 Good for a year... July 15, 2010

I recieved this product faster than expected and it worked great up until about a year after I purchased it and then the DVD compartment would not close. The amount it cost to repair it was almost the amount to just purchase another one. This time I decided to purchase from Best Buy.
P.S. The camcorder itself provided clear picture and great zoom as I used it daily for business purposes.
pretty good December 1, 2009

its been close to two years, not had any issues except some disks, also sony went bad while playing, not sure if this is caused by the camcorder or by the disks themselves.
 Way too many deficiencies February 16, 2009
Love Our Cats (& Dog) (Boulder, CO)
I received this camcorder two years ago as a holiday gift (which coincided with the birth of our daughter). I was extremely grateful to receive such a gift but in hindsight I would never have purchased this particular unit.
1. The video picture quality is very bad. It's very grainy and on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 3.5 - It boasts a Carl Zeiss lens, however I'm sure even Carl would be extremely disappointed.
2. The microphone picks up the mini-DVD drive noise. During playback, every 8 seconds or so, you hear a "digital gurgling noise." If any of you have ever seen the Predator movie, its voice is what you'll constantly hear throughout your recordings.
3. It's impossible to take footage from these mini-DVDs and burn them to standard DVDs for anyone to watch in their stand alone players. What is it that most people use camcorders to film? Family footage. Most people would also love to share family footage with....family. However that's not possible. Oh I know you're supposed to be able to do it with the Nero package, however the one that came with my camcorder isn't compatible with Windows Vista. The solution? I have to buy a newer version of Nero. So let's examine this... I have a $700 - yes, SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLAR - camcorder and the only way I can use it to its full capabilities is if I buy more software? Wow. Good one Sony (and Nero) you guys really nailed that one.
In all, this camcorder and its peripherals are a disaster. The video quality of your recordings are mediocre at best, the audio track is painfully annoying because the mic picks up the noise of the DVD drive, and the footage that you do capture is only viewable on your camcorder and/or computer but in no way is transferable for others to view at their leisure. You really nailed the captured the market with this one Sony *rolleyes*
And now I'm stuck with this useless (very expensive) POS and the double edge sword of it is that I have 2 years worth of footage of our daughter with which I'd like to make a DVD for all our family... yet I can't. Again, good one Sony - you really did it this time.
 Love this camcorder!!!!!!! March 17, 2008

After two months of studying the reviews, looking at company websites and determining my needs I selected The Sony DCR DVD305 Camcorder. It is a perfect size, easy to use and carry. I was extremely impressed by the ease of use and finalizing of the discs. We watched our daughter's wedding shower the other night and it was like being there all over. Better for my husband ( he didn't have to go). I purchased this at the end of last year in preparation for a trip to France and our daughter's up coming wedding. I wanted to practice before hand.
I also purchased the Memorex discs and have been very pleased with them and have ordered more. Sony does have a reminder on screen to use their discs if you use another company's product, but it isn't long.
I would suggest buying a battery with more usage time in addition to the one that comes with the camera.
I love it!! May 29, 2007
