Memory game

You record a lot of video. There's birthday parties, family reunions, games, concerts, vacations, house parties, and … you get the idea. Getting everything you need for each event takes a lot of memory, and while your camera generally remembers everything you point it at, sometimes you forget a little thing here or there. And when that thing happens to me a memory card for your camcorder, it can spell trouble. Luckily, the compact Sony DCRSX85 HandyCam makes sure that you're covered (just in case), with 16GB of flash memory built in. Good thing, too, because with so much video waiting to be taken, that's one less thing to distract you from getting the best moments recorded.

Avoid â€œsee-sicknessâ€�

No, we didnâ€™t misspell it, the condition known as â€œsee-sicknessâ€� is caused by viewing badly shot home videos. You may have experienced it yourself: shaky camera, long distance shots, bad lighting and framing. Sonyâ€™s DCRSX85 takes a firm stance against these types of videos by providing tools to alleviate these travesties. First, their SteadyShot image stabilization technology keeps your camera steady even when your hand might not be. Then, their 70x zoom makes sure that you have plenty of options to frame any shot, whether itâ€™s happening right in front of you, or a good distance away. Finally, Intelligent-auto modes analyze what youâ€™re shooting and choose from seven distinct scene modes to make sure that lighting, focus, and color are appropriate for what youâ€™re shooting. By using the Sony Handycam, â€œsee-sicknessâ€� will soon become an unpleasant thing of the past. Do your part today.

View and review

Sure, the Sony DCRSX65 makes capturing memories easy, but what about the rest of the process? Step-by-step, the Sony Handycamâ€™s got your back. The 3.0â€� touch LCD viewscreen makes reviewing your movies easy: plenty of room to see exactly what you need to see, and the intuitive touch screen interface makes navigation fun and simple. A built-in USB connection simplifies transferring your files from the camcorder to your computer (no more searching for the right connection). Finally, the included software makes organizing your movies easy on a Windows PC, allowing you to find and sort by everything from reel, time, or to a specific personâ€™s face. Plus, if you have an external hard drive you store your video on, you can transfer it directly from the camcorder without the need to stop at your PC first.
