- Very good for the price
Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical ZoomVery good optics and ease of recording. I still have a lot to learn about how to use the camera, but so far I like it. I tried to use the LP feature because what I used it for did not require a high degree of definition. The owner's manual says it will record 120 minutes on a disc if there is not a lot of start and stop. In fact, it lasted only about 60 minutes with no start or stop after the first start and the last stop. I would also have liked the ability to plug in a remote microphone to avoid ambient noise and get the speaker's voice more clearly. Over all, however, very satisfied.

- For the price, excellent
I purchased this camcorder a few days ago for my dad, I must say I am quite impressed with it. I compared the Canon DC310/320, Panasonic VDR50, and the Sony 610/710. I went to the store biased in favour of the Canon based on the specifications alone. But what a huge disappointment the canon cameras were. They look cheap, the plastic is cheap, the buttons are flimsy, the buttons next to the screen were tiny and the on screen info was not clear at all. Canon's design department needs to wake up, I have tried quite a few canon entry level/mid range products in the recent past and have come up very disappointing with design and build quality. To make things worse, there was noise all over the place, indoor light wasnt great, but the dark carpet had light green and red spots all over on the LCD. The zoom action was quick. The one aspect where Canon trumps is that it has optical image stabilization, not found on the sony. ... Read More

- A Great Gift for a New Parent!
When my oldest daughter had her first child (it was also my first grandchild) two years ago I bought her a digital camera and printer. I have been since rewarded by receiving many photos of my favorite (and only) grandchild.

Now, for my granddaughter's second birthday, I bought her this video camera. After reading many of the reviews for this and other camcorders on Amazon I picked the Sony DCR-DVD610 because met all of the needs that I had for a camcorder that I would give as a gift:

1. POPULAR. Almost everyone who purchased this item was very happy with it. This was not so with all of the best-selling camcorders, even those at twice the price.

2. EASY. I wanted to get her one that was fairly easy to use. I read the instruction book on-line and felt that this fit the bill.

3. DVDs. It was important to me that it used some sort of DVD as the primary recording ... Read More

- Great Camera - Hybrid is the key
Have had this camera for two weeks now and it has surpassed my own expectations, which were fairly high. Picture quality and ease of use are superb, but I can't overestimate the hybrid feature. Being able to record to memory stick and then dub copies to mini-DVD all within the camera when you're on the road is fantastic. This allows you to make copies for people on the fly. The memory stick makes editing a cinch too. Just pop it in your memory card reader and load the converted mpg files into Vista Movie Maker, then have some fun!
