Love this Camcorder!

We bought the Sony DCR-DVD108 last year before our cruise through Europe. We have always just used our cell phones or digital cameras to snap pictures, and being a middle-aged guy not too familiar with many entertainment electronics, I was somewhat intimidated by a Camcorder. My partner and I had a lot of fun with this device. We just used it again last month in the Caribbean, and will be taking it to Europe again this September!
I would have given this a 5-star rating but cannot because of one little issue (and of course I didn't notice this until after our trip last year and we were editing 9 DVD's)...but that is when I pushed the zoom button, I would let go of the button too quickly and you can hear a "click". It's OK at first, but after a a few DVD's, it was irritating. Luckily we are having these (finally) edited and most of it will be put to music. When we were on our last trip to the Caribbean last month, I was cognizent of this and was careful not to quickly release the zoom button; however, when you're in the moment of taping, it's sometimes hard to remember you can't quickly zoom and release the button without that annoying sound.
If you have never owned one of these, you really don't realize how often you will zoom, but you will. The zoom function is really incredible. Just be careful not to let go of the zoom button too quickly. From what our DVD editor tells us, this is a common issue with most Camcorders...the only other option is to turn the sound off...but that wouldn't be fun!
The camera takes great movies AND great pictures. The night vision was great too. We took some vids of some of the evening performances on the last Caribbean cruise, and they turned out pretty cool. We did purchase a wide angle lens recently, as well as a polarizer.
I love this little guy and when we're ready to upgrade will get another Sony. |
