Sony Handycam DCR-SR88 price range: $553.04 - $699.99

The good: Simple operation; 60x zoom lens; 120GB hard drive; small.
The bad: Soft, noisy video; noticeable fringing on subjects; image stabilization is electronic only; no mic or headphone jacks.
The bottom line: Sony's Handycam DCR-SR68 (and larger-capacity SR88) offers up ample storage and a megazoom lens at a reasonable price; one look at the standard-definition video, though, and you might regret not spending a bit more for an HD model.

Pros: The videos were sharp in bright sunlight but pale in other conditions. The still photos tolerable.
Cons: The mirror lcd screen is a handicap when shooting in bright or slight cloudy condition as our face is reflected on it making it difficult to see the objects we are shooting.
