Customer Reviews

Great picture, easy use

We bought the SDR-H200 for my church to use in our multimedia program and couldn’t be more pleased. The 3 CCD imaging system gives you an excellent picture–sharp and clear with vivid, true colors. Image stabilization keeps minor shakes and jitters from making it to the screen.

The files on the camera’s hard drive are easy to transfer, though the included software is nothing more than OK. It won’t tempt you to give up your current editing program, whatever it is.

We have a variety of folks using the camera. It’s easy enough to operate that our amateurs can pick it up and start shooting, but has enough extra bells and whistles that some of our more proficient volunteers are happy with it, too. All in all, the SDR-H200 has been a great investment.

My only complaints, both small, have to do with design. In order to access the USB port, you have to remove the battery and run the camera on AC power. And while the LED screen is large and bright, I’m just a relic and miss having an optical viewfinder to use.

Good Camera

This is our first camcorder and love it! The only bad thing is the video editing software - Pixela’s Image Mixer that comes with the box is bad.
It is not very user friendly and hangs (even after downloading the s/w patch).
You may want to to invest on buying some other video editing software
