Sony DCR-HC46 Camcorder Review

The DCR-HC46 will sell well, that much is almost certain. It's the middle-of-the-road MiniDV model from the most recognizable name in camcorders - Sony. This is a camcorder for soccer moms and dads - other than NightShot, the HC46 offers the gadget freak little to get excited about. The HC46 offers less in the way of control and flexibility over the video image than just about any camcorder on the market other than lower-end Sonys.

Ratings and Reviews - DCR-HC46 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

What a great MiniCam! Too bad that Sony told me they were phasing this one out... but I was still able to find a great deal via the Internet. Camcorder has the famous Carl Ziess lens, a 2.7" wide LCD monitor, and up to 7 hours of battery life. I went ahead and ordered a separate AC charger so I wouldn't have to keep the MiniCam plugged in all the time and a spare battery to keep charged all the time. Total investment for all this was around $300, again... a great deal for a SONY MiniCam.
