Review: The Sony DCR-DVD101E DVD Camcorder has excellent features, great quality and sexy design. It is so compact and finished so well you can really see the quality. It is simple to use and the quality of the DVDs are fantastic. The downside is the DVDs themselves. They are expensive and only store 20-60minutes on each disc depending on the quality you set it to. I think most people will want to have it on standard which will give you 30mins per disc. It takes a long time to change discs so don't expect to pop it out and slip in the next one. Plays back on my DVD player no problem, however it takes a few minutes to finalize a disc before it is ready. Becareful about buying blank DVDs, Amazon list standard DVD-RW discs under accessories for this product that are not compatible. You will need 8cm DVDs. There are a great selection of accessories for this camera including lenses, a case that enables you to take the camera Scuba diving and an extended battery that lasts upto 8hrs. There are also extra lenses available for super zoom. Night Shot works in virtually pitch black but does reduce the quality and colour and causes a bit of lag when panning quickly. The zoom is fantastic although I wouldn't recommend using the digital zoom much - optical is usually enough and doesn't reduce the quality Overall this Sony DCR-DVD101E DVD Camcorder is a quality product |
