Excerpt: Like every camcorder, the Sony DCR-HC65 has its pros and cons. This model sports one of the best LCD monitors on the market -- a 3.5-inch color LCD with 123,000 pixels.
Conclusion: The Sony DCR-HC65 is a solid choice for intermediate videographers, but we've seen better, especially when it comes to shooting scenes with action.
Pros: Huge 3.5-inch LCD. Manual focus ring around lens. Headphone jack for monitoring audio.
Cons: No audio gain. High-action video and still-image quality were subpar.
