Sony DCR-DVD650 review: Sony DCR-DVD650

 

Sony DCR-DVD650

Simple operation; records to DVDs or Memory Stick flash media.

Soft video; noticeable purple fringing on subjects; DVDs not ideal storage medium.

The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650 offers an all-in-one, on-the-go way to capture standard-def video and burn it to a DVD, but hard-disk-drive and flash-memory models are otherwise a better option.

Think again

 

I am completely appalled and in disbelief that this is a Sony product! The camera itself is beautiful and the touch screen makes it fun to use. Battery life, weight and size were great. The horror came when I played back my recordings on TV. Total...
