Reviews of Camcorders

Title: DZ-MV780E - Gadget Guy Australia
Pros: Widescreen video capture, Dolby Digital stereo audio.
Cons: Slow start-up, proprietary software, hard-to-find media format.
Verdict: I do have three grievances with the camera. Firstly, the battery charger doubles as the transformer for the A/C input into the camera, but only provides either/or functionality. It is not possible to simultaneously charge the battery and use A/C power to
Summary: The Hitachi is a tiny ? but solidly built ? 8 cm DVD-RAM/DVD-R digital video camera. Aesthetically, it is very stylish and its extreme lightweight is far, far removed from its VHS ancestors. At such a compact size, it is effortless to carry around and hav

Title: Hitachi DZ-GX3100A
Pros: Decent low-light video quality; impressive battery life; in-camera editing.
Cons: Hidden touch-sensitive controls; low-res stills.
Verdict: If you're looking for an inexpensive DVD camcorder and you don't care about stills, Hitachi's DZ-GX3100A is worth a look.
Summary: As the little sibling of Hitachi's DZ-GX3300A and DZ-GX3200A, the DZ-GX3100A serves up an almost identical feature set, as well as pleasing performance and better than average image quality when shooting in low light. The main difference between the three

Title: Hitachi DZ-HS300E
Pros: One-touch dubbing from hard drive to DVD; supports a wide variety of DVD formats
Cons: Poor video and photo quality; easy to accidentally turn power off and switch modes
Verdict: Hitachi had a good idea -- put both a hard disk drive and a DVD in a camcorder -- but implements it poorly in the DZ-HS300E
Summary: Hitachi's DZ-HS300E is a budget hybrid HDD/DVD-based camcorder, ideal if you want the stability of hard drive recording with the easy playback and distribution of a DVD. It's not a bad performer, but the image quality is far from perfect

Title: Hitachi DZ-HS500
Pros: 30GB hard disk; one-touch video transfer to DVD
Cons: Long start-up and mode switching times; soft video quality
Verdict: The Hitachi DZ-HS500's performance is uninspired, but the hybrid storage function that allows you to edit footage on the 30GB hard and share it on 8cm DVDs is still impressive -- especially at this price.
Summary: The Hitachi DZ-HS500 combines two different formats in one with hybrid technology. With DVD and hard drive choices, it sidesteps the problems of picking one storage method, making the camera more user-friendly. With plenty of space for top quality video,

Title: Hitachi DZ-BD70E
Pros: Records to Blu-ray discs; viewfinder and accessory shoe
Cons: Chunky frame; slow to process footage
Verdict: If Blu-ray is the future of disc-based media, the Hitachi range of Blu-ray camcorders score cool points with anyone looking for the ease of disc-recording with the image quality of high definition. The DZ-BD70E has some image quality issues, but is stylis
Summary: The format war is over and with Blu-ray victorious, the Hitachi DZ-BD70E attempts to claim the spoils as the first Blu-ray camcorder on the market. Recording 'Full HD' footage on to Blu-ray discs, this shooter also provides plenty of features, plus an int

Title: Canon HG10
Pros: Records to 30GB hard drive, removable Blu-ray disc, DVD or SD card; both high- and standard-definition capture
Cons: Bulkier than hard drive or SD-only devices, discs easily corrupted, operation overcomplicated and fiddly, sluggish to focus and noisy in low light
Verdict: Unfortunately, the Hitachi also delivers one of the noisiest low light performances here, and its lens provides a narrower field of view than the others. While colour is vivid, it's too warm to match reality, and the audio is a little hollow sounding.
Summary: Now that HD DVD has drawn its last gasp and the format war is over, Hitachi must be breathing a sigh of relief, having just introduced a pair of Blu-ray supporting HD camcorders, of which the 5.3mp CMOS sensor DZ-BD7HE is one. Due to the fact that it writ
