I found my camera abandoned and thanks to your video I was able to start using it and remember good times.

I remember seeing this camcorder in a magazine and I was amazed by it, especially with the DVD recording feature, it was way WAY ahead of its time, when I got my hands on it back in 2013 I got so excited and I was always recording so much videos using the memory stick, but I asked my mom for the small DVD-Rs and she lend me her small stack of it, I was so amazed that I can play this on my old Pioneer DVD player, it got lost during a storm, but amazingly, it still works, but the laser doesn't work anymore sadly, but I had so many memories, all the DVDs survived and just in time to saved it all to my uncle's cloud server before the DVDs couldn't be ready anymore, you made this video really brings back old memories I would love to go through again, but technology moved on and I really have no other choice, but I'm glad it happened so thank you for making this video as a reminder that even old and clunky technology can make so many quality memories👍❤️

Hey this is an awesome camera! A lot of people think I'm an Old school type of kid, but to me this stuff is New school! Thanks for the helpful video!

so much quality in a video. very complete review! u deserve more subs

My parents bought this the year it came out. This camera has given us so many memories, though we stopped using it when iPhone became available but I’m deciding on keeping it traditional with this camera again after many years. I just feel like video footage isn’t that memorable on smartphones.

I'm so glad that you posted this video. I have this exact camera. I bought it back in '08 at Costco. Paid dearly for it back then. However, from moving several times, the camera was somewhat misplaced. I just found it again and after watching this video of yours, I can now get back to using it. I plan on purchasing new batteries for it (one for backup), also purchasing some rewritable dvd's and some memory sticks. Just hope I can find all of that. Nevertheless, thank you for doing this video!

I have the same camera and it's zoom is literally amazing

You most definitely can not forget the reviewer's jacket. Great video

You are so good reviewing that is unbelievable and just for that I have to be one of you subscriber you are very professional and you look for every single and specific parts and explain with detail each part thank you. I have this camera since the day one they come out and I only use it one long long time ago and I was wondered now that I want to become a podcaster if I can use it or if I have to buy me another one but I think that for the moment this camera will do thank you

The 16 year old me would be loving life rn. A friend gave me this camera, been driving a 2003 Navigator, 06’ Macbook 😂😂

Thanks for posting. I just got one of these and wanted to see the quality and specs. Seems like a decent build just a pity about the cut outs you had. It could be the battery connector that has some light corrosion on it and lost contact, as that is a loose-ish part

This is so helpful, mine is a little newer model, but took it out recently to use (stored for 10 years). Battery is still good, only can no longer find the mini discs in local stores. Appreciate the download app info. I'll check that out for sure. Trying to download vids off the RW discs and reuse them. We'll see how that works out. Thanks again for putting this out there. One note: I don't think I "finalized" a lot of my previous recordings, so they are probably lost forever. Going to work on that tonight and see. I didn't realize the connect to the TV was there until this vid. The manual is long gone, much appreciated for your tips.

Thanks for posting about this camcorder. I have one just like it. Bought it back when it was just coming out on the market. Its been stored in my closet for years and I was looking for my camera mount for my tripod and it was attached to the bottom of the DVD-610. Just got it out and put it on charge. Hopefully the battery is still good. If not I'll be getting me a new battery...lol

oh yesss just recently bought one off of ebay and i am so excited to use my new baby 🥰 the only bad side about sony cameras is the memory format because i feel like memory stick pro duos are harder to get 😪

My grandparents had one of theses now it’s mine 💪💪

Hey do you know what type of charger that this uses? I found this old camera and I want to see the memories.

2000x DIGITAL E 60x OPTIC IS GOOD FOR ME. SONY DVD850. TANKS FOR POSTING!!!

That's impressive zoom for an old bit of tech .

Thanks so much this was really helpful!

Someone gave a hate comment on this video and now I am watching a video almost a year old. I need help. But the video is good man!

Very informative video. Thanks man

Wow that camera quality is really taking me Back haha

where can you find fisheye lenses for this model ?

Hi, I charged this camera to capacity but still it doesn’t switch on. Do you know any way to fix this?

Sorry I forgot to mention that's it's asking me to format on a new empty dvd-R, what do I do please?

How do you change it or what do you need

Does Sony handy cam which u have shown in video has a MF (Manual Focus ) Option

nice review, just got that camera

Yeah its a great cam, even I have it! Btw do you know how can I use it for live streaming by attaching it to my PC? If you can help me out then thats really gonna be great! Thanks!

