Advanced HAD CCD The Advanced (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD design allows more light to reach the imager, which reduces video noise to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Discs will be able to hold up to 60 minutes of video (LP Mode). In the DVD-RW format, users will have the flexibility to do simple in-camera editing. This includes the ability to erase the last video and re-shoot the desired scene. In addition, in VR (Video Recording) mode, users can design a playlist of video clips, rearrange the order of the scenes, and insert images for a more customized assembly. Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens The camcorder's Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens uses an advanced optical multi-layer lens coating that reduces glare and flaring, while providing improvement in detail and contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones. SwivelScreen Touch Panel LCD Screen With the touch panel monitor, you no longer need worry about using a joystick or mess of buttons to access in-camera features and effects. Dolby Digital AC-3 (2 Channel) Stereo Audio Recording This mode is an advanced form of digital audio recording, with sophisticated noise reduction technology, all of which provides outstanding, lifelike sound quality in almost any situation. Digital Still Memory Mode Captures high quality still images at 640 x 480 resolution directly to a Memory Stick PRO memory stick. The camcorder stores the images in the JPEG format, providing easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing, or sharing with family and friends. Super NightShot Plus Infrared System An advanced version of the NightShot Infrared System, Super NightShot Plus allows users to record natural color images in low-light conditions.

Patrick Scott 4.0 out of 5 stars No complaints. Overlall I am satisfied for ease of use, etc. If one is a casual video camcorder user, if one is going to simply view the video captured directly from the Mini-CD to a TV (via a DVD player), then, the camcorder is ideal for those purposes. As others have stated, the quality of video recorded to Mini-CD is inferior to the quality of camcoder-to-mini-tape recordings. I was aware of that but expected --hoping for the impossible-- almost tape-like video quality. It does not produce tape-like quality.http://gbb.global/blog/bose-manual-lifestyle-28 Whenever I view one of our newly created videos on a TV, I regret not having bought a mini-tape camcorder. My wife, kids, family, etc., on the other hand, think that the video is fine.It's ideal for taking family videos and mailing the mini-CD to family, friends, etc. I would have returned the product if not for the high Amazon restocking fee (20). I gave it four stars since it performs as described.Since we didn't have a lot of time to get familiar with it, we were looking for something that was easy to use right out of the box. I also have relatively high expectations for quality and performance and so far, this camcorder has exceeded on all accounts. You can pick either 3:4 (old TV's) or 16:9 (Widescreen TV's) aspect ratios. The 40x optical zoom is more than adequate for just about every situation.We've only used the highest quality record setting and have been very impressed with the clarity of the video. I would liken them to DVD quality and far better than an ordinary TV broadcast. The mini DVD format is very convenient, although it should be said that each DVD only holds about 24 min of footage at the highest quality setting. This is really not a problem because the disks are inexpensive and the RW format allows you to reuse them over and over again. You have the option to pop them right into your DVD player where all your individual clips are organized in a menu for easy viewing. To edit your files, you'll want to use your computer. The software provided with the camera is actually very good for basic editing and archiving video files so that you can reuse the DVD, if they are RW format.Other than these two issues, it has been working fine. Speaking of the software, its just horrible. You need to connect the handy cam to your computer to install the software (why would i install this useless software if i don't have this handy cam).http://inter-buss.com/images/canon-eos-a2e-manual.pdfI used this to tape my kids' christmas concerts and was sitting on the other side of a dark gym and was able to zero in on my childs face and get a great shot. The battery holds a decent size charge. I found the camera super easy to figure out and the discs go right into my computer CD drive and I was easily able to download and edit them in my computer. I am not super computer knowledgable either. My one complaint is that I can't find DVD's large enough to record more than 30 minutes at a time, usually 30 minutes would be plenty but for my daughters gymnastics recital it wasn't enough time and we are going on vacation and I would rather not have to take a bunch of discs with me.In order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading. For