Great Camcorder

Strengths: Lightweight, easy to use, great picture quality

Weakness: None

This is a super camcorder at a fair price. I love that I could take it out of the box, charge it up and use it without having to read a manual. It is simple to use and I can record to several types of media. I'm simply elated with my purchase!

dvd810 hybrid gives you features of both hard...

Strengths: ability to record to hard drive (internal memory) or mini-dvd, overall nice design and size, has viewfinder, very good video quality

Weakness: "minor" ones: LCD gets smudged/fingerprints from touch screen menu. Tough to get a comfortable hand postion when recording.

This camera replaced my 10 year old sony handycam hi-8 which still works great, but hard to find tapes these days and I don't have hours of time anymore to convert my tapes to dvd. This cam is less than half the size of my "old school" cam but is not too small. I could not decide on hard drive or mini-dvd. Here you can record onto hard drive for 2 to 6 hrs (depending on quality setting). From...

Review of Sony DCR-DVD810

Strengths: Good stability control for pictures.

Weakness: Weight is still a bit too much for this type of camera.

Like the multiple recording media that it provides such as mini DVD, memory stick pro duo, and the 8GB of internal capacity is nice. Also, the many interface types (e.g. s-video, USB) are very handy to use. Again, would prefer the weight to be a bit less than 15 oz.

Very easy to use; flexible recording medias

Strengths: can record to the internal hard disk, memory stick pro duo and DVD

Weakness: can be smaller

After lots of research, I bought this camera for its long-time recording capability which is the combination of 3 different media (thus the total recording time is very long). It's so easy to use that my 14 year old niece can picked it up and recorded my graduation ceremony without any problem. The size of camera is bigger than I thought but this is my first camera so I'm just nitpicking. The...

DVD 810

Strengths: Compact Size, easy to use, both internal and DVD recording options

Weakness: Night mode

This is the most economic camcorder that one can ask for its price and the value it provides.It gives an option to record in its 8gb internal memory as well as an option to record in the conventional mini DVDs.It is damn easy to use, I didn't even had to open the instruction to do my first recording.Night mode suffers some weakness, but overall the product is a good buy !!
