Sony Standard Def DCR-SX series cameras

Recommended Posts

Looks like Sony released a variety of really inexpensive standard def internal memory/Memory Stick PRO Duo cameras with the AV/R connector but unfortunately no thread for a wide angle lens.

So basically for $269 you get a SD camera (MPEG2) with 4GB internal memory that you'll have to epoxy an adapter ring onto. It also has an extremely small battery so who know's how long it will last.

Buying a $200 box for a $200 camera does not make much sense to me, neither does spending any money on a SD camera in this age. And for you linear editing people, it does not appear to have an IR port and does not come with a remote. And although Sony could probably do some trickery and pay a lot of royalties, it also does not have IEEE 1394 (firewire/ilink).

On one positive note, they finally got Blue but dropped Black
DCR-SX60 - 16GB $369MSRP
DCR-SX41 - 8GB $299
DCR-SX40 - 4GB $269

Seems like a waste of money to me for skydiving applications but may be good for your teenager/you tuber... You decide.... Link
They had a few at my local Fry's this morning...
