Product Description

Why rent DVDs when you can make your own with the DCR-DVD101 Handycam camcorder. It records high quality digital video on 3-inch DVD-R and DVD-RW media that can easily be viewed on most current DVD players and PCs. It is even capable of capturing thousands of 640 x 480 resolution JPEG images, making it a virtual digital still camera. It's perfect for vacations, holidays, or other family events. Despite its small size, the DCR-DVD101 comes with all the features you would expect from a high-end camcorder, such as a 10X optical zoom, a 2.5" hybrid SwivelScreen LCD display, and Super NightShot Plus infrared system. It even includes a 1/6" Advanced HAD CCD imager and a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, which combine to give unmatched image quality.

Stay Away.......2006-07-04

Unless have no need to edit. This is completely incompatable with non-sony software.

It almost works with Adobe Premier Elements, but causes crashes. To use with an Apple, you have to convert the format to MPEG (MPEG4 works best) and the signal is horribly distorted in the process.

The Pixela software is buggy, but works, but not well. If you think that because it is a USB device that it is easy to use, you are wrong. (as I was)

Not to mention Sony's history of installing viruses on your computer without permission.

we were given this $900 recorder right after the birth of our child so we got some great movies of him.At 6 months we got a format error on display screen and weren't able to discharge dvd.called sony troubleshooting and not very helpful staff read from a manual which didnt apply to our model, called 3 times each time told warranty ran out(3months) and to send it to them for $250 they would look at it.so now i have a camcorder that doesnt work and a company that doesnt stand behind its product

Why all the trouble reviews? We love ours........2005-12-08

We have had one a few years now, our first video camera dvd. It was easy to setup, try out and plug into the tv or pop in the dvd and see what we took. We love the features it comes with and the editing part we didn't really have much trouble once we read the instructions. I'm sure if you mess around with it without reading the instructions it would be confusing. But once you know what your doing, your fine. We have used this at home as well as on numerous trips over the years. We had no problems or flaws with sony or the camcorder. Original batteries are still working fine and recharging. We have two batteries we carry with us as well as extra dvd's as they do fill up fast; but what a better way to store your memories!

First of all, for you people with a short attention span - DO NOT GET THIS CAMERA !!! Now for everyone else, this camera has been one of the biggest thorns in my side in recent memory - it started pretty good - it is easy to take video and pictures the LCD screen is good the zoom is above average for the price and the on screen picture is good. But try to move on from there. The Image Mixer software must have been written by morons. It is convuluted time consuming and not compatible with anything (except perhaps a 1985 version of Super Mario Brothers) - Then came the issue of it writing over previously recorded video for no reason - And finally it decided that anytime you removed a disc and put it back in - it had to be reformated. I contacted Sony who politly told me to use a disc rescue service and have a Sony center check it out - I have been on many boards that talked about the same problems - I have never kicked myself so much over a piece of electronics - Avoid it at all costs

DVD Great, ImageMixer tough to learn.......2005-04-29

These are great for quick DVD renditions of home video, but a bit tougher if you have to spend time in the very-difficult-to-learn and use ImageMixer software. If all you want is to shoot your home movies and make a DVD really fast, this is the camera for you. Great lens, great machine, lousy lousy software. ImageMixer (Pixela) support was very good, but the software leaves a lot to be desired. This camera is not compatible with the MAC platform, a real shame.
