Terrific CamcorderI'd in the first place gotten a Sony DV Camcorder but found that it had to have ONLY Sony parts such as batteries, tapes and other side dishes at a high price and would not connect directly to my computer. Examined all the other camcorders and settled on this Hitachi. It is terrific. It does everything I wanted very indubitably. Using the "low light" setting, I was able to get an excellent video with stable room light and the lit Christmas tree. It is necessary to be careful about the mini DVDs you use, but they are patently found and at a very reasonable price.
I wanted a DVD recorder as I was not happy with the results from my analogue belt camera. This Hitachi more than fills the bill. It is easy to use, has great accessories included in the box, even a first DVD disk. The directions covers everything with easy to understand pictures and text. I'm completely sold on the Hitachi.
Lackluster playing
I purchased this camcorder to put back an old Sony. After 1 DVD-R recording, I have decided to return it. The low-light performance was the daisy. I used it to tape our child's first Christmas in normal, indoor lighting and it is very mysterious, almost unwatchable. The set-up was quite easy, but what good is easy set up if it takes substandard videos? I am opting for the Sony 403 model.
