My bro sent me a link to an article on Engadget showing that Sony is offering upgrades to the hard disk drive in some of it’s Handycam models, of which mine is included. For $100, we can upgrade the 30GB drive to a 60GB drive. This sounds pretty cool, but when I thought about when I was buying the camera a few months back, $599 for a 30GB was within our price point, but $699 would place it too high.
Plus, the 30GB is more than enough room for us. I think on the medium setting, we could record about 10 hours of footage before needing to transfer the data to the computer. In conclusion, it’s nice to have the option to upgrade and turn our SR62 into an SR62A, but we’ll pass. Seems like a real money-maker for Sony, though.
