These 2 Sony dvd camcorders

[CorCentral]

For those of you that cannot reed or speall. My question again.........
Which of these Sony DVD camcorders is the best deal and why, "other than price"??

Prices from local retailers. **Approx.**

Sony DCR-DVD205 (around $500.00)
Sony DCR-DVD305 (around $600.00)

DCR-DVD205 because it's cheaper.

I asked "other than price"/ WHY?

camcorder with harddrive man, recording to dvd is lame as it gets. its like the floppy disc camera of a few years ago. just think about it, 17gb for minidv tape vs 1.4gb minidvd? somethings gotta give

I want to know from personal experience I suppose.

Who does'nt know to type something into Google and get your answer? Searching may be getting more difficult but it's still easy! You should know this by now RossMan.

I have the review sites you listed in favorites among 10 others in this category at least. I want more info! I'm not one to buy a product just because someone points me to a website he or she has within his Favorite Folder **LOL**

Experience and questions are good, right?........... Or have you lost your flame/mentality Ross?

Compared to a similarly spec'd MiniDV camera the quality of MPEG-2 based cameras (like those that record to MiniDVDs and HDDs) is pretty lacking.