an entry-level camcorder, the color balance is good. The only color that looked simply too exaggerated to excuse is blue. What is it with Sony and blue. In years past, blue noise was rampant in Sony images, regardless of the light levels. Last year, blue noise seemed to have been quarantined to low light. This year, at least from what we’ve seen in the low-end models, blue saturation is up, and certainly making a starring role in low light. There’s definitely a lot of oversharpening going on. Also, in areas of high-density information, like the tight bands of the resolution trumpet, there was a lot of discoloration. The apparent sharpness was about equal to the DCR-DVD108. Last year’s entry-level Panasonic VDR-D100 was near-indistinguishable to last year’s DVD105 in terms of color, making it less saturated than the DVD108. The VDR-D100 did have the advantage of a sharper image. The poor vertical resolution was surprising. We also saw a lot of bad discoloration in areas of dense information. Better imagers tend to simply blur the lines as they get too tight. Bad imagers, like this one, create strange yellow and blue overtones that look like a surreal Cub Scout kerchief. Under an even 60 lux lighting, the CCD shows its limitations quite clearly. The image is considerably darker than it was at 3000 lux. And while most of the color spectrum darkened in commensurate measures, the blue areas exploded with oversaturation and blue noise. It really looks terrible. This may actually stem from the (apparently) boosted resolution this year. Last year’s DCR-DVD105, with the same size imager, had less saturation in bright light, and here in low light, the noise doesn’t look so bad. The DC220 had oversaturated greens, but no strong blue noise. Overall, the Canon image looked better. The Panasonic VDR-D100 was probably the best of the four camcorders here. It lacked color differentiation in the yellow-green portion of the spectrum, but the color performance overall was good. There were loads of fine-grain noise, but it was a blackish noise strongly preferable to discoloration. Medium grain noise picked up tremendously. Of course, this is all expected for an entry-level camcorder, but it’s never fun to witness. The Sony DCR-DVD105 was essentially the same. The Canon DC200 managed to push through more color information, but the image looked terrible overall due to noise. The Panasonic VDR-D100 once again turned in the best performance, noisy as hell but managing to salvage some color while retaining adequate amounts of fine detail. At 60 lux, the camcorder produced a color error of 14.7, according to Imatest imaging software. This is a high number, and one of the indications that you’re working with a lower-end sensor. The noise levels averaged out to 1.995, with a very high percentage in the blue channel, and a saturation level of 60.75. Speed 2 simulates a shake more like running or shooting from a slow-moving car car. The DCR-DVD108’s EIS produced a 60 shake reduction at speed 1, and a 20 shake reduction at speed 2. Given these scores, the DCR-DVD108’s image stabilization exceeds the capabilities of most comparatively priced camcorders. These quality settings correspond to the speed of the data transfer. The highest quality, HQ, captures at approximately 9Mbps, then SP at 6Mbps, and LP at 3Mbps. The difference between the settings is obvious. Almost invariably, you’ll want to record in HQ. Even at its best, standard definition MPEG-2 found in most camcorders is but a fraction of the quality that MiniDV camcorder compression uses. MPEG-2 of this variety is generally highly compressed.Many people seem to like having a physical record in their hand, particularly a non-tape media that can pop right into their computer or DVD player and offer random-access. However, the archivability of DVDs has been attacked in recent years, and manufacturers were forced to seriously overhaul their shelf-life estimations, down from 100 years (in some cases) to a much more dire 3-10 years, depending on construction materials and environment. If you own a DVD camcorder, you’ll probably want to back-up your footage to a storage drive. As a first step, you’ll have to use the included software or another intermediary software to create a unified file. This middle-step creates a stumbling block in the editing process that most serious videographers can do without, which is why DVD camcorders are better suited for the point-and-shoot crowd. For any real video work, you’ll want a true non-linear editing (NLE) program. In addition to their absolute market saturation and name recognition, this is the reason Sony does so well in the consumer market. Nearly every Sony camcorder has a little Easy button on the side of the body. Once in Easy mode, the camcorder goes into idiot-proof lockdown. The menu is abbreviated, and the buttons get bigger and friendlier. There are surely some people out there owning a Sony camcorder that have never taken it out of Easy mode and gotten along just fine through backyard barbeques