Honestly, a knockout punch - just a wonderful camera
I grew up in a very high-tech family. I come from a family that was probably one of the first adopters of the at-home microwave oven; the Apple IIe home computer (when they came out); and of course, the first external color LCD screen for a cam-corder.
Well, times have changed, and so...

Great family video camera
I am not a professional videographer. We have owned a Canon Hi-8 ES2000 for 10 years and it served us well until it died this year. We needed a replacement for our family videos.
I knew I wanted a hybrid camera that could do good video and average stills so I didn't have to take two...

Excellent camera - what's all the whining about?
I am a former professional cameraman and I am very impressed with this camera. I would buy it again. I've had for a month while travelling in China and it has proven to be very reliable and very easy to use, including adjusting exposure and focus. While researching this camera I came across some...

The best of the DVD Camcorders...
Before I begin, let me correct a previous reviewer who stated that the built-in microphone does not record in 5.1 surround sound. It does. The manual clearly states that and I have tested it on my own home theater. OK, on with the review.
If you are reading this, chances are you are...

shoot like a pro
So what can a thousand dollars get you? a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD403 that's what. If your shooting little Juniors B-day and the company BBQ save your money and go for a $300-400 unit. The DCR-DVD403 is overkill. If you want stunning images, great sound and life like video then this is a good choice... Read full review »
Great camera, ideal for families - So easy to use!
What a great camcorder for around-the-house recording! I'm not going to elaborate on specs here...they're available at cnet.com, or the Sony website. Here's what you really need to know...
IT'S EASY TO USE -- The controls are clearly marked, easy to find, and simple to operate. I found it...

Lots of problems and poor product support
Initially this camera worked fine and I was quite happy with its simplicity and quality. Then, after two months, the shutter system malfunctioned and I could not use the camera. I was in South Africa at the time and took it to Sony South Africa who advised me that the entire shutter system needed... Read full review »
Do your homework, technology worth price, computer necessary to exploit all features
I bought the Sony DVD 92 model from big-box retailer Best Buy. I own an older Windows-based computer, but usually use a Mac G4 with iMovie and figured I could extract video clips from the mini-DVDs, but found later that it's not possible and I can't even download the data since the DVD 92 doesn't...

DISAPPOINTED - READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY!
Last year I purchased a Sony Handycam DCR DVD 403:
http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_Handycam_DCR_DVD403/4505-6500_7-31286090.html?tag=also
The camera has an automatic lens shutter, and it seems to cause many users headache (does not open any more). It would have been great to know...

Nice Camcorder
I don't have much of a camcorder background so take this for what its worth. Colors in video seem bright and vibrant. Sound is real to life. This video cam is great for me. I like the fact that it records to mini DVD. I purchased RW's so there is no waist(consumables). Format, shoot, finalize,... Read full review »
