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

I wound up buying the new DCR-IP220 just before leaving for a vacation that included a few days visiting historical sites in the gloomy midwestern U.S. (Missouri and Illinois), and a week on sunny Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.

Overall, I'm pleased with the camcorder, but bear in mind... Read full review »

byjonat06 Aug 29, 2008

1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls

Pros Compact Camcorder, Decent Software Provided, 30GB Hard Drive Large Enough for Me

Cons Supplied Battery has only a 1 hour life at Best, Spare Batteries are Pricey

Recommended it? Yes

I have owned two Hi-8 Digital Sony Camcorders since 1990. They have both performed very well. In recent years, I have been challenged to transfer all of my tapes to DVDs. This was alway a tedious process that involved hours of time and loss of video quality. The Sony DCRSR45 was my ideal compromise... Read full review »
