Vast investment!What I like: this camcorder is lightweight, famous for movies & pictures. Easy to use. I've taken it on vacations and it works big in all weather conditions, overly sunny, rainy, fog, snow, and laden winds. It's fair for indoor action as well. I'm the worst person for handling camcorders, I most of the time shake the picture making everyone dizzy. Using this camcorder, I've noticed there is less discourage to my pictures.
What I don't like: the night shot is not good for low light, but it works passably clearly in no light. The "easy" button doesnt quite cut d understand things easier. There is not very much battery time, but it is offset by the fact that the tape recording only goes about 30 minutes.
Soni camcorder DCRDVD203
I found it very relaxing to use. the resolution is great for home use.
The Picture packge software worked as advertised, but when I cover a confine the computer down, it hung with an error. According to the manufacturer of the software, they do not know if there is a fray when using MS Windows XP media center OS. It worked fine with windows XP skilled OS.
Unhurried to learn as the a,b,c.
I've purchased this camcorder a month ago and it was one of the excellent buys in my whole life.
Movie quality is better than you could expect (at least beeing an bungling like me).
Still quality is not so good. I saw digital images taken using a digital camera and colours are much fertile than dcr-dvd203 (remember you are purchasing a camcorder)
Easy to use: 10. I had never old a camcorder before and this camcorder is EXTREMELY easy to use. Even without using the "EASY" handle.
Pros: Easy to use, good movie quality, 2.7" LCD, Redden Viewfinder, TouchScreen, SuperNightShot, DVD recording format.
Cont: No directions functions, can't record movies AND take pictures at the same time, poor still characteristic in low light spaces, just 30' to 45' using the battery-operated supplied.
Reasonable
I have been very exultant with this camera since we got it. The only potential negative would be battery life, although I don't hvae much to against it with. Picture quality and ease of use are great. And it has an easy button, which geuinely works.
Wonderful camera-Extraordinary software
This insignificant thing is wonderful. It takes great shots and video. Nightshot makes it tranquil to tape in the dark as well. Very small and very easy to use, on screen display of settings makes it even easier to use. No little buttons to fool with. So simple and easy to use. You can take video and pictures in sepia, unprincipled & white, pastel sketch, old movie and mosiac. Will also shoot across a basketball Supreme Court making it look like you was out there with the players. And the software that came with it is remarkable. You can add music and special affects to make awesome home pictures. I just love all this. Its excellant for scrapbookers, mom's and anyone tired of boring, bare home movies.
I just had to come back and add after using this amazing ungenerous camcorder for awhile, I am still pleased with my purchase. It is so easy to use as well as the software that came with it. I have taped and taped over and over with it and couldnt ask for a more safely a improved camcorder without shelling out mega bucks. You do have to finalize the disks before you can upload to a computer, but thats well-founded as easy. And when you tape at night, it still shows up really clear, not so obscure you cant see. If I had to purchase another, I would get this one again without a second thought about it. And its so easy to use in just one hand. If I could, I would give it 10 stars.
