Sony quality plus an outstanding range of features
I first bought one of these Sony recorders several years ago. The host of features they offer means it takes a bit of time and effort to master its operation but it is well worth it. The large capacity hard disc plus its versatile editing and high speed dubbing facilities make it a great machine for archiving recordings. I don't understand why Sony stopped producing them but their second hand value is a testament to their quality and durability.Read full review...

Doesn't do what I want
I was looking for a replacement for my ageing HX510, which I use constantly to rough-edit video from camcorders etc before sending it to the computer for final movie-making. The old HX510 still works, but is beginning to creak and groan (like its owner) and its days are obviously numbered (ditto). Unfortunately the new HXD870 won't create playlists from the hard drive, --- vital for the kind of editing I need.Read full review...

Camcorder tapes to DVD in one easy move.
Over the years I have wasted money on many different gadgets and software claiming to be able to transfer my digi 8 camcorder tapes to either computer or DVD and none worked.
I'd always discounted this type of machine as it's main function is recording tv programmes and pausing/rewinding live tv etc., a facility I already have.
This machine is simple to use and easily converts camcorder tapes and old vcr tapes to DVD.
Definitely a star buy. Read full review...

So PleasedThat I Could Still Get This Make and Model.
I bought this model to replace the one I have owned since they first appeared on the market which recently stopped working. I am once again enjoying the factility the machine provides to edit home movies etc and burning them to DVD. I can connect my video camera directly too it and finalise a disc that will play in other brands of video player/recorder. A good all round machine producing great quality videos.Read full review...

SonyHDR_HXD870BLACK DVD AND HARD DRIVE RECORDER
It does everything i want it to do. I have a sony model almost the same as this one where you can adjust the quality of the video on the hard drive to fit on a dvd disc. On this model you can adjust the quality before it goes on the hard drive but once its on the hard drive you cant alter it to fit on the dvd. On my other model you can record a whole filmin HD quality then edit it to take the ads out then after that you can reduce the gigs on each segment of film to fit onto a regular dvd disc. Over all a very good machine.Read full review...

EXCELLENT overall performance
Despite one or two issues in 'Programming', this is an EXCELLENT RECORDER/PLAYER. The basic elements are easy to understand and user friendly. Each Sony Model, has its pros and cons, but this model is good overall. Read full review...
