Good Point-and-Shoot DVD CamcorderStrengths: Quick Start-up, Good picture and sound capturing, Easy to use, Resonable Price Weakness: Don't see any yet It's my first camcorder, and I love it. Before making up my mind on this one, I was struggle to decide whether to get a MiniDV (tape) camcorder or a MiniDVD camcorder. Tape camcorder is bit cheaper, but I am afraid if MiniDV was diminished from the market. I will need to find way to convert those tapes to up-to-date storage format. MiniDVD might face the similar fate in the future, but at least...

Great little camcorderStrengths: Small, easy to use, tons of features and effects, DVD-RAM discs can play without finalizing. Weakness: Short battery time, DVD-RAM discs only work in Hitachi and Panasonic DVD players, poor picture in low light. I searched reviews and stats on all of the current DVD camcorders, and for the money, this is a great pick. I think the Canons are great, just too expensive. This camcorder has tons of built in features, lots of effects. It's light and compact. The picture quality in good light is unbelievable, even on my 57" big screen. In low light, the picture is less than fantastic, but not horrible. The...

not dependableStrengths: easy to use Weakness: not reliable So far I have used this 2x's. The first time my husband had set up the camera to record his proposal to me. We were able to play this back one time then we got an error message stating that the camera can not read disc check dirt /crack. The disc appeared to not have any scratches, or dirt. We were unable to recover the image. 2nd and only other time we had used this for our daughter's first...

Quick Review Camcorder : Hitachi DZ-MV780
The Hitachi DZ-MV780 is the second best DVD camcorder Hitachi is offering this year. Combining performance and affordability, it ranked as one of our favorite DVD cams in 2005. That’s not saying much, as DVD cams typically leave out the manual controls we think every camcorder should have. But DVD lovers will want to check the DZ-MV780 out. Top

Hitachi DZ-MV780 Camcorder Review
The DZ-MV780, Hitachi’s second best DVD camcorder this year (and personally highly anticipated), features some improvements to last year’s DZ-MV580 including a new design and a widescreen mode. But even with an increase in CCD pixel count, the camcorder performs slightly worse in low light than last year’s model. The good news is that it is very affordable, available for as low as US...

Very Good DVD Recorder
Strengths: Light weight, DVD sets fast, much better then the Hitachi 730a entry model, automatically jumps to next recording preventing over writes, records 16:9 or 4:3, wireless remote,records DVD-R
Weakness: Picture slightly grainy in low light, uses Ram disc's for erasable recordings, these work great but only found on Panasonic, Hitachi and certain DVD machines
I totally agree with bcariveau's review. My story is, I purchased the Hitachi 730A and was very disappointed. (Poor picture quality) I was able to return it to the store and upgrade to this model (MV780A) WOW, what a difference! The picture quality of this camera is greatly improved over the 730A (double the pixels) Outdoor lighting the picture is fantastic. Looks better on TV than in real life....
