This is my third Sony camcorder. I take a look at other brands but always end up buying another Sony. from Sears.com I got this camcorder as a birthday present and within only a half a day of 'playing' with the buttons, I was a pro. Finalizing and being able to play the DVD is easy too! SONY does it again. from Circuitcity.com Very lightweight and easy to use. Produces very clear videos and easy to hookup to tv and save to dvd's. from Sears.com This is my third Sony camcorder. I take a look at other brands but always end up buying another Sony. from Sears.com "Overall, the Sony DCR-DVD405 is a solid performer with many benefits that outweigh the drawbacks." from Testfreaks.com No complaints about this camcorder except the annoying advertisment popup when you use any thing but the sony dvd oh well its a great camcorder from Circuitcity.com This camcorder for much less money compared to the DCR-DVD 505(the newest model) has great video... from Cnet.com Buyers beware: Sony has forced us into a Catch-22. If you don't use an external... from Cnet.com We bought this for our twins who were born recentely. The long story short, this is a good deal. I spent about a week researching and decided to buy this for its user friendliness, DVD, price and qulaty. I made a good choice. from Amazon.com Easy to use, pretty much just point and shoot. Glad I had read reviews from other consumers regarding the lack of a complimentary disk. That's the least Sony could have done, considering the cost of the camera! from Amazon.com
