Sony Handycam DCR-DVD101E Camcorder
5 reviews
Yes a DVD camcorder! Sony shows us once more that they are the experts at applying miniature disc formats to audio and video. Amazingly 29% smaller and 23% lighter than last year's model it comes with all the features you would expect from a high-end camcorder.

Sony DCR-DVD101 Handycam DVD Camcorder - High Price, Poor Performance
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Easy to use, compact, features, USB2.0 (but no FireWire), good controls, battery
Cons: Price, poor digital stills, noise in low light, slow DVD operation
Bottom Line:
I don't quite understand why somebody would pick the DVD-based camcorder over the tape one. Yes, the discs look shiny and more high-tech than tape. Yes...

Quietly Set it Down, Pick up Some Other DVD Camcorder

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.

Poor performance, high price

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.
