Digital Video Camera & Camcorder Review

DIGA DVD Palmcorder® MultiCam™ Camcorder with 30x Optical Zoom, 1000x Digital Zoom, Built-in LED Light & SD Memory Card Slot.

CamcorderInfo has a review on the Panasonic VDR-D300 and says: “The Panasonic VDR-D300 has made some significant advances in the medium of DVD camcorders. We suspect, this is one of the sharpest pictures you’re going to find on a camcorder in any media. A resolution score of 16.5 speaks for itself. Sure, the colors were a little lackluster, but after the saturation-fest of the DVD403, maybe this is what people are looking for. We tooted our horns all last year about the wonders of Sony’s champion DVD cam, and it’s time that another manufacturer challenged its position. The D300 has done admirably. Of course, the throne can only seat one, and Sony has returned this year with the DVD505, sporting an impressive list of specs. Users interested in manual control are going to go straight for the D300, regardless, because it offers what Sony never has - aperture, shutter speed, gain, and other controls. The DVD field may be widening, but the manufacturers are sticking to their strengths.”

CNET Reviews has a first look video of the Panasonic VDR-D300 Camcorder.

LetsGoDigital has a review on the Panasonic VDR-D300 and writes - “Panasonic VDR D300 camcorder : Panasonic introduces the new Panasonic VDR-D300 DVD camcorder that captures crisp, high-resolution digital video on convenient 8cm DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM discs. “The DVD-RAM format allows non-linear editing right in the camcorder, and gives the greatest flexibility in re-recording,â€Â? explains Rudy Vitti, national marketing manager, Panasonic Optical Group. “And for added compatibility, consumers can also record onto DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, which will play back in most standard DVD players.â€Â? Panasonic’s 2006 line offers the advantages of DVD recording technology starting with a suggested retail price of $999.95, with the DVD camcorder model Panasonic D300.
