5.0 out of 5 stars
Very very very good!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony DCR-PC101 Mini DV Camcorder (Electronics)
This is my first digital camcorder and it took me a while to come to my decision. I'm glad I chose this one! It has excellent Sony build quality, and the picture quality is just fantastic.I do agree with the other reviews that you need fairly small hands/fingers, but it's pretty easy to get the hang of. It's worth it being a bit fiddly, just for the portability! It's a very good size. Editing videos on the computer is incredibly simple, too. Simply plug in via Firewire (cable not included), capture the video (fast and easy), edit, and then you can easily send it back to the tape in the camera! Great! The touch screen works very well, but some of the features are a bit hidden away in menus. You probably won't use the special effects much, if you're going to edit on a computer, but they're a nice inclusion, if just to show off to friends! Microphone isn't directional (so it picks up all sound in all directions), which can be a bit of a problem, but this is the same with most camcorders. Just grab yourself an external mic. Very good sound quality! So overall, easy to use, easy to edit, brilliant sound and picture quality. Get one now!

DCR-PC101,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony DCR-PC101 Mini DV Camcorder (Electronics)
I recently brought this camcorder, and have since been amazed by what i am able to achieve.I have had not one problem with this camcorder, and have discovered the amount that i can achieve. Its size was the main selling point to me, i have fairly small hands and i found many of the larger camcorders hard to opperate. This one just fits snuggly in my hands. this is also a drawback to the camera, as many of my friends have larger hands and find the camera too small and fiddley, and had no control when using it. appart from that i can not think of any other bad points to this camcorder. features like the touch screen i have found more fun than anything, and the digital effects really suprised me in the fact that there were alot more than i had expected! Overall i can not praise this digital camcorder enough, and would recomend it to any one (Without giant hands).

That's a camcorder!,
By Jeroen Taalman (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony DCR-PC101 Mini DV Camcorder (Electronics)
Since about 48 hrs I'm the proud and happy owner of the Sony PC101 digicam. This is great! The cam is easy to operate (despite the heavy manual), has all features you'll ever need and weights no more than a glove. The touch screen is intuitive and can easily be handled both during recordings and during editing. I like the option to record photos on the memory stick even we you're in camera mode (as far as I know it was not possible in the earlier models). Photo quality is comparable with my DCS-S70 in the lower pixels resolutions. The standard battery runs more than 100 minutes which is just fine for most applications. One tiny shortcoming is the lack of a iLink/Firewire cable in the package. (I can't wait to connect this amazing device to my new mac to edit the recordings.) By the way, the PC101 is your friend when you want to digitize your analogue videos, because it has a video-in for analogue signals.A guy with a smile on his face.
