Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DCR-DVD108 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Waited a year to post THIS review to be fair!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for a Disney Trip last September and used it a lot since.
Pros:
1. Easy to use. Just pop in a mini dvd and record.
2. Mini DVD finaliztion process is a snap, and the dvd will play in most dvd players.
CONS: WHY I RATED IT 1 STAR!!!!!!!!!
1. Forget shooting at night. I tried several settings to adjust the night feature to include the night shot lighting. IT SUCKS. Everything looks infrared. My older JVC mini8 took better shots at night. I recently return from the beach and the night shot around the bonefire looked horrible. THIS camcorder is only good during the day. July 4th fireworks all looks blueish red at best.
2. IT BROKE! I used it(Parties,beach twice, Disney). This camera has a focus issue...look to other forums under error 61:11. Eventually the autofocus will break. Mine did three days into my beach vacation. I called sony because i have a 5 year warranty. WHAT garbage. I need to send it in and still pay 100.00 minumum. This camera is going for 200 on ebay.
3. You will lose precious moments until you realize how to use it. When you hit pause the camera goes back about 30-45 secs. When you record again YOU LOSE that time frame. I ran into Snow White and the girls ran up to get a quick hug, then paused and we found Cinderella, and again quick hug. I recorded and paused then recorded and pause throughout the day. Needless to say I lost alot. No shots with either princess. Your best bet is to record all 30 mins non stop and who does that!!
4. Battery is garbage. I had to buy a 3 hour battery to supplement the life time of the stock battery. More $$$$ spent.
If I had to do it over I would buy another camcorder. 400.00 didnt last 1 year and Im buying something else. No more cheap ones like this. Get one with a real night light! Trust me you wont regret it.
