what consumer reviews & ratings say

  • "I have owned this video camera for a little while now, and the image quality is crystal clear and bright. Originally we owned the Sony DCR-DVD200 on backorder since Christmas time, and recently found out that it was discontinued by Sony (as well as the DVD100 & 300), making way for the new Sony DVD101 & 201. Glad I waited, because these new DV models are at least 25% smaller, with even better features."

You can find the dcr-dvd 201 digital camcorder for as low as $540.00 through online retailers.
