The SDR-H80 isn't a bad camcorder, but memory card storage makes better financial sense for most users. This means that to upload a video while on the move, you'll need to carry a power adaptor with you. However, you have to run it off mains power to access files via USB. The SDR-H80 is compact, comfortable to hold and easy to operate and its battery is capable of almost two hours of continuous recording.
We've seen worse results from camcorders with small sensors in dark conditions, but there's still a lot of noise here. In less favourable lighting, it really struggles. However, the results start to suffer when viewed on a large TV, as there isn't enough detail to fill a big display. In good lighting conditions, the SDR-H80 performs admirably, with accurate colours and reasonable detail. The 1/8in CCD sensor is among the smallest you'll find on any camcorder. Despite this, the huge zoom makes it a very flexible camcorder. However, even with stabilisation, we struggled to get a steady handheld shot beyond a factor of around 50x. Optical image stabilisation helps reduce camera shake on handheld shots.
The 70x optical zoom is the biggest we've seen, making it ideal for wildlife shooting. It also has an SDHC card slot should you need yet more space. This will hold around 15 hours of MPEG2 video at the highest quality setting of 10Mbit/s, which makes it a good choice if you're going on a long holiday. The SDR-H80 has a built-in 60GB hard disk. We'd rather see it run directly from the camcorder's built-in storage, as on Flip's Mino (What's New, Shopper 250).

Finally, the software must be installed on your PC before you can use this feature. We also see no reason why the software can't include all clips of less than 10 minutes in length. These can then be uploaded directly to YouTube.ĭissapointingly, there are no basic editing tools for setting in and out points. Connect the SDR-H80 to your PC and the provided software launches automatically, showing thumbnails of any clips shot in Web Mode.
