Pros: DVD recording
Cons: poor low light performance
Summary: Colors become very faded when shooting indoors; almost look b&w. Supplied software is not very user friendly.

Summary: I bought this while out of town for MY wedding when my Sony TVR-11 died. I didn't have time to do my homework and trusted the bib box retail salesman who said it was a great replacement for my TVR. I found out later that my TVR had TWICE the video quality and didnt break until after four years. This piece of garbage DVD-101 broke after 6 hours and right before my wedding! (We didn't buy the out rageously priced extended warranty.) The store swapped it out with another one and it has now broke. A different problem this time. The first was a jammed disc door and this one's toggle switch that controls EVERYTHING has stopped working. The camera was never abused and rarely used. STAY AWAY from the DVD-101!!! I saw one in the store yesterday and went ahead and let the salesman make his pitch. He was clueless as he went on about how great it was. BTW: Anybody wanna buy a DVD-DOOR STOP?

Summary: I have used this camera on numerous occasions and quite honestly can't understand why some people say poor quality.
The video footage I have shot(DAYLIGHT)has been very good quality and I have perfect eyesight.
This camera avoids the hassles of having to transfer film to dvd.
A great buy which suits my needs.
Updated
Not enough people seem to be aware of the camera settings. I would urge people to READ THE MANUAL.

Pros: Had no problems recording on inexpensive DVD RWs from Office Depot. Works great. Can burn to regular DVDs and to Photo CDs. Found it at a spectacular price. Got great support from Sony (especially free on-line classes from Sony 101).
Cons: None, but I bought it NIB $280 under retail.

Overall good video camera
by

February 12, 2005
Pros: Very easy to use...point and shoot. Small, light. Good general video and sound quality. Can have the instant gratification of popping the mini-dvd out of the camera and into most dvd players and watching what was just recorded...pretty nice.
Cons: Software supplied with camera is VERY bad...hard to use and buggy (even with latest patch). Only translates using supplied software (none of comercially available video editing packages will read the files the camera records on the mini-dvd directly) and
