DCR-IP220 - Good ergonomics, but unproven tape format

bydougb59 Nov 17, 2002
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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.

Great videos, Easy to use, Unreliable power

byBrian.D Jul 4, 2010
Helpful? 1 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lightweight, Compact, Easy to Use
Cons Bad in Low Light
Recommended it? Yes

I got this on clearance at Meijer because my power supply is lost for my tape digital video camera. It takes surprisingly clear and colorful full screen videos played on my PC wide screen monitor. The zoom is hardly worth using as the picture becomes grainy with barely any zoom , which makes sense... Read full review »
