| drbillz's Full Review: Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300 DVD Camcorder |
I've only had the camcorder for about a week. I generally pick new ideas and things up fairly quickly. The camcorder itself works very well and is pretty easy to use after a short learning curve. Low light quality is fine on video and yeah the stills could use a flash...but it isn't bad by any stretch.
I wish I could say the same about the software that came with it. It is clumsy at best. I figured out how to combine video sections on the camcorder's DVD into the software(computer) and then back to the camcorder to make a copy. It is a little slow and not very "common-sensical". I have yet to figure out how to make a copy of the stills to a CD or copy them back to the camcorder(other than to make a "movie" out of them..... takes a ton of time for the software to convert the stills).
If there is other software available out there, I intend on finding it !
Camcorder: 9 out of 10 :)
Software: 3 out of 10 :( :(
