Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650
$300.00
Released February, 2009
The Pros:Also allows you to record to Sony Memory Stick flash-based storage cards. Affordable price. 2.7-inch touchscreen display.
The Cons:Recording to DVD doesn't make sense when flash and hard disk based storage is so capacious and affordable in comparison. Sony Memory Stick cards are more expensive, less capacious and more difficult to find compared to more common formats such as SDHC. Can only take small 640 x 480px still shots due to its smaller 1/8" non-HD 640K sensor.
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650 is a standard definition DVD camcorder from Sony's 2009 lineup and is a step up from the DCR-DVD610. The camcorder features hybrid movie recording directly to DVD or Memory Stick Duo media for increased flexibility and is compatible with a variety of DVD formats including DVD+RW.

The DCR-DVD650 is designed with a 2.7" touch LCD screen that rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles. It includes a 1/8" advanced HAD CCD imager for crisp video and still images and has a built-in zoom microphone to add realistic sound to the footage. The DCR-DVD650 differs from it's predecessor, the DCR-DVD610, since it has a more powerful zoom lens and has wider compatibility with more DVD formats.
