The good: Very good video quality; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround-sound recording; responsive; convenient storage media; decent stills.
The bad: Slightly soft video; DVD format isn't as well supported as MiniDV for editing; no video light; won't work with the Macintosh; can't autodetect aspect ratio during playback.
The bottom line: The DCR-DVD803 is the first DVD camcorder we've seen that doesn't force you to compromise on features or quality--much.
