So far so good I just have it for a month. So far it does what supposes to do. The resolution is a bit low but I didn't expect much for this price. I still have a problem with memorystick. It didn't work properly. I returned and got a replacement and still didn't solve. So be careful if you think you would rely on the Hybrid function on this camera,you may be disappointed. I also found out that it's not compatible with the high speed memory stick.

Read before you buy The biggest drawback of this camcorder is that it uses Sony 3" Rewritable DVD+RW. And it has only 30 minutes storage capacity. So after every 30 minutes you need to change the DVR. Now who will use a camcorder with just 30 minutes of one time recording capacity? These are the days of hard drive based camcorders where most competitors use a 40/60 GB hard drive which gives around 1000+ minutes of video. Unfortunately Sony decided to use them in their high end camcorders.

Very good for the price Very good optics and ease of recording. I still have a lot to learn about how to use the camera, but so far I like it. I tried to use the LP feature because what I used it for did not require a high degree of definition. The owner's manual says it will record 120 minutes on a disc if there is not a lot of start and stop. In fact, it lasted only about 60 minutes with no start or stop after the first start and the last stop. I would also have liked the ability to plug in a remote microphone t...

For the price, excellent I purchased this camcorder a few days ago for my dad, I must say I am quite impressed with it. I compared the Canon DC310/320, Panasonic VDR50, and the Sony 610/710. I went to the store biased in favour of the Canon based on the specifications alone. But what a huge disappointment the canon cameras were. They look cheap, the plastic is cheap, the buttons are flimsy, the buttons next to the screen were tiny and the on screen info was not clear at all. Canon's design department needs to wake up, I...

A Great Gift for a New Parent! When my oldest daughter had her first child (it was also my first grandchild) two years ago I bought her a digital camera and printer. I have been since rewarded by receiving many photos of my favorite (and only) grandchild.
Now, for my granddaughter's second birthday, I bought her this video camera. After reading many of the reviews for this and other camcorders on Amazon I picked the Sony DCR-DVD610 because met all of the needs that I had for a camcorder that I would give as a gi...

Great Camera - Hybrid is the key Have had this camera for two weeks now and it has surpassed my own expectations, which were fairly high. Picture quality and ease of use are superb, but I can't overestimate the hybrid feature. Being able to record to memory stick and then dub copies to mini-DVD all within the camera when you're on the road is fantastic. This allows you to make copies for people on the fly. The memory stick makes editing a cinch too. Just pop it in your memory card reader and load the converted mpg files in...

Great video. Easy to transfer to PC This is a great camcorder. I use the highest quality and the videos have very good quality. Transfering the videos to the computer is very easy, just set the camera in USB mode, connect cables to camera and PC using the USB cable provided and copy the mpeg files to your computer. One file is created everytime you start and stop recording which makes it easy to create a DVD menu.
Another feature that I like is the ability to record video either using the mini DVDs or memory stick. I ...

Baby due in 2 days and still without a camera All sounds great, records to memory stick, I think I have finally found a camera that I can just plug in an upload video to my ibook- NO LUCK! It records video and still images to memory stick but only the still images are recognized. SHOULD BE PRINTED ON THE BOX THAT IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MAC.

A great purchase! I bought this for my daughters graduation present.
We were able to use it to record her graduation; she used it to record some memories of her brother & sister visiting for the occasion. She was able to operate it easily without confusion, I am not one who can normally be trusted to purchase anything electronic,but; I was able to make this well thought out purchase with the help of comparing similar items on Amazons' website. The value for the price is awesome! I was able to purchase the ...
