Full review

Bought one of these for Xmas as some people are now starting to sell of ex-display models, which makes them a bargain.

With a baby on the way I was looking for a camcorder that I could use to record those family moments as he grows up, and with this little device I think I have it. This camcorder has great specifications, 3 mega pixel CCD and 16:9 being the most important for me. This camera is also very easy to use, infact i think i have only looked in the manual once, and that was more cause I am not up with the photo/videography lingo.

The ability to record to DVDs is very handy and very versatile. Although you can not record more than 30 mins per DVD, you are able to keep the DVDs for life if you want to. Personnaly I have been using DVDs from the £1 shop and I have not had a problem. You do get a message telling you that you should be using Sony media but this soon goes away.

The biggest problem I had with the device out of the box, is that the battery is charge through the camcorder, but not to worry; i just logged on to ebay and order my self two better batteries and a standlone charge which i can even use in the car. This little set of goodies cost me about £15 delivered....BARGAIN!

Although I have yet to get them you can get add on lens for this camcorder, one being a wide angle lens and the other being a 2x zoom. Friends of mine have told me that the wide angle is a good investment, however the 2x is only really need if you are outdoors filming something like birds. Again you can get these cheap on ebay, although they would not look as good as the sony ones; they are a 1/3 of the cost though.

As a conclusion I would say for the £200 that I spent on this camcorder it was an absolute bargain. Great features, easy to use, good quality, with the only quibble being that it would be nice if it had a 20x zoom. however for filming the family grow, and holidays etc this is not something I really need.

Handy little camcorder
Review of Sony Handycam DCR DVD404E by Aynsley1980

Advantages: Can record straight to DVD
Disadvantages: DVD's can be difficult to find

This is a snappy little digital video camera. This is incredibly simple to use and is great for capturing that special moment. It can also be used as a digital camera and has a slot for a memory card too, although you can put your digital photo's onto the DVD. The main disadvantage I found was price. I paid more than double the price (£1079) in a catalogue compared with everyone else online! You must have a DVD in it straight away for you to start ...
...get a carry case which I was disappointed with. It's a touch screen and the screen can be rotated. With you being able to record onto a DVD, you get a full 30 minutes recording time, with a battery life of around an hour to an hour and a half, if the screen is kept closed and you only look through the view finder, then this preserves the battery power too. Also comes with a handy remote control and screen cleaning cloth. ... Read review
