Manufacturer description
The DZMV580A camcorder represents a revolution to create home movies. Record directly to DVD-R, finalize and remove the disc from the camcorder and play it on any standard DVD player. Record in 16x9 aspect mode on DVD-RAM discs and new Quick Mode menu for easy operation. No need for fast-forwarding and rewinding with direct access to recorded scenes. The high resolution of the MegaPixel CCD chip far exceeds that required for high-quality video, and enables high-resolution still photos. These cameras feature high quality optics with multi-coated lens elements for optimal image contrast and color accuracy.User opinions