I HAVE A QUESTION! 💜 this might be a long shot seeing you posted this two years ago, but i have this camera, it was my moms back in 09 and i have it turned on now. i have a memory stick and found so many old photos of my mom i’ve never seen before! Anyway! i don’t have any empty discs, i found some on amazon but it’s not 1.4 gb, they’re sony compatible (dvd-r) but they’re 4.7gb. Would those discs still work for this camera? I’ll probably wait to purchase until i know for sure. Thank you

I found this old camera somewhere in my house and I have a question, the only way to have the files in my computer is by taking off the cd and putting in in a cd reader?

Just took it out but can't find the wires to it can you please tell me what wires i need to change it

Can I charge the camera threw the usb

is there a mini dvr usb converter now adays, I just found one of these and I got everything on it working lol

Can someone PLEASE tell me the lens size I’m trying to get a fisheye lense for the camera. I can’t find it online please help.

how do u delete footage from a finalized dvd?

I just found one on ebay 2 batt , all the cords usb and a charger plus a power cord , remote carry case Internal hard drive 7 hour play record time come out in 2006 15 years old are they youtube friendly ?

Thank you for serving in the Navy for us all. When you get a minute, can you answer 2 questions? 13:11 You showed how to RIP, however when I place the DVD-RW into my PC DVD player, it shows the disk empty. Matter of fact, I tried to view it in many of my PC's DVD players. Shows empty. I downloaded Handbrake, however can't use it if disc says it is empty. However I have several videos on disk that I recorded in 2009. The playback works when disc in Sony HandyCam only. Any suggestions? Plus at 11:41 you mentioned, you have to Finalize the DISC. I can not find how to get to that command. I also have Handycam DCR-DVD610 that I bought at SEARS 10/08/2008 for $329.99 b4 tax. Brigitte in Tulsa Oklahoma.

Wait so I have this camera , I have a question I don’t need to use discs if I have a 8gb card in it ?

Thank you!

I have the dcr dvd308 is the memory sticks the same

Hi! I was hoping I could get the link to the charger needed for this camera? I’d love to see old footage I have on here but I lost the charger and I’m a bit confused with which port to use as well. The one on the DVD side or the one next to the battery info button on the other side

If I took a drink every time you said "you do have" or "we do have" I'd be wasted a quarter of the way into this video. lol Nice review though. BTW Nightshot is using the infrared sensor on the front of the camera as a light source (invisible to our eyes). That's why it only works close up (not very powerful) and why it does the weird thing with the eyes.

Is it possible to use this camcorder as webcam? I do know there's no hdmi output or usb function, so I'm thinking using capture card with RCA support I just remembered I have this same exact camera laying somewhere and thinking giving it a second life as webcam

Do you recomend this for a found footage film project?

so i got the videos onto my macbook but it doesn’t save them to a file or anything where i can airdrop the videos to my phone, is there anyway to export the video?

Is it still worth it 2022?

Hey, could you provide a link of where to get a good memory stick that’s compatible with the handycam?

Thank you..👏👏

how do i take out the disk?

i have the 608e and its worked fine for 16 years until 10 minutes ago when the hinge on the screen broke and now it wont close

U bought a handy cam from 10 years ago I hear, Sony focus deluxe 60 x had, no pause off Amazon, it had 2 battery, battery for wall, a lot of plugs, memory stick, tripod, a lot of hand-helds, a lcd lens cleaner, card with adapter, read writer, and I think it's alcohol with a wipe. Wow for about 60 or 80 bucks. I bought in 2020.

It's asking me to format, how do I do that because I can't find the option on any of the menus??

How to record on the memory stick? I have the same camera but model number is DCR-DVD106E, can the memory stick be used to record ? I don’t find any option on the screen to activate memory stick recording.

Please share the link of the battery that you buyed of $9.29 plz plzzzz Thanks a lot for your video

Hey! Thanks for the video dude. I wanted to ask if you can charge the camera with the micro USB near to the screen. I just fouded one of those cameras with my dad's stuff and i wanted to turn it on, but i couldn't find the proprietary charger. Could you check this for me please? It would help a lot :)

So Is there anyway I can charge it? To be able to use it off the power cord?

Tengo la de mi hermana, pero quiero saber como eliminar videos de un dc 😢

I have an important question: if I use this camera without a dvd, will it still record? Like if I only use it with a memory stick? if someone can answer this I would be so grateful bc im about it to buy this exact handycam but I want to make sure that I can use it even if it doesn't have dvds in or not at all
