If your in the open then they work better. I love the option of recording either widescreen or standard size, and the night vision is fun to play with too. If you want to save a few dollars and don't care about some of the features go with the DVD405. ... from Yahoo.com good camcorder for its price and also I will recommend every one if the want to spend around 400-450 bucks Strengths: light, better than few in similar price range I had 3 privosly Weaknesses: battery life is always a problem with all the camcorders and it is same with it Summary: will recommend if you cannot spend more money but I will surely suggest if you can spend something around 600 dollars than you should go for a better camcorder either from sony or canon or any other company from Pricegrabber.com will recommend if you cannot spend more money but I will surely suggest if you can spend something around 600 dollars than you should go for a better camcorder either from sony or canon or any other company from Mwave.com Summary: will recommend if you cannot spend more money but I will surely suggest if you can spend something around 600 dollars than you should go for a better camcorder either from sony or canon or any other company from Mwave.com The price range went from $700 to $300. I bought this one and I'm tellin ya' I'm one happy camper. It is so easy to operate a kid can do it,yet it takes great videos and pictures on dvd format. It's touch screen so if you have never done that,it will take a bit of practice to get used to. from Amazon.com Definitely agree with other posts that the DCR-DVD505 is one of the best cameras around. However, if you are like me and would like to use a computer create feature length DVDs from those little discs you need to be a little computer savvy. from Amazon.com This camcorder is super easy to use. We set it to take wide screen movies (16:9), so when we are done recording, we simply remove the disk and place it right into the dvd player to watch it on TV. My kids love the instant viewing of their movies. from Amazon.com The camera is very nice, the still images quality is very high. The software is not so good, it can not get a normal DVD for support the videos. I paid a two days service because I needed my camera, but after two days I did not receive the package, I contacted UPS office and I had to go to UPS offices three times, and in third I got my package, Terrible service. from Amazon.com The camera is very nice, the still images quality is very high.

Buying the Sony 505 was a great choice. The large 3 inch touch screen is really nice and all of the controls are extremely easy to use. from Amazon.com
