What I like: this camcorder is lightweight, great for movies & pictures. Easy to use. I've taken it on vacations and it works great in all weather conditions, overly sunny, rainy, fog, snow, and heavy winds. It's fair for indoor action as well. I'm the worst person for handling camcorders, I usually shake the picture making everyone dizzy. Using this camcorder, I've noticed there is less shake to my pictures. What I don't like: the night shot is not good for low light, but it works fairly clearly in no light. The "easy" button doesnt quite make things easier. There is not very much battery time, but it is offset by the fact that the tape only goes about 30 minutes.

I found it very easy to use. the resolution is great for home use. The Picture packge software worked as advertised, but when I shut the computer down, it hung with an error. According to the manufacturer of the software, they do not know if there is a conflict when using MS Windows XP media center OS. It worked fine with windows XP professional OS.

I've purchased this camcorder a month ago and it was one of the best buys in my whole life. Movie quality is better than you could expect (at least beeing an amateur like me). Still quality is not so good. I saw digital images taken using a digital camera and colours are much vivid than dcr-dvd203 (remember you are purchasing a camcorder) Easy to use: 10. I had never used a camcorder before and this camcorder is EXTREMELY easy to use. Even without using the "EASY" button. Pros: Easy to use, good movie quality, 2.7" LCD, Color Viewfinder, TouchScreen, SuperNightShot, DVD recording format. Cont: No manual functions, can't record movies AND take pictures at the same time, poor still quality in low light spaces, just 30' to 45' using the battery supplied.
