Reviews of the Sony Handycam DCR-SX41 (silver)

CNET Review
The Good: Simple operation; 60x zoom lens; small, lightweight design.
The Bad: Soft, digital-artifact-laden video; noticeable purple fringing on subjects.
The Bottom Line: If internal flash memory, zoom range, and a touch-screen LCD are on your list of needs before video quality, check out the Sony Handycam DCR-SX41.
