Reviews on Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Digital Camcorder
Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Digital Camcorder
Strengths: No rewinding tape to find a scene while filming. Fast, Simple and QUICK. This is the camcorder I have waited for 10 years to own. GOOD digital PIC camera too.
Weakness: Power consumption is huge. BIG QM91 battery is a MUST. Battery supplied is only good for an hour using the LCD screen. Due to high demand, discs in local stores are scarce...GO TO INTERNET. Plentiful.
This camera is a sweetheart and I have waited WAY too long for it. As with OBSOLETE ALL tape drive camcorder products, recordable DVD is the way of the future. Rewinding tape is NOT cool and will go away like this VHS tapes did. I use ONLY the Sony double sided DVD-RW 2.8gig ( Yes, double sided) which gives you 1 full hour of SP quality recording time. These double sided discs are availble for...
Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Digital Camcorder
Strengths: It has a nice 3.5" LCD. I like the idea of recording and popping the dvd in you dvd player. Battery lifetime is good if you dont use the lcd.
Weakness: Lost 20 minutes of video also. It will not read one of the dvds but i can play it on my dvd player. I have doubts when i record, Will i lose this video? Should i continure recording? thats what i ask.
Bought it for a vacation we had planned. Lost 20+ minutes of video. It does not read one of the mini dvds but i can play it on my dvd player. I would not buy this product again. I should have bought the min digital tapes. At least you dont have the worrys of losing data on disc. Discs are more fragile than the tapes. You can scratch a tape and it will work but it wont on a cd.
Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Digital Camcorder
Strengths: Ease of use
Weakness: Cost of Discs. But i bought the RW's so i can reuse them. 6 discs are plenty for me. When i am done with each disc i take them home and copy them on my computer, to a CD.
I have the Sony DVD 300. It replaces a sony Hi8. This camera is very user friendly. The picture quality is excellent. I used it on vacation in gatlinburg, and when i got home i popped it in my cd player. It was really awesome to be able to see the pics. The camera is really an excellent buy. I bought it at a price match at sears for 845.00 dollars. I would never pay the 1100 dollars that it...
Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Digital Camcorder
Strengths: Quality is top shelf, it's easy to use and can be played back on most any DVD
Weakness: Disks are about $10.00 and it loves eating up batteries (really no worse than some other models) Just get the BIG BATTERY and u won't have an issue
Easy to learn and use, pic's are @ your finger tips everyone around u looks and keeps looking when they realize your recording on disk. Keep in mind their like audio disks treat them with respect and u will have them forever. Jusy Buy it.
Sony DCR-DVD300 DVD-R/-RW Camcorder
You might think that Sony, with its reputation for innovation, would have been first to market an idea like a DVD camcorder. While Hitachi claimed that honor a while ago, Sony has nonetheless come on strong with its first line of DVD camcorders, which include the DCR-DVD100 ($899), the DVD200 ($999) and the top-of-the-line model reviewed here, the DVD300 ($1,099). With features like in-camera...

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Digital Camcorder
Strengths: It is a Sony, and that says a lot for the quality. The small DVD disk is easy to play back on a DVD player or DVD compatable computer. The camera works well in low light.
Weakness: "Finalizing" the disk is required in order to be used in other equipment. The camera must remain still during "finalizing", and this can only be done while in the camera.
This is a very nice camera and I would have rated it higher, but "Satisfactory" is the highest rating you can select if you would not purchase it again. We thought the disks would be easier to work with and less trouble. The disks are hard to find, and if you are in a tourist area with no camera shops around, they are impossible to find. The disks are fragile and easily damaged, a lot of time is...
