Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205 review: Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205

 

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205

Generally fast autofocus and autoexposure.

Middling video quality; no windscreen filter for microphone; small LCD with impractical touch-screen-based menu system.

The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205 is as middling as its sibling, the DCR-DVD305; however, it eschews the impractical features of the DVD305 for a lower price tag, making it a better bargain.

The Handycam DCR-DVD205 Great For The Unprofessional

 

Two months after the birth of my son, I only had photographs of him to remember him years down the road as a baby. Thinking that was not enough, I considered buying a camcorder. After countless hours on the internet, searching for a good deal and what ...
