Great little camcorder

I've owned my 810 for a little over 2 years and i use it quite frequently. it has never let me down, especially since i have a back up battery. the only flaws I've encountered were the nonexistence of a night light and a standard mic input. which means you have to buy the specific light and mic.

Its very good only in Day light

This Cam can be used with lots of ease. But only problem is at night we cant take any pictures or video as this doesn't have any flash light or night mode. This is a major set back.

outstanding camera

This is an absoultely perfect all around video recorder and still picture instrument. I actually purchased it for the filming ability, but have discovered that it takes fantastic still photographs. This is the best camcorder/camera I have ever owned and would highly recommend it to everyone.

I love my Handycam® Camcorder

The best gift I have gotten in years. I will use my camcorder all year long. It was easy to use right out the box I used it Christmas day and created a dvd for freinds and family. I can't say it enough how much I love it love it. Any one looking to get a camcorder look at Sony.

Very nice product

I really like this camera and its easy to operate. The recording format is too short only 30 min. I have an underwater housing for the camera also and cannot wait to get it into the water. Recorded Christmas with it and a Hi-8 Sony camera along with my Sony DSC-F828. Going to see if I can format all of them into one Movie... Thanks Sony!!!!!!

Good Price. Recommended Product among any other of the same line. Seems to be better than DVD610, DVD710, DVD910 due to the memory capability/options. Night Shooting is good as well. It's like an HD Camcorder but less than half the price.

I purchased this for my daughters 14th birthday and she was able to get the hang of the features very quickly. She loves it!

The DCR-DVD810 merges powerful features with the convenience of Hybrid Plus recording technology - easily record to DVD, internal 8GB flash memory drive, or removable Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media formats.

A professional quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens captures sharp video, while the built-in zoom microphone with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording lets you replay memories the way you experienced them.

Sony DCR-DVD810 DVD Handycam Camcorder - SKU#1902770 Features

  • 1/6" Advanced HAD CCD Imager, 680K Pixels (Gross): 1/6" Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 680K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance
  • 25X Optical / 2000X Digital Zoom: 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
  • Professional Quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens: 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
  • DVD Format Video Recording: The DVD recording format in MPEG2 (SD) delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV, but on DVD. Playback of these DVDs couldn't be simpler (depending upon the playback device used)
  • DVD-R/-RW/+RW and +R DL (Dual Layer) Compatible: Compatibility with a variety of DVD formats allows the ease-of-use and simplicity found in DVD media. With DVD+RW media there is no need to finalize the disc (minimum recording required)
  • Hybrid Recording to DVD or Memory Stick Media: Hybrid recording technology delivers a new level of flexibility for transferring your video footage and digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing devices
  • Quick On-2: Missing an important scene can be frustrating, especially if the reason is because your camcorder is turned off. With the Quick On feature, the touch of a single button places that camcorder in Sleep mode
  • Built-in zoom microphone with 5.1 ch recording: Featuring Dolby Ditigal 5.1 Creator, the built-in zoom microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects in sync with the camera's zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds
  • 2.7" Wide (16:9) Hybrid Touch Panel Clear Photo LCD Plus Display (211K Pixels): The 2.7" Wide (16:9) LCD screen provides exceptional viewing clarity with improved resolution (211K pixels). The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles
  • Memory Stick PRO Duo Media Slot: Capture still images directly onto Memory Stick PRO Duo media (sold separately) for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing, or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick devices (sold separately)
  • Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization System: An advanced version of Sony's SteadyShot Image Stabilization system that controls an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies, to achieve an even higher level of smoothness without degradation of video
  • InfoLITHIUM Battery with AccuPower Meter System: Unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "Memory Effect," so you're free to charge the battery at any time
  • Manual Focus: Manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder's auto focus to perform optimally
  • Super NightShot Plus Infrared System: The Super NightShot Plus Infrared System uses a slow shutter mode to let you shoot video with improved color and contrast, even in total darkness (0 lux)
  • Stamina Battery Power Management System: When using the Sony InfoLITHIUM Battery, the Stamina Battery Power Management System helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long continuous recording times from a single charge
  • Scene Selection Modes: Scene Selection modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from Auto, Twilight, Candle (move only), Sunrise & Sunset, Fireworks (move only), Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Sports (movie only), Beach, Snow
  • Picture Effects: Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Sony's Picture Effect Modes. Effects available in Monotone, Sepia and Pastel
  • Fader Effects-2: Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects. Choose from Black and White
  • Visual Index Screen: Shows thumbnail images of video clips and still images when playing back on your camcorder or DVD player, making your selection easier
  • Battery Information: At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. When using the LCD screen or viewfinder, the display will show how much the battery is charged - in 10% increments - and the recordable time left
  • Easy Handycam Button: Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people. With a press of the Easy Handycam Button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked out," letting you focus only the buttons essential for recording
  • Multi-Language Menu: Change the menu display from English to English (Simplified), Canadian French, Latin American Spanish, or Brazilian Portuguese
