| susjjan's Full Review: Sony Handycam® DCR-DVD201 Camcorder |
I am an avid movie maker and was excited to move to this new technology which would eliminate the long process of moving my movies over to my computer for editing. I loved the idea of just popping in the DVD and editing. The big problem with this camera is the unreliability of the files. I have had the camera for 2 months and have had two instances where I taped an entire DVD on high quality, finalized it, only to find when I tried to play it on my computer it was corrupted. Now I chose to use the DVD-RW to save money, which may be one of the problems, but the most recent corrupted file was on a new disk. I suppose if you don't mind losing memories at the drop of a hat, this camera is fine, but some moments you capture you cannot get back. At this point I am going to purchase a new tape camera because this one is unreliable. I wish I could take the camera back at this point.
I would advise anyone to wait on purchasing one of these cameras.
