Good buy for amateurs!

This product is easy to use. It is very light so if you're taping for a period of time without a tripod your hand does not get sore. The menu options are self explanatory. Finalizing a disk is easy to do. I am a parent and purchased this to capture my daughter on video for birthday parties, baseball games, concerts at school and playing around at home. It works perfectly for this type of use. I haven't had any trouble with lighting or clarity. I would shop around because the vendor I used sold it with a case, an extra battery and mini dvds as a very affordable package. I figured out how to title my movies and edit them as well. To sum it up, it's small in size, light in weight and very easy to use for beginners.

Cool camera. DVD-Rs work great but I'm having difficulties initializing rewritable. I don't think its the camera but more me figuring it out. Also seems to be picky on what brand the disk is. Bottom line I bought the camera from a store that sold it to me as a display model. 145 bucks I give it to the kids and are making great movies! A good camera but don't expect a lot of bells and whistles.
Not satisfied for the price

I have only had the camera for less than a year and it just stopped working. The pictures were not that good but ok and the video had problems focusing on the subject. Especially for the price.
Not the best for your money

I purchased this camcorder for myself. I was not impressed at all. It was better than having to use a tape camcorder & worry about possible taping over important footage, but the video quality was not impressive at all. For this price, I'd expect more. I returned mine & am currently thinking about a Sony.
Very poor quality in low light
[ Posted: 2007-05-16 ]
this camcorder cannot record in low or artificial light environment; the image is so bad that the faces become unrecognizable. Night shot or any other settings are competely useless. Bottom line: this DC100 is piece of junk