and their children’s baseball games. Moving from dark to light, the DVD108 shows a slight tendency to overexpose, particularly if you’re zoomed in too close to a subject. This usually corrects after a few seconds or if you zoom out a little, indicating that the camera system may be doing a little center-weighted metering. (You do not have a choice of metering options with the DVD108.) It takes up to 8-9 seconds for the DCR-DVD108 to shift from an indoor fluorescent to an outdoor overcast temperature. The auto shutter and auto gain (more difficult to assess visually) worked well. They can be monitored during playback, but not while recording. Because the imager is small, it did not take much for the camcorder to max out the 15dB gain range. These are one-touch buttons that customized for optimum shooting under difficult lighting conditions. The range of choices here is really good. Only a select couple of Canon camcorders can top that list. Scene modes are convenient, especially in a pinch, and often beloved by point-and-shooters. It’s not a bad feature to activate if you plan on doing a lot of indoor or low light shooting. However, you’ll want to be more wary of Color Slow Shutter. At that speed, any motion whatsoever, even the tiniest hand wobble, would render an image blurry past comprehension. We expect it to be the best in its class in this category. As described above, there are a host of one-touch automatic features that can lend a hand, but they’re not quite manual controls. While access to controls is relatively fast, especially with Sony’s new menu system, the constantly greasy screen is annoying. When adjusting focus, the smudges are downright detrimental. Pushing the touch screen buttons on the DVD108 is genuinely more difficult that it should be. We found ourselves pushing three or four times before the camcorder reacted. You can read more about the menu here. As a synopsis, we can say that the zoom is the only satisfactory one. Even on their entry-level camcorder, they managed to include a pretty good zoom toggle. With the stubby, bumpy grip, you can get about three separate zoom speeds. The slowest gives you a good crawl. The fastest zoom takes about five seconds to traverse from one end to the other. When it reaches towards the end of the 40x zoom, the speed slows down noticeably. As you shift zoom, a scale appears in the upper-left corner, but there is no numerical indicator as to what the actual zoom power is. Like nearly all Sonys, there is a secondary set of controls on the LCD panel. They move the zoom at a fixed speed that corresponds to the medium speed from the toggle. The Sony DCR-DVD108 has one of the largest optical zooms to date in a consumer camcorder, 40x. It’s clear that inflated zoom numbers work well on the minds of consumers, because they get bigger every year as manufacturers try to best each other. A 40x zoom is one the DCR-DVD108’s biggest selling points. But it’s not necessarily working to the consumers’ advantage. Here’s the paradoxical problem with big zooms. Because of the way optics work, you’ll generally find small zooms on camcorders with large sensors. Conversely, you’ll find large zooms paired with small chips (not because they have to be, but because it’s possible, and because it’s a relatively cheap upgrade for a manufacturer to include). But these small chip, entry-level camcorders tend to have bad stabilization, making for poor, shaky video the farther you extend the zoom. The digital zoom (as if you actually need it past 40x), can be extended to 80x and 2000x. This is located in the home menu. Very few consumer camcorders provide satisfactory manual focus, least of all Sonys. Touch screen interface, by definition, is the worst for focusing, because as you interact with the menu, you’re smudging up the very screen that you need to properly gauge focus. The focus controls are located on the first tab of the function menu. When manual focus is engaged, two little icons appear on either side of the screen: a person and a mountain. To shift focus, tap the buttons. Another icon in the center actually gives you the focal length (in metric), which is great. It seems as if they’ve done everything they could think of to obscure the screen. Overall, it’s a terrible, terrible control. In order, perhaps, to circumvent this flaw, Sony offers a Spot Focus control. This would not work on a very complicated, multi-plane shot. Finally, the camcorder offers a one-touch tele macro feature which never seems to work. The DCR-DVD108’s exposure controls are only slightly better than the focus controls, if only because a smudgy screen can still be used to evaluate metering. Exposure controls are located in the second tab of the function menu. The manual exposure control looks an awful lot like the focus control. There are two touch screen buttons, a plus and a minus, that you use to brighten and darken the picture. A scale in the middle has 29 increments. There is no numerical indicator to tell you where in the scale you are, but that’s less of a problem