[@CamcorderTests]

See Part 2 of this video for more information and sample footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmrFi6Gjgcxme9E

[@Canadian_Gamer]

I picked up one of these recently and I have to say the zoom is incredible. The only issue is that it does not provide 1080p but obviously it's a product of its time. Great build quality.

[@FerretL0ver13]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was thinking about getting one for family road trips and just video making in general.

[@NJRoadfan]

@DrCassette 37mm is the same size lens thread used on classic Sony Hi-8/D8 camcorders as well.

[@ClevelandStorms]

i just randomly picked that vid out of nowhere and it sucks you actually have a great tutorial going on its just that i was in such a rush i couldn't watch the whole thing but now i did and im glad i watched it im going to get that camera

[@Andrew.R686]

this video told me everything i needed to know thanks man helped a lot

[@DrCassette]

This appears to be a nice little camcorder. I'm surprised Sony gave some upgrades to their newer models although I'm guessing it's to save costs - the automatic lens cover part with lens thread is also used on many of their HD camcorders.

[@loveballet101lover]

is there any tripods that are cheap that u can buy for it or, a recommended tripod cause cant find anything for it so i thought you might know please reply thank you!

[@Mellybell83]

Nevermind! You answered my question at the end of video. Thanks!

[@skateboarder501]

Hey dude, I have the Sony Handycam (CDR-SX45) How does the SX-45E differ from the SX-45? What kind/size of fisheye will work for this camera, do you know? Do fisheyes increase the quality to 720p HD or higher?

[@NJRoadfan]

@vwest7ife The bitrate limitation is to keep the file within DVD-Video specifications. My sister's JVC Everio had the same max limit. It does make it easy to create DVDs from recordings, but not much else. Datarate PAL vs. NTSC is a bit of a wash, PAL may be higher res, but lower frame rate to somewhat compensate for the added resolution.

[@lenoat702]

What are the advantages of this SD camcorder vs a HD camcorder?

[@leslielopez6641]

would today's modern SD card be compatible for this camera?

[@Mellybell83]

I just purchased this. I don't have an iMac. I plan to vlog. Is windows movie maker supported by this camcorder?

[@CarnelProd666]

@uxwbill Samsung's camcorders allow for USB charging, at least the SMX-F50 that I have does.

[@MrJoeGooch]

Did these end up being Sony's last ever standard definition camcorders? Cheers.

[@NJRoadfan]

@vwest7ife Sony also sells "international" NTSC-M units to those outside of the US. My CCD-TRV65 was one. Same exact camera, but has multilingual documentation.

[@shawnrobinson7066]

Where can I find the remote control cord

[@chrisduxbury1751]

what video editing software works with the camera can u use windows movie maker

[@SethTheSkater]

does the camera come with a sd card or do you need to buy one to record videos?

[@MrsVietman]

Hello, I would like to know how transfer your video on your pc without losing the quality of image. I have just bought this device and by importing my videos the quality becomes very bad. Thank you. ( sorry for my english I am french )

[@umranc2848]

Do you know how long the battery life is for the SX45?

[@njtcoastline]

How long can you get shooting full HD on a single battery?

[@10BlocksDeep]

does the DCR-SX45 have a A/V Input Setting

[@Navvynavv]

PLEASE HELP I have a Sony DCR SR45 I plan to make videos....I want to know is it possible to use a wireless microphone or Voice recorder when video is being shot from Far Away? Is there a jack to connect the wireless microphone to my sony? If not...then how do i go about? Should i record sound on a voice recorder with a lapel mic and then add sound to the video? Would appreciate your help..... Thanks my friend...

[@ClevelandStorms]

what is the video resolution? 720x480?

[@rachelann323232]

Great review! I don't know much about camcorders, and so I appreciate how informative this video is. Also, can you tell me if this camera would be able to plug into a TV and view, (on the TV), what is being recorded, WHILE, it is being recorded? I'm not sure what that feature is called, but I had assumed that all camcorders had that feature, but recently found that not all of them do. Thank you!

[@kmart06914]

can you plug in like a microphone to it?

[@NJRoadfan]

@uxwbill The cost of making HD camcorders has dropped to the point that it doesn't make fiscal sense to stock SD models. Sony HD cams still shoot SD MPEG2, Canon's cameras offer an in-camera down-convert feature for HD footage. I wish they would shoot SD DV as opposed to MPEG2 though, as thats a better editing format.

[@NTMBPRODUCTIONS]

are there threads for fish eyes

[@adeebathimannil2882]

My camera has a problem... although the memory is in normal mode the camera indicates that memory is locked.. help me memory is not in locked mode...

[@mariac.cruzrojas4458]

Ok, si hay alguien en español les cuento mi triste historia: En mi casa encontré una cámara que llevaba años guardada. La saqué, la abrí y exploré los viejos y nostálgicos archivos que contenía. Hubo un problema: A LA HORA DE CERRARLA NO SUPE CÓMO JAJAJAJAJAJA Gracias a este vídeo descubrí cómo cerrar la caja de una cámara. Gracuas bro, me ayudaste a cerrar una cámara :v

[@zparkle4615]

Aprovechando jdjjd qué accesorios son los que se necesitan para que la cámara sea funcional? La voy comprar de segunda mano y no quiero que me falte nada porfis😭

[@CamcorderTests]

It's still usable, although more people expect HD video quality these days.

[@shawnsu6563]

is this HD ?

[@arch4ngel]

Man, used to have this. Now it's lost

[@arch4ngel]

Update: I finally found it :D

[@kalle0264]

Does they have HD?

[@CamcorderTests]

No.

[@MrJthoughts]

Does this camera have a built-in laser to destroy zombies?

[@weasel2htm]

One thing I find interesting is the SX45 has NO built in memory, but my SX44 has 4GB built in.

[@nawieee9]

megapixels?

[@CamcorderTests]

The image sensor has an effective resolution of 470k pixels, or 0.47 megapixels.

[@nawieee9]

Oh, thank you! :)

[@joelmendezalferez]

[@CamcorderTests]

Standard definition.

[@CamcorderTests]

My Canon FS200 has an automatic lens cover. I've used it heavily since I bought it in 2009 and it's still working perfectly.

[@desertdispatch]
