Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 Review
The good: Very compact size; lightweight; easy to use; low price.
The bad: Mediocre video quality; short battery life; no accessory shoe; low-quality stills.
The bottom line: Unless this camcorder's low-resolution, low-quality stills are important to you, you might as well go for Sony's less expensive DCR-HC26.
