Softening Sony Handycams
Digital Cameras & Camcorders | Jun 29, 05
We're now seeing some price declines for the most popular camcorders on PriceSCAN.com, the Sony Handycam line. This is interesting because many of these only became available early this year, and their technology is fairly close to the state of the art. Let's look at two of these, both with image stabilization, LCD monitor, color viewfinder and remote control.
The Sony DCR-HC42 MiniDV Handycam had a low price of about $500 when we started tracking it in February, and it now retails for less than $435.
Time Period: 2/14/2005 through 6/20/2005
Each tick mark represents one week
Red = High Price, Blue = Average Price, Green = Low Price
Stepping up to the Sony DCR-DVD403 DVD Handycam will run you a bit more at just under $680, but that's still less than the $725 which was the low price at the end of March.
Time Period: 3/21/2005 through 6/20/2005
Each tick mark represents one week
Red = High Price, Blue = Average Price, Green = Low Price
These items demonstrate just how dynamic pricing is in the consumer electronic markets, and why it pays to check this site frequently. These days, if you blink you might miss a price drop.
