Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Sony DCR-PC110 Mini DV camcorder is loaded with more goodies than you can shake a stick at, and comes in a package smaller than a box of Pop-Tarts. It comes with a 166-page owner's manual complete with tiny type, dozens of instructive illustrations and countless circles and arrows. The PC110 itself is covered with buttons, switches and toggles that would intimidate even the most seasoned techno-geek. But this digital camcorder is a lot of fun to use and captures great images thanks to its Carl Zeiss lens. At the very least, this camera will elicit many "oohs" and "aahs" from the envious.
Like most Mini DV models, the PC110 takes still pictures and stores them either on tape or on a flash media card--in this case, Sony's proprietary Memory Stick. Unlike most DV camcorders, the PC110 also can record 15 and 60-second MPEGs, saving you the trouble of having to convert your footage to the e-mail-friendly format. The camcorder comes with a four-megabyte Stick, which holds just six high-resolution stills, though you can purchase additional memory sticks in larger denominations.
The PC110 enables you to spice up your recorded video with an array of picture and digital effects, such as negative, sepia tone or black and white. You also can zoom in during playback of a recorded image. The PC110 also includes in-camera digital-editing compiling capabilities.
The biggest issue with the PC110 is the placement of frequently accessed control buttons and jacks. For instance, the zoom and still-photo shutter release buttons are located at the front of the camcorder, vaguely where your pinky is supposed to be. But the pinky isn't the most dexterous digit, and the hand-strap further limits the little finger's angular movement necessary to manipulate either switch.
The PC110's stocky design also necessitates the scattering of the various inputs and outputs. The microphone, headphone and DC power inputs are located on upper-right side; the i.Link (FireWire), USB and AC power are on the front below the lens; the S-Video output is on the lower-right side under the hand strap; and the analogue A/V minijack is located to the right of the power/standby/record switch.
And being that this is a tiny camcorder, the 2.5-inch LCD viewscreen is less than ideal for crowded frames. The menu does include two sets of LCD brightness controls to ameliorate the lack of LCD area. --Stewart Wolpin

The Business!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony DCR-PC110 DV Camcorder (Electronics)
This camcorder is the business! Take your still pictures (with the excellent built in flash), plug it into a PC running Windows XP using the supplied USB cable, and in a few seconds your pictures are on your PC ready for editing, emailing or printing. Incredible! You don't even need to open the software that comes with the camera!! The DV quality is amazing. Record your movies, hook the camera up using the Firewire port and you're off! Very impressed.

A Great Replacement,
This review is from: Sony DCR-PC110 DV Camcorder (Electronics)
After dealing with the tragedy of having my Sony PC100 camera stolen, the arrival of my PC110 soon bought a smile to my face again..even if it hurt the credit card!I thought the PC100 was good, but this thing rocks! Integrated flash is great, the controls were a shock initially, but soon got used to them. Even works as a webcam through your Firware Card! Just bring on my next trip so I can use it again ;)

Irresistable!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony DCR-PC110 DV Camcorder (Electronics)
From the moment I opened the box, it just took my breath away (thats not a side effect of the price), it was above all my expectations. The only drawback is that you really need a 32Mb or 64Mb memory stick (rather than the inadequate 4Mb) and Sony... why did you not include Progressive Scan! The video footage is excellent and although I am familiar with the results from a 3.34m pixel Sony Digital camera some of the shots from the PC110's 1070k pixels are spectacular. Worth every penny.
