Sony DVD610 Great camcorder. Easy to use, small enough to carry in coat pocket vs bag, very light. No cons yet. I used reviews on Amazon to decide my purchase. Also Sony products are dependable.

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...
