Sony Handycam DCR-HC96
Editors' rating
Very good
7.1
out of 10
- The good: Sharp, colorful video; compact size; decent photo quality.
- The bad: Poor battery life; cumbersome menus poorly matched with the small touch-screen LCD.
- The bottom line: Excellent video quality, a broad feature set, and decent photos make the Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 an excellent choice for those seeking a compact MiniDV camcorder. Navigating the small touch screen may encourage you to stick with its automatic features, however.
