 Hybid Camcorder is awesome Apr 29, 2008
For the price and for I am am using it for, this camcorder is great. No DVD's, no tapes, just pick it up and start recording. What else can you ask for. I recommend this camcorder to anyone who is looking.
LOVE IT! Apr 15, 2008
Got this two days before trip to Hawaii. Was simple to get started. Only two things could make it perfect: a light for night recording and still pictures with more pixels. All in all, it was everything I expected it to be. Would recommend it to my friends.

 Horrible camcorder Apr 10, 2008
After reading the reviews on this product, I thought it would be great to have on my trip to Maui. What a disappointment! This camcorder is very hard to use and even harder to play back on anything except on the camcorder. It will not play on my DVD player, nor will it play back on my computer. Instead of .avi movies, it has some sort of weird format and it was a total waste of money. I did take it to Maui and used it twice but lost the ability to view memorable events that I thought would record. I used the mini-disks that came with the product so I know that was not the issue. I do not recommend this item to anyone. The software won't even read the recorded events and if my Canon Powershot S80 didn't have video capabilities, I would not have any videos at all of my trip. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF JUNK and go to Best Buy or another name store to buy your next camcorder where they can help you use it. If I wouldn't have bought it online, I would be returning it immediately. So I am just chalking it up to a total loss and sticking it away where I don't even have to look at it again. Once more, do not buy this piece of junk if you want video memories that you actually can play back. And, yes, I did read the manual.... several times as a matter of fact. That was no help either.

Great Camera for the price Apr 09, 2008
I purchased this to film my godson's wedding and bachelor party and then I'm giving the couple the video and the camera as a wedding present. I've been using it for a month prior to the wedding and find that it suits my needs in just about all respects.
The video quality is what I would expect for a camera in this catagory. Colors are vivid with only a slight pixel edge haze. Low-light images are no worse than any of the other video cameras I've owned. So glad I've abandoned my old tape-based cameras that are awkward to find start-stop points. This camera gives such a nice bonus that you can make a DVD copy to give to friends without ever having to plug into anything. I would prefer a format that can be more easily edited however. The zoom is as strong as I'd ever need and maintains it's focus through the range.
The sound quality is excellent although I wish there was a way to baffle wind noise a bit better, although that is very common with all cameras. Still haven't read thru the entire manual. Fortunately 2/3 of it is in a different language.
I'm quite pleased with this choice I made for the bride and groom.
 Good for those without sophisticated audio needs Mar 29, 2008
The picture quality is good, and the camcorder is easy to use. There are challenges, however, when using a DVD-RW in obtaining synch'ed sound/picture and direct capturing audio with picture to a Mac (PC compatibility seems fine). This model also does NOT have an external microphone jack (there is such a jack on the DZ-HS303A model). The internal mic audio quality is good, but not satisfactory for more sophisticated needs.
