Digital camera reviews of Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Nice camera but not completely Mac compatible....
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the camera. I've had it almost a year and enjoy the ease of use it provides. However, Sony isn't completely truthful when advertising the camcorder as Mac compatible. The CD is only for Windows--no Mac software is provided. While the enclosed USB cable does work to transfer .jpg files from the memory stick, it does nothing for transferring the movie files.
After almost a year of using a DVD player hooked to my Miglia TV Max+ to feed the video into Quick Time and re-record my movies, I found a program named Handbrake that will export the movies directly from the camcorder to my Mac.
Summary of Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom
Shooting and sharing video is easy with the DCR-DVD610 Handycam(R) camcorder. Compose your shots on the 2.7" widescreen (16:9) touch panel LCD display, then close in on the action using the powerful 40x optical/2000x digital zoom. Gain even more control over your images with Super Steady Shot image stabilization, as well as Super NightShot(R) Plus technology for excellent quality in low light. With Hybrid recording technology, you can capture it all directly to a DVD or removable Memory Stick(R) Duo or Memory Stick(R) PRO Duo media. 1/8" Advanced HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K effective pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video, up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution and still image performance. The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zoom. Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lenses are designed specifically for compact camcorders, and utilize precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness and contrast found with larger lenses. With the Quick On feature, the touch of a single button places that camcorder in and out of Sleep mode.
