Sony DCR-DVD201 Handycam DVD Camcorder - High Price, But Not Performance

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: I still don't quite understand why somebody would pick the DVD-based camcorder over the tape one. Yes, the discs look shiny and more...
Review: Friends do that. They ask you for an advice on which camcorder to buy and then buy something you told them not to get. Based on my recent experience with Sony DCR-DVD101 mini-DVD camcorder, I recommended my friend to stay away from DVD-based...

Looks Nice, Easy to Use, Not for Budget Minded

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: Still undecided. Less resolution than competitors, but much higher pixels. Looks real good, but expensive. DVD-RW is a good recording format for DVD players. Sleek looking.

Customers of mine coming in to browse the camcorders often linger around the mini DVD...
