a person who enjoys quality, impressed with this product, cost-conscious, a comparison shopper, Every day computer user, happy to play with my kids, loving this product
I'm a single parent and I was shopping around for a hand held camcorder that would meet my expectations in both quality homemade dvd's and my budget! My Sony was affordable and well worth the purchase. The camcorder is easy to use (not a lot of buttons to figure out) and with a click of a finger can be changed to still pictures that can be stored on the memory card if needed. The camcorder has the ability to add back light in recordings of dark settings and zoom in to the finest of detail using the optical and digital zoom features. The…

impressed with this product, practical, a bargain hunter, a busy person
I love that the DVD's can go straight from the camera to the DVD player. It can perform a few advanced functions (fade-ins, fade-outs, etc.). However, there is also the basic functions for everyday users like me. You can even switch the menu from "advanced" to "basic" so that if you're operating it with basic functions, you don't have all those advanced options to have to scroll through. I do not use it enough at night to justify buying the flash. So, I was pleased to find when tinkering with it one night that it has a "back light switch" that does give a…

I got this thing...last month, I liked it, i m not like professional in this matter...i enjoy this prodcut — The one feature in which it did not live up to our expectations was for the still photographs. Although it can take stills, the quality of the stills is nowhere near as high as the quality of the video. An advantage of the photographic capability is that you can fit about 20,000 photos on the typical size of memory stick available now. — In addition to the high quality hardware, the supplied software is also excellent, ease of use, and practically runs itself. It does…

I had the old Sony Hi 8mm bought in 1998 and was impressed with its quality only now replaced that with the DCR-DVD108. It's sleek and compact. Like its video quality in low light (especially indoor). Just chaning the discs every 30 mins is a bit a of problem while recording my daughter's singing concert that went for about 60 mins. I still have the Hi 8mm which is bit bulky compared to the 108 but records a lot longer. Zoom button should have been where the on/off switch is. So it will be easy for the index finger to access it. I love the 40x Optical Zoom. It's rare to see this kind of zoom…

a comparison shopper, married, impressed with this product, not rich, cost-conscious, a home owner
This product is wonderful and easy to use. The DVD's just pop out and go directly into the DVD player after you've finished recording. The DVD's only hold approximately 30 minutes of information at a time. It is so easy and convenient. I love it. I purchased the higher priced model by Sony and plan to use it for years to come. It would be nice to see DVD's which hold longer amounts of recorded time in the future. I recommend the purchase of an extra battery and handy plug in charger for added convenience. …