here than during focusing. If you look at the LCD, you can generally tell if the image is bright enough. It works just like the Spot Function menu. Once activated, you touch at areas of the screen that you want to be properly exposed. These are described in detail above in the Automatic Controls section. Again, the auto controls will generally suffice. Many Canon and JVC models do grant you the privilege, as do all Panasonics. There is an automatic setting, an indoor present and an outdoor preset, and a manual settings, called One Push. Sony’s white balance adjustments tend to be the fastest in the market, but not always the most accurate. Almost invariably, the image looks a little warm. The control is very quick to access, however, which is always appreciated. Only Panasonic offers gain control in their consumer models. Quality settings can be found in the photo settings within the home menu. The DCR-DVD108 does not have a flash or video light, so be prepared for the most basic snapping experience. Well, for 2007, things are a bit different. Wow, did Sony realize this could be a great way to push MemoryStick sales. Nevertheless, offering separate media for video and stills helps organize, and card memory better emulates the experience of shooting with a real still camera (which is about the closest you’ll get to that experience with the DVD108). With a maximum VGA 640 x 480 resolution and only two quality settings—Fine and Standard—most cell phone can produce better images. Overall, don’t expect much. This is hardly a stand-in for a cell phone camera. At best, the DVD108 produced a color error of 6.25, with a 1.615 noise and 97.1 saturation. The colors, as it turned out, were pretty accurate. The noise counter-balanced it to some degree. More telling, perhaps, is the still resolution score below. Only by reading the EXIF data can you actually tell what’s happening to the camcorder when you use this control. The camcorder itself offers no clue. Sorry, folks. The menu icons and fonts grow twice as large and the function menu takes a hike. All you have to do is press record—that’s why Sony is so popular amongst point-and-shooters. Sony’s magical menu is undemanding and provides soothing sounds, should you wish to keep the beeps on. The automatic controls work fairly well and it is a breeze to toggle between auto and manual settings. The only issue we had was with selecting a manual setting. Once chosen, you are required to press the OK button, which brings you right back to the main screen instead of the function menu. As a result, you must set each manual control independently, which gobbles up time. No joysticks to deal with, so side-mounted menu button messes. However, the touch screen does have its shortcomings. You’ll hear this in every one of our Sony reviews, so here it is again: the touch screen is susceptible to fingerprint smudges, which obstruct the view of a clean image. Try using spot focus when you can’t tell the difference between an unfocused portion of the screen and a cloudy mass of oil-induced haze.The disc hatch takes way too long to open—expect an estimated wait time of 10 seconds. Also, the manual lens enclosure eliminates the need for an external lens cap, but relies on the user to remember to flip the switch after each shoot—the likelihood of that happening is almost nonexistent. Most moms and dads will chuck the DCR-DVD108 into their free PBS tote bags without even shutting it off. The tall stature of DVD camcorder bodies provides a solid grip. Coupled with this is a very nice, padded grip. The result is that rare camcorder that does not tip over to the left as soon as you let go. Once in hand, the zoom toggle and shutter button are perfectly located. Too often, the zoom toggle falls under the middle finger. Here, it’s placed under the index finger, as it should be. Unless you have incredibly long fingers, you won’t actually make contact with it, but the mic is likely to pick up fingers scraping across the plastic. Touch screens are magnets for the natural oils in your fingers. After only a few minutes, you’ll have difficulty gauging if the picture is in focus in intricate, multi-plane shots. Also, as you interact with touch screens, you’ll inevitably bump the body around, upsetting the shot. Joysticks manage to avoid all of these problems, and most of the other manufacturers are migrating towards them. Of course, you get what you pay for, and we wouldn’t count on this camcorder surviving a drop onto concrete. The two port covers are probably the cheapest plastic we’ve ever seen. It’s pretty amazing. Sticks of gum are tougher than these flimsy, flapping bits of detritus, and you should anticipate breaking them very soon. It’s the magical mystery menu—no other camcorder comes equipped with such a therapeutic sound scheme. Aside from that, it’s probably the most straightforward menu on the market. If you can look beyond the folly of the minute, smudge-prone touch screen interface—most consumers will—you will find that Sony’s menu layout induces a user-friendly