Expert Review

 

The DCR-DVD105 is Sony's entry-level DVD camcorder, with an initial MSRP of $500. Like other Sony camcorders, it is very simple to use. Ease of use is the area in which Sony consistently excels, making this model a sure-pleaser for novice or...

Sony DCR-DVD105 Camcorder Review - Sony DVD Camcorders

Great camera

 

Some settings are slightly confusing, but the camera is fairly easy to get setup & running... it even has an EASY button to set everything automatically for you!

The NightShot feature is awsome, I can take nice wildlife footage of critters in my yard at night that my camera couldn't capture in low light

Bring lots of blank mini cds with you
