    • Great images but beware
    • This camera, like all of the Sony DVD camcorders, creates great movies. However, a MAJOR limitation is that most commercial DVD authoring programs do not work with the proprietary MPEG-2 codec...

    • The DCR-DVD508 is the high-end unit in Sony's new range of DVD camcorders, replacing last year's DCR-DVD505. Much of what we liked about the DCR-DVD505 remains in the DCR-DVD508, although Sony has...

    • The picture quality is not so great in normal room light. Lot of grey pixels everywhere. We can not expect sunlight inside home. The sensors could have been better.
