Sony DCR-IP220

Pros: Video quality, multitasking, many features, high cool factor, good battery life, touch screen controls

Cons: Ergonomics, microphone placement

The Bottom Line: Buy this vid-cam! It can make you look like a pro.

Review: As a professed Sony Gadget Geek, I jumped all over this camera and pre purchased it before it was even available. I love this camera. I can take it on a trip and have 2MP digital video (60 min per tape) and 2MP digital pictures (saved to Sony's propriet ...

Pros: Small, light, 2 mega still images, view finder

Cons: cost, wish the lens was wider

Cons: relatively expensive paid £1200

Review: 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...

Pros: Camera is easy to use, small, nice lens

Cons: Who cares how good the camera is-you can't download video and work with it.

Review: I am extremely disappointed with the software bundled with the Micro MV camcorder. Pixela Image Mixer and Movie Shaker for Sony are so problematic, I have yet to successfully import a full-length video with it. After a few minutes, the recording stops, ...
