Double the Recording Time and Double the Fun with DVD
Sony is introducing four new DVD camcorders for busy people who can appreciate the advantages of recording directly to disc, easy playback on DVD players, effortless sharing of home movies on a disc, and instant archiving of video footage.
In addition to -R/-RW/+RW disc compatibility, all models are newly-compatible with three-inch, +R dual layer discs. A standard, three-inch DVD with 2.66 GB dual layer capacity can nearly double the camcorders’ recording times. Now users can continuously record close to two hours of DVD footage, depending on the recording mode.

With built-in Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound, all the new DVD camcorders can provide an at-home cinematic experience. These models are compatible with Sony’s ECM-HW1 Bluetooth® wireless microphone, which amplifies the center channel sound in the camcorders’ surround sound system and lets you wirelessly capture audio up to 100 feet away.
The DCR-DVD108 model’s ultra-versatile 40x optical zoom can fill the frame with distant subjects with minimal loss of picture quality. Another benefit of this powerful lens is a wider image [36 mm], which help include everyone in group portraits.
A Memory Stick Duo flash memory card slot has been incorporated into all three DVD models to facilitate easier management of photo and video libraries. And they all feature a USB jack for effortless connection and transfer of video footage to a PC for editing and storing.

Sony DCR-DVD108 Camcorder Reviews
CamcorderInfo has a review of the Sony DCR-DVD108 and writes, “The Sony DCR-DVD108 will satisfy most of the needs of the entry-level user, but only if we make the assumption that that user wants to stay entry-level. … The DVD108 offers decent image quality for its price range, but don’t bother with the 640 x 480 stills. Low light was, yet again, a disppointment. Sony has not been able to shake the problem of blue noise fuzzing up the picture. It has a solid grip, which is good, because the construction quality feels cheap and it will probably not survive a fall. Overall, we think the DCR-DVD108 is a good buy for people who want to point, shoot, and move on. More ambitious users should look towards Canon and Panasonic for their DVD camcorders.” Link.
