4 out of 5 stars Great investment!   March 23, 2006

What I like: this camcorder is lightweight, great for movies & pictures. Easy to use. I've taken it on vacations and it works great in all weather conditions, overly sunny, rainy, fog, snow, and heavy winds. It's fair for indoor action as well. I'm the worst person for handling camcorders, I usually shake the picture making everyone dizzy. Using this camcorder, I've noticed there is less shake to my pictures.

What I don't like: the night shot is not good for low light, but it works fairly clearly in no light. The "easy" button doesnt quite make things easier. There is not very much battery time, but it is offset by the fact that the tape only goes about 30 minutes.

I found it very easy to use. the resolution is great for home use.
The Picture packge software worked as advertised, but when I shut the computer down, it hung with an error. According to the manufacturer of the software, they do not know if there is a conflict when using MS Windows XP media center OS. It worked fine with windows XP professional OS.

I've purchased this camcorder a month ago and it was one of the best buys in my whole life.
Movie quality is better than you could expect (at least beeing an amateur like me).
Still quality is not so good. I saw digital images taken using a digital camera and colours are much vivid than dcr-dvd203 (remember you are purchasing a camcorder)
Easy to use: 10. I had never used a camcorder before and this camcorder is EXTREMELY easy to use. Even without using the "EASY" button.

Pros: Easy to use, good movie quality, 2.7" LCD, Color Viewfinder, TouchScreen, SuperNightShot, DVD recording format.

Cont: No manual functions, can't record movies AND take pictures at the same time, poor still quality in low light spaces, just 30' to 45' using the battery supplied.

I have been very happy with this camera since we got it. The only potential negative would be battery life, although I don't hvae much to compare it with. Picture quality and ease of use are great. And it has an easy button, which geuinely works.

This little thing is wonderful. It takes great shots and video. Nightshot makes it easy to tape in the dark as well. Very small and very easy to use, on screen display of settings makes it even easier to use. No small buttons to fool with. So simple and easy to use. You can take video and pictures in sepia, black & white, pastel sketch, old movie and mosiac. Will also shoot across a basketball court making it look like you was out there with the players. And the software that came with it is amazing. You can add music and special affects to make awesome home movies. I just love all this. Its excellant for scrapbookers, mom's and anyone tired of boring, plain home movies.

I just had to come back and add after using this amazing little camcorder for awhile, I am still pleased with my purchase. It is so easy to use as well as the software that came with it. I have taped and taped over and over with it and couldnt ask for a better camcorder without shelling out mega bucks. You do have to finalize the disks before you can upload to a computer, but thats just as easy. And when you tape at night, it still shows up really clear, not so dark you cant see. If I had to purchase another, I would get this one again without a second thought about it. And its so easy to use in just one hand. If I could, I would give it 10 stars.
