Sony DCR-DVD301 1MP DVD Handycam Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom

I waited in line in thanksgiving of 2004 to get this camcorder. I have not been disappointed at all. I wanted something that would record and should be ready immediately. This camcorder does not disappoint. I got a case as well as an extra battery for this from amazon. I have never run out of battery on trips. I charge the batteries every night on trips and one battery has worked for me for the entire day. I have travelled with the camcorder overseas and within the us and all the videos are stunning. I always buy sony discs from BJ's. There is one disc that has gone corrupt while recording but I did not have much on it. It went bad before any recording was done on it making me feel that the dvd was corrupt to begin with. Its been 5 years now and still use it a lot to video shoot memories around the birth of my kids. Highly recommend this camcorder who do not have time to spend to create a dvd from the conventional camcorders.Sony DCR-DVD301 1MP DVD Handycam Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom
