CNET Reviews the Handycam HDR-SR5C

CNET has a review of the Sony Handycam HDR-SR5C 100Gb camcorder. The camera was given an overall ranking of 7.0, equating to very good on the CNET scale. The camcorder has a touch-screen LCD, a 1100Gb HDD, and a 1/3-inch 2.1MP ClearVid CMOS sensor.

The camera can record in 1080i HD and shoot still images as well. The hard drive is large enough for 13 hours of video at full resolution. The good points of the camera were face index feature and a bundled dock. The bad points were no eye-level view-finder, no wind filter, no USB port on camcorder, and a small touchscreen.

The final verdict is that the camera isn’t worth the price due to video quality and performance. Seems odd to say the camera isn’t worth the money, and rate it a 7 to me.
