Great little camera Oct 23, 2009 It is easy to use, takes great film direct to mini dvd and hasen't failed me yet.I would recommend this camera to anyone.
"Movie Recording Disabled" Problem Causes Loss of Video Constantly Jul 29, 2009 After about six months, the Sony DCR-DVD308 would begin to not recognize some brand new discs. Then, on discs it did recognize, it would start to show an error message that says "Movie Recording Disabled" after you've recorded on the disc. Once this happens, you have lost all the recorded video on the disc, and the camera no longer recognizes the disc. This happens now about 75% of the time. Sony would not do anything for me because their warrenty only covers the first three months, which is a joke.

Mac compatible !!????!! Jul 13, 2009 So first of all for all the Mac users out there that haven't purchased a camera yet - beware!!!!
I was really excited when I read the one review that this one is actually Mac compatible and a list on a the apple website confirmed too that this camera is compatible
I managed to get it into iMovie which was nice but once I started editing the footage I noticed that the quality was very bad! I tried all kinds of different modes on the camera but nothing helped
So if you want a nice quality camera for a Mac this isn't the one for you!!!
You might want to check out the featured cameras on the apple site and spend a couple more bucks just to save you some major headaches
So far none of the Sony products worked well for Mac except still cameras!!!!
I hope this is helpful for all the Mac users

Edited video quality questionable Jun 22, 2008 Sony DCR-DVD308 works beautifully and seems well put together. It's light, compact, convenient and generally well designed. Operation is very easy, though it is so light it is very difficult to keep steady on a long zoom, and the zoom is extremely rapid and difficult to make unobtrusive - both probably what you get in this kind of camera. It may be a wonderful camera if you just want to watch what you shot, conveniently immediately, on your living room DVD player. Not so much if you want to edit it for anything other than YouTube. The problem seems to be the specific MPEG-2 compression for mini-dvd storage (which is not limited to Sony). I shot one dvd and then tried to edit it, which was a bit of a nightmare. I did manage to find a converter so I could edit in Adobe Premier Elements but the result was jumpy movement and otherwise pretty inelegant. I had much happier results from my old analog 8mm tape camera and a capture card. I have seen some references to simple editing software supplied, but couldn't find it on either of the cds that came with the camera. Sony's highly rated Vegas suites were not developed by Sony and reviewers say they don't provide any proprietary advantages for editing these miniDVDs. I eventually found an obscure software that will edit in the camera's native format without conversion, and that might work better - for another $100. These are just moving snapshots for me, but if I put a lot of work into editing (and I do want to edit), I want decent results that I won't be embarrassed to share or hate to watch myself. Reviewers (I later read) say the quality of miniDV format is better though tape is less convenient. So I've stepped back a technology, ordered a refurbed Sony DCR-HC62 miniDV, and if it proves better, this one goes on Craig's list.
Very Pleased Jun 17, 2008 Very nice camera/camcorder and the price was an excellent deal. The camera arrived quicker than I had expected. I used it this weekend at my brothers wedding and the video and pictures turned out great.
Thanks so much, I am very pleased!!!!!!!!!!!
