The Sony HDR-SR5 handycam 40 GB nightshot videocamera is a great paranormal investigation tool.It allows you to capture still images while recording video.It also gives you 5 full hours of video on the highest quality setting.Theres a Memory stick Pro Duo slot for additional memory,which I use to store the still pictures I take,allowing the full hard drive space available for my video.The hot shoe adapter can accomodate a zoom or shotgun mic or a number of different lights.I personally don't have a docking station yet,but I know it makes PC connection and charging possible simultaneously.I just use a USB attachment or sometimes I like to review my footage on my flatscreen HDTV,which looks great,of course.This handycam is a little heavier than most,but thats the weight of the hard drive,which will save the trouble of buying tapes,discs,or memory cards.Crisp video and still pics.Bright nightshot,which I further supplement with a Phantom Lite infra-red pro light(also heavier than a sony IR light but much brighter).I'd love to buy the latest sony nightshot available,but don't have five to six hundred dollars to do so.This cam is just as good,just a little heavier.I believe it's one of the best Sony handycams ever made,for paranormal investigation anyway.I've seen them here on E-bay for no less than three hundred dollars new,but it's worth every penny if you can find one of these handycams.I consider myself very fortunate to have won an auction for $243.00 used.This cam will stay in my arsenal until I transfer to spirit myself.Read full review
This HDR-SR5 with 40GB is really a quality camcorder still at 3yrs old in used condition. The night vision is great for anyone into paranormal or "Looking for Bigfoot". Do buy a larger battery though and for expanded, better night viewing, buy a separate IR led light. ( This cam works awesome with these wave lengths! Yes, 100ft and still visible to a lesser degree!) Do your own editing on the cam itself and take the pro memory stick into walmart. You can go to the Sony web site for handbooks and software if not included. E-bay is safe. Amazon, or etc., is not for used electronics!!!I
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I purchased this item for use in my paranormal group. I needed a night vision camera. It lived up to it's name. Plus the added wide lens and all the attachments make it easy to film our investigations. The battery life is fantastic, plus it came with 2 batteries. It has a good mic and great steady shot. Any Ghost Hunters out there, I would pic one of these up ASAP.
I had one of these that I had used for 5 years that I accidentally damaged. While looking for a replacement I found no better value for the money. Fortunately I was able to purchase this used one very reasonably. My old one still works if I treat it gingerly so now I can capture two angles from matching cameras.
