Very Happy with the Sony DVD92

bybaramo Jul 11, 2005
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good in low light compact easy to use love the format
Cons Battery life w/ stock battery. 30 minute recording time (not an issue for me).
Recommended it? Yes

I own (have owned), a Sony Video 8, Samsung Mini-DV, and now the Sony DVD92, and I have to say I'm extremely pleased with the mini disc format.

I'm not sure what other people use their home vides for, but the 30 minute time doesn't really bother me. I'm not going to make my relatives sit... Read full review »

Decent DVD Camcorder

byazpwrshopper May 30, 2005
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Convenient LCD Touchscreen. Easy to use. Record straight to DVD/view in minutes!
Cons Short battery life, DVD holds 30 min., No USB/firewire, wind noise.
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first camcorder ever. We purchased it on 5/29/05 at Circuit City for $569 plus tax(before $25 Sony Mail-in rebate). I hadn't done any research on this camera because I went to the store with the intentions of purchasing Sony's DCR-DVD403. That was on sale for $899.

Amazing quality at a low price!

Pros Only entry level DVD camcorder that records on DVDRW+/-
Cons None, as long as you don't need a USB connection.
Recommended it? Yes

There is really only one reason not to buy this camera; it doesn't have a USB connection. However, it's the only cheap DVD camera that can record on erasable DVDs. I record everything onto one DVDRW, rip it to my hard drive, and then erase the DVD. That means I only had to buy one DVD to do all the... Read full review »

DCR-DVD92 DVD Camcorder

byemdooey Jun 2, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, makes good quality videos
Cons Only 30 mins recording time at a time, no playback feature
Recommended it? Yes

We've had our little camcorder for I think nearly 2 years now. We chose this one because I like the name brand and it had a rebate. We had upgraded from a VHS-C so there were quite a few things I had to get used to. I'm pretty simple so the "easy" button for recording is what I do most of the time... Read full review »

Not for everyone

bymd02 Sep 16, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice looking, easy to operate
Cons No digital outputs, short recording time with DVD
Recommended it? No

If you plan to edit movies on your home computer, don't buy this camcorder. There is no way to get any digital video out, only analog. Very surprising for something this expensive. Many models costing half as much are capable of transferring digital video. I took the Sony back two days later and... Read full review »

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD92 Camcorder is a Great Deal If You Shop Around.

byski1462 Feb 1, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use. Great picture (with a steady hand.) Easy to use LCD touchscreen.
Cons I didn't like that the charging cord has to be plugged into the camera.
Recommended it? Yes

I didn't have any problems taking this camcorder out of the box and using it with minimum use of the ENTIRE owner's manual. The camera's manual focus is a bit on the fast side but with a little bit of practice it's easy to overcome. The complaint that I read about the camera being "shakey" is... Read full review »

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros compact and light. very easy to use. impressive results in low light. nice zoom.
Cons short battery life, short recording time, usb port...but no drivers
Recommended it? Yes

This was a walk-in on the spot buy, I had not researched this product before purchasing. My heart sank somewhat after I got home and read various opinions on it. However - after using it in both daylight and low light even no light conditions and then tinkering with the colour settings a bit, I can... Read full review »

Pros None
Cons Poor Video Quality, Poor Low Light Recording, Poor Still quality, Shaky picture
Recommended it? No

Poor recording quality, shaky picture if you move the camera while recording, cannot EDIT the video, poor still quality..the list goes on. I bought this camera because I was told that it had a USB port by the sales person . It does not. I had to pay $85 restocking fee for returning the camera. Well... Read full review »

Pros Great quality video, easy to use
Cons no hook for computer.
Recommended it? Yes

Love it,baught and loved it has great qualities. But no hook up for computer which is a draw back. Called Sony didn't get any answers they told me to call Hewlett Packard. Did that they wanted $59.99 to tell me what software to get to edit the VOB file format. So went online and did so research and... Read full review »

A great little camcorder!

byjulin11 Dec 14, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Compact, durable, easy to use and great quality video.
Cons Hard to understand some of the special features.
Recommended it? Yes

This Camcorder was kind of complicated for me to learn how to use at first. After a year, I still cannot figure out some of the features--but that's just me, I guess.
The quality of the video is great, however, and very clear and beautiful. I like the zoom speed and accuracy, too.
