DCR-IP220 - Good ergonomics, but unproven tape format

bydougb59 Nov 17, 2002

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls

Pros Small size. Good ergonomics. Screen on back. Still photos. Compact tapes & batteries.

Cons Expensive. MicroMV format may or may not equal MiniDV. Lens could be more wide-angle.

Recommended it? Yes

My review of this product stems from a parent's point of view and excitement about any piece of electronic equipment that my children can figure out and use safely.

Pros Great size and price, easy to use, moderate quality video for a super-cheap price...

Cons No tapes, DVDs, or cables required; small size; good battery life; adequate video/sound...

Recommended it? Yes

I teach 7th Grade in a Junior High School. And seeing 210 12 and 13 year old kids every day, I get a pretty good feel for what they like, what they don't like, and how they take care of things. So when my principal, who's a bit of a techie herself, brought by a Flip Video Ultra a few weeks back,... Read full review »