shooting experience. The main screen is comprised of three buttons—home (top left corner), function (bottom right corner), and playback (bottom left corner). There is also a permanent, real, plastic home button located on the edge of the LCD panel. In movie settings, you can control the following options: record mode, NightShot light (although there’s a NightShot switch lodged within the crevice of the lens barrel and disc hatch ridge), wide select, digital zoom, steady shot, auto slow shutter, remaining recordable time, and sub-t date.This menu is a little less involved than the home menu, and contains the manual controls that you’d want at your immediate disposal. The first tab offers control over focus, spot focus, and tele macro, the second tab is composed of exposure, spot meter, and scene selection settings, and the third tab includes white balance, color slow shutter, and Super NightShot Plus. In the fourth tab, you can apply faders, digital effects, and picture effects. The fifth and final tab lets you choose the recording quality and set the microphone level. We do wish that the processor could generate the menu screens a little more quickly, particularly in the Home menu. It’s also a lightweight, tipping the scale at 440g (15oz.). The DCR-DVD108 uses 8mm DVD discs with a maximum record time of 20 minutes on single layer discs in the highest quality setting (you’ll need the highest quality setting, trust us). Therefore, if you plan on full day’s worth of shooting, you’d better have a bounty of backup in the camera bag. You’ll also want a backup battery, too. The supplied NP-FH40 battery pack will last you a whopping 45 minutes during typical recording time, including starting, stopping, zooming, and using the menu. The screen extends 90 degrees from the body and vertically swivels a full 270 degrees. After the recent HD boom (HD is only 16:9), it is bizarre to see such a square monitor, but we will always hold a place in our hearts for the standard definition era. Nevertheless, the DCR-DVD108’s nostalgia-conjuring charm will not excuse its stunted 123,200 pixel resolution and washed-out picture. Also, tread lightly with the DCR-DVD108’s viewfinder—it’s feebly constructed and revolves on a twig-like LCD hinge.It quashes Canon’s fixed plastic nub, extending a good inch out from the body. The eyecup is not rubberized though, so keep your distance—it’s hard to shoot with an eye patch. The viewfinder’s image looks crisper and more colorful—it proves to be a worthy alternative for power conservers. The dioptric adjuster is located on the right side of the viewfinder shaft for those with eyeglasses. Whenever the DVD-RW disc was full, the power supply was promptly connected to the camcorder and the disc was reformatted. The DCR-DVD108’s battery lasted a total of 110 minutes and 8 seconds, which is 15 minutes beyond the manual’s 95 minute estimation for continuous recording. This is a fairly decent performance for such a small battery pack, but it wouldn't hurt to purchase a backup for longer trips. The DCR-DVD108 records 2 channel Dolby Digital sound through its built-in stereo microphone mounted to the top of the camcorder. You won’t find a mic or headphone jack anywhere, so get used to the DCR-DVD108’s recorded audio. The only control you have over audio is setting the microphone level, accessed in the final tab of the function menu. Here you can choose between normal (for recording various surround sounds), and low (for recording loud, exciting noises—as Sony puts it). Either way, you won’t be able to tell a significant difference between modes because the sound quality is highly basic. There’s not even a windscreen on the DCR-DVD108. Overall, don't expect your audio to sound good. Sony has made it pretty darn difficult to miss the playback screen. To the left of the thumbnails is a scrolling navigation bar that shuffles between pages. The good news is that you can switch between videos and stills right in the same screen, without having to change modes. The bad news is that the photo options tab only lets you print, delete, and view images in a slideshow. No other options are available for video. Viewing still images is a bit more limited. On the right side near the mode dial is the DC input, covered by a rubberized strip of plastic. Within the LCD cavity you’ll find an open USB port and rectangular ramp designed to hold Sony MemorySticks. While most manufacturers slap an SD card slot on their camcorders, Sony aims to maximize their brand recognition by herding consumers into buying Sony-specific products. The problem with this is that Memory Sticks are generally more expensive than SD and SDHC cards of the same capacity. The USB cable was a nice touch, though. Sony wants you to buy your own MemoryStick too—how thoughtful of them. Choose between black and white. That’s pretty much what the tele macro feature does. When shooting in this mode, you’ll get the all-too-familiar greenish video look. When the DCR-DVD108 is turned off, press the battery info button located in the LCD cavity.
