everything i own is sony--kind of product loyal, but this is the first camcorder i purchased.
i have other sony products and purchased this sony camcorder based on my satisfaction with my other sony electronics.
we upgraded from a canon zr700 to the sony dcr-dvd408.
the sony dvd 408 is best for one button recording.
2) when using non-sony discs, there is a 5 second warning in a gray box covering the entire screen.
the sony dcr-dvd301 dvd handycam is a 3" dvd-r and dvd-rw camcorder with a large 3.5" lcd display that can rotate up to 270 degrees.
i've always wanted a dv camcorder because i've only owned the sony hi-8s in the past.

the sony dcr-dvd301 dvd handycam camcorder w/10x optical zoom is a great camcorder for any one interested in recording quality footage, not to mention that it is small enough to fit in your pocket.
Several years ago, I bought a Sony digital camera that took great pics even at 1.6 megapixels, so I trusted I would have the same quality with a camcorder.
I had a sony hi-8 digital...
According to Sony engineers there is no option to retain the time and date in a digital transfer.
Sony never mentions this until after you have opened the box.
This is my first HD based video camcorder, I picked because I could not find the SR-100 at circuitcity, I believe camcorders that carry Sony's name should be better
it has all the features you could ever dream of and comes with the qualtiy craftmenship from sony
the bottom line: if you can afford it and want to shoot some pro footage, give sony's new flagship a try...
the bottom line: the best camera ever made by sony so, far at it's price.
the bottom line: if you are serious about your videos, then you might want consider a 3ccd digital video camcorder such as the sony dcr-vx2000.
bought my sony vx-2000, shot a short feature and it won first place in new york video fest.
just got my sony hdr-ux7 and love it!
"this purchase is my first venture into the world of hd recording and this sony camcorder satisfied all of my desires.
what i found wasthat nothing, in my opinion, beats a sony.
the video quality is just a little less than minidv tape i have owned sony analog, and digtial 8.
thanks amazon & sony for having/making an awesome camcorder!
i bought this sony product because it was recommended to me by a very helpful sears electronics salesman.
pictures are incredible-better than my sony cyber shot digital!
only drawback is that you can't cut & paste using sony dvd recorder direct, otherwise it's great.
something that i suggest you purchase along with this is the sony dvdirect i purchased this too and i love it too!
i always use sony handycam.
the sony dvd505 is an excellent camcorder that packs a large amount of features into an amazingly small package.
this camera has it all if your looking for a great dvd cam this is the one, from ease of use to the latest in technology, sony has done it again hinghly reccommend it!
summary: the sony dvd505 is an excellent camcorder that packs a large amount of features into an amazingly small package.
this camera is full of features, the amazing thing is that sony has designed it for easy use, it is fool proof.
my main problem with this camera is that it features an annoying, sony proprietary av in/out socket.
you will enjoy this camcorder...plus it is a sony!
i like this camera a lot- previously had a sony mini tape one, decided to go hard drive, first brought the jvc 155 took it back after 1 day-
first i knew sony is at the top, no question about it.
after reviewing the specs and compared it against panasonic h200 for two days, i've finally purchased the sony sr200.
this camcorder is fantastic.....the quality of the pics and video is great, even playing on my sony 55' grand wega.....
i received it by the date was estimate for the standard shipping cost i'm happy with the amazon service more than the camcorder.the sony sr82 camcorder is good too.but the factory include the battery
the capabilities of the camcorder make it a very good buy, but the largest downside is the files it creates require a special 5.1 audio codec that sony will not provide a version that works with
this was my first sony product purchase and all i can say is that this video camera is first rate.
sony should be ashamed to put something that cheap with such a good product.
very good sony product!
what's great about it:?compact size and hard drive what's not so great:?the miserable dock "i don't know what the guys at sony were thinking when they decided on a dock simply to plug in the power
i chose sony b/c they had the least complaints in these areas.
i had a sony previously that was almost 8 years old (big and bulky).
right now the only program that supports this hard drive video camera is sony vegas ...
the sony dcr-sr85 is a very nice camcorder for a very good value.
