Expanded Product Features
Expanded Product Features
  • 2.7" Clear Photo LCD (230 K) display
    The 2.7" Clear Photo LCD (230 K) display provides exceptional viewing clarity with 123K pixels resolution. The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. The convenient touch panel allows easy access to menus and additional functionality such as spot focus and spot metering.
  • 1/8" advanced HAD CCD imager
    A 1/8" advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD imager provides stunning detail and clarity for exceptional video and still image performance.
  • Film roll/face index
    With film roll index, the camcorder previews the beginning of scenes and creates scene indexes set at specified display intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes). Face index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected in each scene. When it's time to play back video, simply search for what you want by selecting from among the detected faces displayed in the index.
  • Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with SteadyShot
    The DCR-SR68 features a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens designed specifically for compact camcorders. Precision ground optics help maintain the sharpness and contrast of larger lenses, and SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce blur caused by camera shake.
  • Face Detection
    Face Detection technology recognizes up to 8 faces anywhere in the frame and automatically adjusts exposure to help capture faces brightly and clearly.
  • 60x optical/2000x digital zoom
    60x optical zoom help you capture close-up action while keeping your distance. In addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming (up to 2000x) is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.

Your camcorder can also access videos stored on the external hard drive for playback on your HDTV, allowing you to utilize the camcorder's handy playback features.
  • Dolby Digital stereo recording with built-in zoom microphone
    The built-in zoom microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects with the camera's zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialog and crisp, discrete sounds.
  • Record and zoom controls on LCD
    The DCR-SR88 features an additional set of record and zoom buttons on the LCD screen, giving you more control and flexibility when holding the camcorder, especially in overhead or low angle shots.

Reviews & Research

CNET Editors' reviewGood

  • THE GOOD

    Simple operation; 60x zoom lens; 80GB hard drive; small.

  • THE BAD

    "Soft, noisy video; noticeable fringing on subjects; image stabilization is electronic only; no mic or headphone jacks."

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    "Sony's Handycam DCR-SR68 (and larger-capacity SR88) offers up ample storage and a megazoom lens at a reasonable price; one look at the standard-definition video, though, and you might regret not spending a bit more for an HD model."

Great little camera! I like it.

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Great little camera! I like it.
Battery only lasts one hour...so I bought a bigger one which lasts 10 hours!!!
Still picture quality is ok....good enough for taking a quick picture.....love that I can get a still picture off of the video though.
For sporting events you need to stabilize with a tripod.
Love the built in hard drive....I will never have to use memory cards again! with 80 GB.

Quality

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

I am very impressed by the quality of this camera. I bought this for my inlaws and they love it. My brother-inlaw and sister-inlaw have purchased the same camera as well. My husband and I are thinking about replacing our Canon that we bought last year with this Sony.

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Comprei para reposição e não nunca havia usado, então ainda não tenho uma informação adequada da filmadora.
Também não tinha outra filmadora anteriormente.
recomendo a compra em razão das informações de amigos que asseguraram ser uma boa filmadora.
