Sony updates their consumer DVD camcorder line with minor upgrades across the board, from the low-end DCR-DVD108 (pictured, right) to the high-end DVD508, which updates the DVD505. Nothing you'll need to write home about, here -- some upgraded lenses in the DVD108 and DVD308 and a Dual Record feature for the DVD408 and DVD508, allowing users to simultaneously shoot stills and record video -- but all the new cams do add a handy dual-layer feature, allowing you to double your recording time by writing to both dual-layer DVD+-R/RW. The DCR-DVD108 and DVD308 will ship in February of ought seven at $450 and $550, respectively, while you can expect the two higher-end models in March for $700 for the DVD408 and $900 for the DVD508.
Hello. I am Nasibeh Molahasani.
I have a sony handycam camera in DCR-DVD708E model. I don't know that how to play my movies in computer. My computer doesn't play my movies. When I copy them in computer I have many problems. Sometimes I don't have sounds with some software example Nero show time,… and sometimes I don't have picture. I installed direct x 9.0c in my computer but I think it isn't adapted with my windows. I change my windows to XP 2003, 2005, 2007 and directx 9.0 c some kinds of direct x software's versions but I don't success. Please help me.
1-How do I play my recorded movies in computer?
2-how do I convert them to CD without decreasing in their quality? (When I use converter soft wares to convert DVD to CD the movies quality decrease strongly)
Sincerely yours.
What happened to the 205? there will be no 208?
What is the difference between the DCRDVD105 and the DCRDVD108
I just bought the 108 because Best Buy was out of 105's but got it $50 cheaper, it has 40x Optical compared to 20x Optical zoom, and 2000x Digital Zoom compared to 800x Digitial Zoom. It also has a slot for a Memory Stick (I bought the 2Gb) for taking still shots and it has an AWSOME NightShot feature.
