The Good - Decent video quality, widescreen, zoom, sound, battery life, simple touch screen.
The Bad and the Ugly - The photos this thing takes are pathetic! There is no online software support whatsoever, good luck. It takes FOREVER to transfer videos to your computer, like 2 hours for 25 minutes of video.
If your interested in buying this camera, brand new, for $300, message me on YouTube. You can also watch my YouTube video to see the camera and see that it has no scratches or any deformities. It works great, and you will have no problems with it.
PLEASE RESPOND!!!!! how can i recover deleted videos from one of my disks i used on this model. like my videos just dissapeared. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!
I have this cam and i hate it! It eased a couple of my CDS without me even doing anything. It happened when the battery died and after i recharged it wouldn't let me play the video ...It kept asking me to reformat. I lost some presious memories of my kids because of this piece of junk!
Ok, i have a pc. and wheni insert the memory stick it wont let me edit on WMM, and i really need help to figure out what, editing software i need so i can just put the memory stick in and convert it to, that editing software
yes i did!, you have to by a "sony" editing program, i suggest, getting the sony vegas 9.0 pro, download trial., and then but if you like it its not to expensive., and its not to hard to edit but type in how to edit on it, on youtube., then type in how to upload in hd., i did that with my one video and it is really good, check it out on my channel, its my "Gammers" video, and btw. im not one of those filmers, who dont know how to hold a camera steady :P
Hey, I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.6 and i cant figure out how to get my videos off of my memory stick onto imovie. Is it compatible? If so let me know!
i have a question: i have the same kind of camera but i really don't know how to delete clips. i can only delete the most recent clip, after that i can't delete anymore. so how do i delete and choose what clip?
Flash card video is terrible, grainy and washed out colors....perfect for filming sin city i guess, there's no lens add on...so no fancy wide angle for this cam as far as I can see, I haven't tried the dvd rw's yet but I don't expect any changes to quality. Overall this is a very poor performing cam that mid to high end filming should not be done on. So as the old saying goes...You get what you pay for.
Well I'm just speaking for myself, but I can't figure out how to get the video onto my computer to start editing it. My brother got it to load onto my computer, but for some reason it won't work for me... Is it possible to use a DVD-RW to record it and then edit or do you have to use the memory stick?
turn the video camera on go into the home menu at the top of the screen and the 4 th icon going to the right touch that then it should come up with a list touch mendia format and select meor stick
ok i need to know something i got the wrong disk i got the panasonic recording disks and it says sony recommended so how can i rewrite the disks to use it again after i've done recorded and finalized? how i dont get it the camera its self records on a full battery about 2 or 3 hours and the disks only like 18 mins so would the right disks work? can someone help me with something

Just wondered if you have a review of the Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam Camcorder, or if you know what comes in the box when you purchase it brand new.
Thanks

deathfuel67 3 years ago
I'm not pretty sure but I think you must to erase the rewritable dvd before using it again. Try using your usual burning software (Nero, Roxio, ...).
fcoarias 3 years ago
You can rewrite the disk formatting it.
If you want t continue recording witout erasing it, you can anulate finalize.
