The good: Mini DVDs offer convenient playback; good night-shooting quality; relatively compact.
The bad: Poor video quality; media expensive compared to MiniDV tapes; very basic feature set.
The bottom line: Unless you're so wedded to the Sony brand and the idea of DVD recording that
you're willing to pay a premium--but not enough to jump to the DVD201--avoid this model.
Review: The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD101 is more compact and offers better low-light focusing
than its predecessor, but this model remains an underfeatured underachiever for a camcorder in its
price range. The biggest problem: relatively poor video quality due to the low-resolution 340,000-pixel
CCD the camera uses for recording.With its slick black-and-metallic-blue case, the Sony Handycam
DCR-DVD101 is as likely as the latest iPod to garner admiring looks. This model is about two-thirds
the size of its predecessor, the DVD100, making it no larger than a typical DV camcorder
