Sony DCR-HC62 low light test

[ilikeblondie]

So is this night vision, can you see with no lights at all?

@dfduygsdsgdfq Maybe if you get a waterproof case for it. It isn't a waterproof camera.

Great video, thanks! I just got this camera, and by adding 1 IR add-on (Sima), it's fantastic.

Does it have Nightshot and Super Nightshot?

[cameratest]

It has super nightshot plus, which you can only use when the nightshot light is on. There is no mode just called NightShot. The other two low-light modes are color slow shutter and auto slow shutter, as shown in the video.

Thank you for this helpful test! What can you tell me about the auto focusing capacity/speed? To me, it seems the new miniDV handycams from Sony are worse than the old ones in this respect. I have the HC51 and it is struggling to focus in low light (i.e. indoors).

Hello, I'm trying to decide between this camera and one of the Canon's around the same price. I was wondering if you can record video to the Memory Stick Duo? or just to the cassette? Also, I'm planning to use my camera for outdoor activities(boarding, dirtbiking, night time racing) looking for something of good quality and easy to handle. I'm also planning on doing alot of editing on my pc(vista) looking for simplicity in that department as well. Your opinion is appreciated.

Hi, the slow video frame on certain configurations is real (the real recording film?), or is the video from youtube, or after the editing?

[cameratest]

This is the way it actually records in certain modes in low light. The slow frame rate is not due to youtube compression.

i have they Sony dcr sr290e, in dark places it gets grainy with noise... you can low the exposure to remove grain/noise but you will need more light...
