Best Camcorders

There are so many DVD camcorders on the market right now and many of them are at really high prices. Seriously, you don’t have to spend that much on one, especially when there are cheap ones which do the job just as well!

So I must give a thumbs up to Canon for a providing such a quality product. You can’t get any better when you get the thumbs up from your fellow customers and its a best seller on Amazon too. This really is a true value for your money proposition.

I believe the Canon DC310 DVD Camcorder fits the bill! The product description sure is long and makes it sound like you have a godsend.

Since you obviously can’t trust the manufacturer, that’s where the customer reviews come in, to give you that all important unbiased assessment.

These are some features here:

1. SDHC Memory Card Slot, suitable for SD cards of 2GB capacity and above

2. Built in lens cover, so there isn’t anymore dangling lens cover that gets in your way

3. Genuine Canon Advanced Zoom, their proprietary technology for zooming

4. LCD Video light, for low light conditions, always good

5. Image stabilizer for professional looking, rock steady video, especially important for shooting the highly mobile events like your kid’s birthday party

6. 1 year limited warranty

7. 9 point AiAF - Gives you a lot of flexibility with your shots by bringing your off center subjects into sharp focus.

How about the 20 customer reviews giving it an average of 4/5 stars:

We are very pleased with our new Canon DC310 DVD camcorder. We have been using it for over 2 weeks, we took pictures of our granddaughter’s ballet recital in a dark auditorium and we were 9 rows back and the picture was as bright as day and the sound was very good. We took the camcorder on vacation and took several short moving of family and friends. It has performed great in all types of lighting and circumstances.

I can’t possible be objective if I didn’t include some of the brickbats.

But after spending a good amount of time poring through the customer reviews, the negative comments weren’t that many, and seemed to be griping about the small details. Nevertheless, I’ll just give it a quick run through.

1) USB port - Stated in the overview but seems there isn’t any Confusing menu? That wasn’t elaborated

2) You cannot finalize unless you connect the camera to the video adapter - Seems there is some issue about finalizing the DVD although this comment was the only one

All in all, I still believe it’s a good buy and for the relatively low price, it’s a good steal.
