Panasonics VDR-D300 DVD camcorder 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. By recording directly to a blank DVD, you'll preserve the sharpness and color of the special events in your life, as beautifully as you remember them. The Leica lenses don't miss a detail and neither will you, with the 10x optical and 700x digital zoom. Preview your footage through the 2.7" LCD screen, then transfer images to a PC or digital camera through a USB port or SD slot. Your new DVDs will work in almost any DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW player, so you can share those great moments as soon as they're recorded. Less

The HDC-SD5 camcorder employs cutting-edge imaging technology to capture video recordings that are breathtakingly clear and vibrant, especially when viewed on a high-quality, large screen TV. The HDC-SD5 uses the AVCHD format to record full-HD video with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. It employs Panasonic's original 3CCD camera system, a professional broadcast feature, which renders vivid, true-to-life colors, outstanding detail and rich gradation. The SD5 also boasts Panasonic’s new Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), minimizing the effect of hand shake. This technology helps produce crisp, clear images, which is especially important for viewing on large-screen high resolution TVs where image imperfections are easily visible.\n Less

After having a bad experience with a lesser brand of DVD-R camera, I decided to go with a long established brand and ended up purchasing the Panasonic VDR-D300 for our Toastmasters club. We've been very happy with it, but it wasn't exactly cheap ($599 plus tax from Fry's, then $120 for a five year... Read full review »
