gigantopithecus Member Since: Oct 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Nice features, great ergonomics, good performance. Strengths: Solid all-around; not deficient in any one criteria, outstanding in ergonomics. Weaknesses: Doesn't really stand out anywhere, either (except for ergonomics). Summary: This digital camcorder is quite light, VERY easy to use ergonomically (the touchscreen is fantastic), works well in low light, uses standard, readily available (for cheap) media, & has all the bells & whistles you'd expect from a relatively inexpensive digital camcorder. I can't comment on any real weaknesses as I've yet to find any! 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

CalMiyatake from TX Member Since: Jul 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Months	BAD video playback on large TVs Strengths: compact Weaknesses: video playback on large TV Summary: The worst feature about this camera is that when you playback on a large TV (i.e. 30in or greater) the video quality if fuzzy. There is nothing in the documentation that addresses this. I spoke to Sony about it and their basic response was "too bad". 88% of People (35/40) found this review helpful.

timbarrr from NY Member Since: May 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Months	Great camcorder Strengths: The camcorder is very easy to use. All of the commands are at or very near your fingers tips. Weaknesses: None so far. Summary: My previous camcorder was a JVC, but I found this Sony camcorder was better designed. I have been using it for about a month filming both indoor and outdoor, and the picture came out great either way. Even though the camcorder's weight is very light, if you are going to be recording for a long time a tripod is definitely recommended. 85% of People (11/13) found this review helpful.

awoo100 from PA Member Since: Dec 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 15 Days	Sony DCR DVD105 Strengths: compact size, touch screen LCD, good video and sound quality Weaknesses: NA Summary: This camcorder writes directly to a DVD/RW media which can be played directly on a PC or DVD player. This simplies the process of copying from digital tape to DVD media. You can easily view recorded movie segments via the touch screen without having to rewind as with digital tapes. The touch screen makes it easy to access camera options. 77% of People (36/47) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

flyhigh06 from FL Member Since: May 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 14 Days	Great starter camcorder Strengths: fun camcorder with lots of features. touch screen. it's easy to use. Weaknesses: can't edit video Summary: It's a handy camcorder and very comfortable to hold it in your hand. The touch screen is very nice and self-explanatory. Very easy to use. It has decent quality to low-end professional, lots of features such as faders, black & white, and wide screen mode and etc. The dvd disc(R) is not expensive and you can get it about $8 for 5 discs. But as many other dvd camcorders, you can't edit video which is frustrating sometimes. Thank you for the valuable feedback! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

kamerkar from CA Member Since: Jan 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 20 Days	cool DVD camcorder from Sony Strengths: 20x optical zoom, manual focus control, reasonably light weight, ready to play DVD recording. Reasonably light weight and 5.1 Dobly sound recording Weaknesses: Less battery life, only 30 min recording on one disk. Summary: I like this camcorder because of its 20X zoom with better video quality over my other MiniDV camcorder. No great PC interface makes transfer to PC bit difficult. But the DVD is ready to play in minutes. I like this camcorder for the price I paid. Thank you for the valuable feedback! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

onlyremymartin Member Since: Jun 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Great Camcorder for Beginners Not Enthusiast (Very Reputable Brand) Strengths: Compact, light, easy of use, price Weaknesses: Seems Sony lower end camcorders are made with cheaper plastic? Battery Life , charge light does turn on to let you know if fully charged? Summary: Overall, I assess that this unit is on the low end of all camcorders. I do have another Sony DVD camcorder that is Top of the Line of Sony's. The build quality is more durable in terms of the material used ( i.e. plastic , buttons ). The picture quality is above average but not compared to upper end units from Sony. I am pleasantly surprised on dvd picture quality for this low end. At night, quality is not so great but what would you expect for a lower end camcorder. I would only recommend this unit if you have a budget. Thank you for the valuable feedback!
