Best Review Sony DCR-DVD408 4MP DVD Handycam Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom


I got the handycam to film my son at the national beta club coonvention. It was exactly what I needed. The microphone picked up his voice well and the zoom picked up the picture. I got the camera for a song too.(385) Well below the price charged by other dealers. Very happy with this dealer. I would buy from him again.

dont buy - Dan J. Hart - missouri
DON'T buy the Sony DCR-DVD408. I bought directly from Sony------had trouble from the begining. I also bought the extened warranty. of course it was out of Sonys warrenty and they would not do anything to help and further more didn't care. So I thought at least I purchased the extended warrenty. I called them and they had me send it to Precision Camera, #3 anngina drive, enfield,ct 06082, my repair order from them was pcr tag number 2487869, the middle of march, 2009. The work was done on april 4th, 2009. When I got it back, it work at first. and thier warrenty is 90 days. As I don't use the unit much except during the holiday seasons, birthdays and special events, I got it out to use to record my nephews college basketball game, the reason I was going to was because his dad has prostate cancer and is not physiclly able to go, so I wanted him to at least see him play his second game, So I thought, of course it did the same thing again, called SONY WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME, CALLED THE WARRENTY COMPANY, MY CONTRACT RAN OUT IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR. My problem is if its doing the same thing why wouldn't any one help me out. So I'm warning you, there is a problem with the dvd door not opening, and don't worry you wont get any help from SONY. SO YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE, BUY A DIFFERNT BRAND. I'm in the retail buisness and have spent alot more than this mini dvd ever cost to help a good loyal customer happy. So I know the value of helping a customer out, SONY DOES NOT! THIS IS MY EXPERICENCE WITH THEM I'm sure some of the players are just fine, but if you get one like mine don't expect any help.







Great quality but a few functional problems - J. Andrew Harris -
This was a fabulous camcorder quality wise. But it is VERY difficult to connect it to the computer. You must "finalize" the disc to import the video on the computer, and then if you want to use that disc again you must "format" the disc which deletes all the videos on the disc. And if you want to delete some videos on the disc, you have to press all these buttons to get to a list of options, where you see the option you want, but it is grayed out. Or at least in my case. It has fantastic quality and works well and it has fairly simple buttons and the touch screen is mediocre.








Great video recorder! - Shyam Sundar - Seattle, WA USA
I recently purchased this as a gift for my cousin on the arrival of a new born. We took some videos of the baby and they came out really well. The sound quality is excellent and the auto focus works very well. The camera design is very intuitive and easy to use. This is overall a great buy!
