Profound except in low light.I researched all the accessible DVD Camcorders before deciding on this one. At the time, it was on sale for $599, and decided it was the beat for the money. I am very happy with my decision. I can't give it 5 stars because it does not perform vast in low lighting. But from what I read, the only DVD camcorder that does is the top of the line Sony, which payout $300 more. If you can get the Hitachi on sale, it is a very good buy.
Terrific Camcorder
I'd from the outset gotten a Sony DV Camcorder but found that it had to have ONLY Sony parts such as batteries, tapes and other garnishes 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 definitely. Using the "low light" setting, I was able to get an excellent video with healthy room light and the lit Christmas tree. It is necessary to be careful about the mini DVDs you use, but they are comfortably found and at a very reasonable price.
I wanted a DVD recorder as I was not happy with the results from my analogue strap 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 instructions covers everything with easy to understand pictures and text. I'm completely sold on the Hitachi.
Lackluster playing
I purchased this camcorder to change an old Sony. After 1 DVD-R recording, I have decided to return it. The low-light performance was the lollapalooza. I used it to tape our child's first Christmas in normal, indoor lighting and it is very profound, almost unwatchable. The set-up was quite easy, but what good is easy set up if it takes scant videos? I am opting for the Sony 403 model.
