User Reviews for Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Digital Camcorder

Reviewed by: afghani_rice

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: It has a nice 3.5" LCD. I like the idea of recording and popping the dvd in you dvd player. Battery lifetime is good if you dont use the lcd.

Weaknesses: Lost 20 minutes of video also. It will not read one of the dvds but i can play it on my dvd player. I have doubts when i record, Will i lose this video? Should i continure recording? thats what i ask.

Overall Evaluation: Bought it for a vacation we had planned. Lost 20+ minutes of video. It does not read one of the mini dvds but i can play it on my dvd player. I would not buy this product again. I should have bought the min digital tapes. At least you dont have the worrys of losing data on disc. Discs are more fragile than the tapes. You can scratch a tape and it will work but it wont on a cd.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Quality is top shelf, it's easy to use and can be played back on most any DVD

Weaknesses: Disks are about $10.00 and it loves eating up batteries (really no worse than some other models) Just get the BIG BATTERY and u won't have an issue

Overall Evaluation: Easy to learn and use, pic's are @ your finger tips everyone around u looks and keeps looking when they realize your recording on disk. Keep in mind their like audio disks treat them with respect and u will have them forever. Jusy Buy it.
