With the DCR-PC5, Sony achieved super compactness and no degradation in quality as the DCR-PC5 meets the demand of customers for an "All-In-One" and "Feature Rich" camcorder in a small package. Its super compact size is 16% smaller compared to a previous model. The DCR-PC5 provides the same excellent digital picture quality that customers look for in a Sony Handycam. With the addition of the Progressive Shutter System, customers can capture great looking still pictures and store them through the built-in Memory Stick slot. I/O Terminals are also not a problem as there is no need to use adapters. There is even a RS232C (Serial) interface built-in.

Smallest DV camcorder
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Small size Excellent Picture
Cons: expensive short battery life
The Bottom Line:
If you care about the size and the quality, it's worth the extra money
This camcorder is an attractive one because of it's size. It is the smallest camcorder out there on the market so far. It fits into your coat pocket. The picture quality does not compromise by it's size. I chose SONY because they used the best lens-Carl Ziess. The cost of the lens definitely attribute to the cost of this amazing camcorder. ALthough this camcorder doesn't give you the mega-pixel still image (PC-100), but the digital picture quality is good enough for sending over the web. The touch screen operation is a plus, very easy to use. The only problem I have with this camcorder is the short battery life. I guess you just have to buy couple of extra batteries. But the batteries are expensive.
