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!!

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.

Heyyyy, thanks! Really appreciate you dropping by. Hope you do dig out that old handycam!

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

@Jay_Ducker Жыл бұрын

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 ❤️

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.

Hey!!!! I have the same handycam (handed down from my grandpa) and was wondering how you export the videos onto your laptop? What do you use???

@africawearenext 4 ай бұрын

how do you get the footage out?

@Stallzyx Жыл бұрын

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

@Jay_Ducker Жыл бұрын

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

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!

@user-re8vx7oc4g 7 ай бұрын

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

how did you transfer your videos to a laptop?

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
