Just bought a new cx450 for great price to upgrade my cx240 e and ditch my iPhone for filming way more fun and much more practical to use 👌😎☕️ ps nice video
Wow and awesome, I have one too. I think I'll get it out of the closet, dust it off and take it out for a spin to relive the 2000's again. Thanks for the great video Jay.
I vlogged every day in December last year with a Sony Handy Cam. I love the way it looks and handles. Love how it has built in storage as well as external storage. The one I have has a built in projector as well. My FAVORITE part though - the cheap looking zoom lol. No post production can duplicate the way those zooms look quite right lol. Great video man
Thanks Garrett - you’re the right the built in storage is bloody handy and nothing compares to the zoom on those things haha. Thanks for stopping by mate!
I have a sony Handycam ( DCR-SR42 ) it is soo good . Because of the camera technology of that time , color were not so perfect compared to the latest ones . But that's the best part , it gives so much of nostalgia ❤️
I was at my local thrift store and the Sony DCR SR42 was in the electronics section in its original box, used, but in great condition. It was 49.99 so I instantly bought it! Just had to get new batteries, a cord to transfer to the laptop, and a memory stick for the pictures. I’m super excited to start recording my favorite moments!!
My Aunty and uncle were throwing out a Sony camera bag 2months ago… due to my curiosity I wanted to see what was in the bag. To my surprise there was a bit of weight… as I opened it, long behold a Sony DCR-SR45 wrapped in another bag in near perfect condition… two batteries in the front pocket. I’ve just bought a charger I’m off to Queenstown New Zealand I can’t wait to film with it !!!
Great stuff! I miss old camcorders. I was also just thinking about my high school videography class and I was in the last class that had to use analog/linear editing /no computers for editing . It was fun.
Nice video. I dont think we ever had one of these at home, we had a point and shoot camera with some video functionality or I'd just use the video mode on my old phones. But now that I have some money month to month, I have bought a couple of these and also quite a few of the old 8mm tape handycams to compare and make hopefully some interesting content for here or family videos. The AX53 which is still a great camcorder today is around 6 or 7 years old i believe, and costs about £650. It was out of stock last week and then I am now down the rabbit hole of the older stuff. I love the nostalgic look though and I see it becoming a trend or maybe even TV and film studios start trying to buy them, so thought best to get some
Thanks bud - appreciate it. I had fun using this again but on reflection it's probably something I may not use again unless called for. Uploading all the footage can be tricky and/or expensive to buy the right software. I do love the look but with plug-ins like Dehancer, I'll probably just stick with that. Thanks again
I had another weird thought. What about using my Sony dv to record video in vertical format and merging the footage into a full frame two or three vertical frames wide for effective resolution of 1200x720 px.. Maybe like the American Graffiti sequel. I think I am going to try it
hi jay. i have this same model and am wondering if you have any info on how to transfer files onto computer. i bought mine off someone about a year ago and dont have the cable to connect and cant find much info online. do you know what kind of cable you need? any help appreciated - thanks!
i have a sony hrdcx220 and i HATE IT! i was warned to never by sony anything and i didnt listen! it sucks! does not charge, complicated and VERY user unfriendly, shoulda bought a vivitard..
I used a free software you can download online. However the free version will only do so much before you have to pay for the full version. Quite an annoying process tbh

Wow and awesome, I have one too. I think I'll get it out of the closet, dust it off and take it out for a spin to relive the 2000's again. Thanks for the great video Jay.
