Review 1 for Sony Handycam SX44 Blue 4GB Flash Memory Camcorder with 60x Optical Zoom
Great camcorder if you acutally know what it is!

First of all, this camcorder isn't HD people! Its only standard definition, also when you edit/convert/save videos, the quality is always reduced. So with that in mind, don't go hoping for HD quality out of a $200, STANDARD DEFINITION CAMCORDER! I had a digital camera before this that shot HD video in 720P. The only reason why I bought this was because it had a LED light, optical zoom, and auto focus, something my digital camera did not have or do when recording. I am a pretty picky person and I can not be happier with the price and video quality.
This camcorder is really quite small and should easily fit in a coat pocket or something like that. Its also very light weight. Both of these were nice because the last camcorder I had was from 2006, things changed a lot since then. The 60X zoom is insane, but when you are getting far out there it becomes shaky as expected. Auto focus seems to work great, and I manage to do about 120 minutes on the included battery. The touch screen works fine and is VERY responsive, you don't have to hit it spot on, so that is nice seeing as its smaller and people with large fingers may use that. The LED light is fairly bright surprisingly, no, its not stadium lamp bright, but very nice for what it is. This camcorder also has 4GB of memory built in and can take SD cards for extra. The Sony PMB is what I use to transfer the videos to my computer AND play them.
Overall I am happy with this camcorder, and definitely feel I got a good deal for what I paid, which was a bit less than the price advertised here.

This handycam is great for my fiance's business. The picture is clear and the light and zoom are great features. It is small and compact and easy to use. I never received the card that came with the camcorder and feel that it would be better if it was shipped in the box with the camcorder. However, Walmart.com resolved the issue with no problem. I look forward to having this camcorder around.

I would never recommend this product to a friend. I am totally dissatisfied. This product is so small that it reminds me of a toy. Christmas is less than 1 month away. I have 2 camcorder bundles that I am very satisfied with and this 3rd one that I am dissatisfied with and would like to swap this bundle for one like the other two but my only dilemma is that your website now shows that they are "out of stock!"

This product was bought as a birthday gift for my 13 year-old neice, and everything seems to be very good with it.
The size is really great because it is small enough not to get in the way. It's also not too small in order to be hard to use because of that.
It is easy to use. You can basically pick it up out of the box and use it (other than the fact that it has to be charged first.
Overall, this is a great product.

I really like it. The camera is easy to use, has great zoom, and easy to transfer to the computer. My only complaint would be the quality of the photos taken with the still photo option. Great video quality.

I love this camera. If you are looking for an easy to use camera for the every day kind of family pictures and movies this is it! It is sooo easy to us and is priced right for the every day kind of family. I would not buy I different camera even if I had more money to spare or for a camera that offered more functions it's perfect the way it is!

My hubby & I bought this primarily to take along to our honeymoon but we played with it for quite some time. The pic quality is good & the video quality is better. You definitely need to be in good lighting to get the best results. Overall we love the compact size and ease of use. Get it folks!!!

We needed a video camera to take to Las Vegas and the grand canyon. I read alot of reviews on this camera and read that still pictures were not very good on this camera. Since I was taking a digital camera with me also I was not too concerned with how the still pictures would look on the video camera. We took alot of video and still pictures. when we got home we transferred the pictures to our computer. the videos turned out very good and I was pleasantly surprised at how the still pictures turned out. Very crisp and clear, although as with any camera, night pictures are difficult to take. I am so happy with the pictures I no longer need to take my still camera with me on vacation. This camera is a very good value and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take everyday photos and video.
