CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Digital Camcorders. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of digital camcorder.

Disc formats

Mini-DVD camcorders record high-quality MPEG-2 footage directly to a mini DVD-R or DVD-RAM and can deliver more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution, depending on camcorder quality. Recording directly to disc makes it convenient for playing directly in set-top players and for storage.

Best for: Trendsetter; home and vacation moviemaker; business videographer.

ADVANTAGES

DVD-Rs can be played in home DVD players

Easy searching and random access to video segments

Convenient and stable format for archiving

Selectable image-quality levels, including high-quality variable-bit-rate recording

Both video and still images are recorded on disc (instead of on a cassette and a memory card)

DISADVANTAGES

Video recorded on DVD-R cannot be edited on a computer

Video on DVD-RAMs can be accessed only via a DVD-RAM drive

Relatively short recording times at highest-quality modes and unpredictable recording times with variable bit rate

Relatively expensive discs

Less reliable for live recording; a single bad bit can render an entire disc of video unrecognizable

Supporting manufacturers:Canon; Hitachi; Panasonic; Samsung; Sony.
