Sony DCRDVD300 MiniDVD Handycam Camcorder with 3.5" LCD and Digital Still Capability Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Steady and clear
Comment: Steady and clear are the pictures. Easy to use even when you're excited with a huge bull elk next to your vehicle! Light weight to carry until the moment you need it. Simply super for wild life photography and the abilty to zoom in soooooooo closely, and get that perfect photo shot as well, is amazing. If you have young children, this is the camera for you to catch all those special moments. I love it.

Summary: Beware Other DVD brands
Comment: Although I really enjoy my camcorder, I have learned that only Sony DVDs work well with this camcorder. You are able to record on other cheaper brands, however, if you use the Image Mixer sofware (which comes with the camcorder) to edit abd re-burn DVDs there are compatability problems between other brands. Furthermore, the Image Mixer software is limited, elementary and not user friendly. Their customer support is pretty worthless as well. I would still reccommend this camcorder - but beware that some editing and recording features will only work with the expensive Sony DVDs.

Summary: Bought to record new born, but no recording media avaliable!
Comment: Watch out before you buy this or any of the other Handycams. At the time I am writing this, no stores have the 1.4GB dvds that they use to record. Even Sony doesn't have them. Make sure you can find a supply of thier recording media before you buy any of these products. I bought the Sony DVD-100 and I am stuck. The Handycam comes with 1 DVD-R so when that is used up your done. Think about this before you purchase a $1,000.00 camcorder that you will be only able to use for 30 mins until more disks are available. A fact I wish I was aware of while I was making my decision to purchase it.

Summary: cheap dvd disc that works on dcrdvd300
Comment: I just wanted people to know that you can use a non brand name disc instead of the costly sony ones. I buy mine at shop4tech.com it only cost 3.60 each instead of the 8.00 ones at the stores and sony.com . just search for mini dvd for camcorders and they have three brands to choose from. Could someone email me at courtnhu@aol.com on how to print still images without buying a photo printer, for ex. bringing it to the photo store for printing since it does not come with a memory card.
