Sony DCR-DVD101 Handycam DVD Camcorder - High Price, Poor Performance

Author's Rating: Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: Easy to use, compact, features, USB2.0 (but no FireWire), good controls, battery

Quietly Set it Down, Pick up Some Other DVD Camcorder

Author's Rating: Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: Neat purple color

Cons: Low resolution and pixels, very expensive for the quality

Bottom Line:
Video quality is good, until recording under lower light conditions. For the price, upgrading to DVD201 or a competitor gives much better value. Read More

Poor performance, high price

Author's Rating: Rating: 1/5 stars

Pros: Smart styling, major controls are easy to operate

Cons: Video quality is poor, random "slow-motion" effect very annoying.

Bottom Line:
The image quality just isn't there, and isn't that what you buy a camera for? I'm frankly surprised Sony sells something this bad. Read More
