Sony DCR-DVD910

 

The DCR-DVD910 is the top-of-the-line DVD camcorder in Sony's standard definition group for 2008. On paper, it's an improvement on last year's DCR-DVD508, but the result is an unimpressive camcorder that simply can't compete in today's shrinking market...

The Sony DCR-DVD910 comes with a 1/5-inch CMOS sensor and 15x optical zoom. It records exclusively to DVD, even though the step-down model (the Sony DCR-DVD810) records to DVD, 8GB of internal memory, or removable MemoryStick cards. DVDs typically have...

Good kit

I purchased this kit for our Sony Handycam. This is a good kit, and a great buy. The only thing I would say is that the case, although well-made, is a little small to have anything other that the camera inside. But, I ended up getting this kit, a 4...

Product Specifications

The DCR-DVD910 matches powerful features with ease of use. The ClearVid CMOS sensor (with Exmor technology) and BIONZ image processor capture sharply detailed images. Face Detection technology is also included, improving your video and still images by adjusting focus, color and brightness of faces in the shot. For superb sound reproduction, the built-in zoom microphone with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording syncs with the camera's zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialog and crisp, discrete sounds. The DCR-DVD910 is also quite flexible, allowing you to record everything directly to DVD or removable Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media using Hybrid recording technology.
