it! It is so small & lightwieght, plus it takes fantastic videos. The videos download very quickly with the included software, and are crisp and clear as any DVD movie that I have (standard definition). I stuggled with all the choices out there, but I am very satified with this product. I use it mostly to document procedures for work, but it is great for home movies also. I think it would be nice to have a larger mega-pixel camera in it (only 1 meg) since it is so small it could easily replace my digital camera also! I also purchased the extended warranty from Sony for only 89.00 (3 years), and an extra battery. This one is a keeper!
 maybe I got a dud... March 1, 2008

Maybe I got a dud, but this camera did not work at all for what I needed. First off, I was not able to use it, because it buffered itself every 20 seconds. I was only able to get about 3 minutes of video before it started buffering. Then, it would buffer about every 20 seconds, resulting in only short snippets of viewable video.
Secondly, the lack of a mic gain setting screwed me. Yes, I was recording in a loud environment. The sound was very distorted and unbearable. This camera needs a function to be able to turn down the mic sensitivity.
Didn't work for me.
Great camcorder April 7, 2008

This is a great camcorder. Having the video written to disk is great. We've had DVD camcorders and watched an entire day's filming at WDW wasted when the DVD wasn't readable when we got back from vacation.
My wife likes using an eye view finder, but this camcorder does not have that. I have glasses so I've always opened it up and viewed it that way while filming. She also doesn't like the fact that you have to open the lens cap by hand, as it doesn't open automatically like our previous DVD camcorder.
We bought this particular model for the 25x Optical zoom, and that works great. The included software is awesome too.

This little hard drive camcorder is awesome! A couple of these reviews are just so ridiculous. Just try it out and you won't be disappointed. The storage is enormous, the battery life is phenomenal and the videos are great! It's fun and easy to use!
 Bad for Editing Movies May 24, 2008
8 out of 17 found this review helpful
Although this is a good price and good picture and has a large hard drive you cannot edit your movies which is why I bought the camera in the first place. Unfortunately we've had it for over a month before we discovered this. I am very disappointed.
