4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little Sony, May 5, 2011

This is not a High Definition model, if it were my review would be quite different but beings it's standard def it's okay.

Okay first there's the light which is little more than a hoax, but it does mean that it might need a light in lowlight conditions. It is very small, and light, flip the 3" LCD & the camera turns on and the lens opens immediately. The battery life is as good as any Sony camcorder and I have an older sony that I used for 2 years & never had to get another battery for it. Can count on at least an hours worth of juice, but you can power it with the ac adapter.

It has no built in memory so you need to buy an SD card, 16GB is good.
It does not have very good manual adjustments, just like all sony camcorders I suppose, but most of you will be using the iAuto anyways.

Some folks think standard definition is dead but it is still used a lot, including all DVD's are not HD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have went with a high def model, April 12, 2011

This review is from: Sony DCR-SX45 Handycam Camcorder (Blue) (Electronics)
Many options to choose from. Menu style is very user friendly. The biggest problem for me was picture quality. I understand this is a standard definition camcorder but in low light or indoors the picture was just to grainy. Outdoors the picture is okay but it could be better. The battery life wears down extremely fast so you must have a backup. Overall I should have paid an extra $200 and bought the CX110 model. I bought it on 4-8-2011 and I returned it 4-12-2011.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just a toy DCR-SX45, August 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I bought it for my friend who requested with her budget. I never know Sony has such a kind of lousy quality camcorder.
Picture quality is the worst I have seen from Sony Camcorder. Very blur when you watch in both computer 23" screen and bigger TV.
Sound quality is so so. No need to mention for the low light. We paid what we got. A lot of noise in low light condition.
I will not recommend this model to anyone.
