Sony 2009 "Handycam" in 2019: How Well Does it Stand Up Today?

  • I came across an old Sony camera that was just about to turn 10 years old, and I'd like to test it to its abilities and see if we can get results out of it that'll make it acceptable to use in this HD/4K era.
    (I'd like to mention someone (by the name of Tony Lee Glenn) also took a 10-Year-Old Sony camera and did similar tests with it. It may sound like I ripped them off, but I didn't know about this video until I already rendered this video. So go check out that video here: • Is Your Old Camera Goo... )

    My first camcorder was the Sony HDR-CX100 I still actually still use it till this day because of how great it is I think color reproduction on my camcorder is fine but usually canon has better reproduction but Sony has better auto focus then canon iPhones you really need alot of lighting to even get decent color reproduction personally I would go with Sony not the camcorder in the video tho

    The memory card it uses is the despised memory card pro duo which was also used in the PSVita
    People absolutely hated this proprietary format since it was a lot more expensive than SD cards, eventually Sony buckled in and made miniSD and microSD adapters for it.

    Watching this video in 60 fps you can tell that the Canon camera had the least smooth motion capture of all of them. Objects got super blurry as they moved. The iphone and sony cameras didn't have that problem so objects in motion were much more clear to see.

    I currently have a similar camcorder (a 2008 Sony Handycam DCR-SR45) and the videos recorded by it aren't the best, but (in my opinion) they look pretty decent, although the videos have a bit of visual noise sometimes. My camcorder also records in 480p, and I've transferred videos from it to my computer before, and I've watched UA-cam videos in 480p before, and in my personal opinion, 480p is pretty decent video resolution. Obviously not the best by today's standards, but pretty ok. In my opinion, it doesn't look that much different from 720p (unless I were a snob with a microscope)

    I need help with some questions...1: What happen's if your battery runs out of power while you are in the middle of filming? Do you lose your footage or is it still there while you are charged again? 2: If you were filming for say 3 minutes and needed to stop for a few hours...Do you need to finalise the disc first to save your footage or can you continue recording from where you left off once you restart the camera? 3: Has anyone used non Sony mini DVD's to record with? Were they successful? Sony DVD's are no longer available in my country but there are TDK mini's or Prodisc Mini's that I could get. Thank you for looking at my 3 questions :) I am hoping to buy this type of camera

    Another comment by me. This one's more serious:
    Dire dire docks plays*
    Hi, Daniel. It's me, one of your biggest fans, Mikey E. Bryan. I want to let you know on something, it's something that kinda concerns me a little byte, I mean, BIT. Jokes aside, this is about the Daniel's Chill Comment Stream, back in the summer of 2018. Now of course, you have heard of someone in the stream, named Jessica Scheel, which is my account. And, this is the part that concerns me. Throughout the stream, I was the one who is a constant attention seeker, like Callie, from LizzieRaticle. And according to the stream, WHICH IS GOOD BY THE WAY, you found out about me once. One time. I was bloody cheerful after that, and I wanted more, a WHOLE, LOT MORE. Which is wrong of me to do, because you were busy looking at many questions and comments, and I didn't want ANY OF THAT. Like how Rebecca Parham (Let Me Explain Studios) was laser eye focused on getting Pokemon Snap and the N64, I was laser eye focused on you responding to me, because I wanted you to, and because I am diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
    Yeah, I AM diagnosed with that. That's one reason why I was a LizzieRaticle Callie. So to you, I AM SORRY. I'm sorry for forcing attention. I'm sorry for being a whiny little b**ch to you. And I'M SORRY, FOR ALL THAT I DID WRONG ON YOU!!! Will you forgive me? Yes, No, Maybe? I think I might shed a tear because of what I did after I post this comment. If you accept me, then, thank you for giving me another chance. If no, thanks for expressing your opinion to me. If maybe, that's okay too. You do you. Thanks for reading, and ca- OH, I ALMOST FORGOT! If you forgive me, here are some questions:
    Have you ever heard of or watched the show, My Life As A Teenage Robot?
    Do you have an interest in watching Jaiden Animations' video, Why I Don't Have A Face Reveal? Because it covers the college years of Jaiden, and the fact, she had Anorexia.
    Do you play any sports? Or wanting to go back to school if you had the choice to?
    What are your problems with the channel, truthorange?
    What's 9+10?
    Would you like anything else with your hotcake and small Coca Cola?
    What's your life advice for ANYBODY, even yourself?
    Alright, that does it! Thanks for reading my apology to you, and carry on. Draw, and Stay Chill!

      2011 handycam would be 720p or 1080p so they are good for youtube etc.
