Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-DVD405 3MP DVD Handycam Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

Digital camera Review: Good deal!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is our first camcorder. We bought this for our twins who were born recentely. The long story short, this is a good deal. I spent about a week researching and decided to buy this for its user friendliness, DVD, price and qulaty. I made a good choice. HOWEVER, if you don't like the touch screen, which I like, do not buy this.
