Strengths: Relatively inexpensive, compatibility with media
Weaknesses: Controls little weird
Summary: This is my upgrade form my previous Mini DV camcorder from Panasonic. I bought this at a relatively cheaper price from newly opened electronic store in my area. Versatility of different kinds of media usage including DVD-RAM discs is a plus. The controls could have been better placed for easy operation.

1 Star ReviewI would not recommed this for the average user
Strengths: easy to use
Weaknesses: very difficult for the normal person to convert .vro files on the computer.
Summary: this camera needs special software to convert the panasonic .vro files. most computers do not read this file, and panasonic does not supply you with software to convert these files. if you plan on editing, viewing, sharing or emailing these videos on your computer, i would not recommend this. unless you are some type of computer genius... read the other complaints online about the .vro files. i wouldnt do it :).

the onscreen tv viewing of the recordings are very bad also.

Strengths: burn Mini-DVD directly
Weaknesses: Only support brand-named mini-DVD-R, not support DVD-R
Summary: It is great for those old people or some people who do not know how/want to burn DVD after recording on DV-tapes. The mini-DVD will be finalized automatically. It is picky and not burn the cheap mini-DVD-R and, of course, not burn DVD-R that is really cheap now. If you want to pay triple price per disc and 1/3 capacity of DVD-R, this one has good quality of video recording. Paid 200 USD, so there is no big complain.

Strengths: low price; compact dial control; low-light performance; dvd-ram support
Weaknesses: low-resolution LCD; a little too much white washed; no still picture support
Summary: First, I like its price of 200-400 range. Bought this at black friday for 200 and its performance exceeds its price.

One thing it is different from similar dvd camcorders, it uses a compact dial control for recording and playback. It is very high-tech, looks good, and saves space.

Its video quality is better than average. I have tried similar ones from JVC which sucks esp under low light. This one records good video even in doors.

Yet its LCD only has 130K pixels; its picture color is a little bit white washed; and it has no good still picture support. If you take snapshot, it stores it together with DVD disc because it does not have SD card slot as its sister model D230. It won't be fun to extract a picture from a DVD disc full of video.

But at this price, a DVD camcorder with DVD-RAM support deserves a 5-star.

Strengths: Small Compact Size
Weaknesses: The fact that to use this camcorder, you are forced to purchase the outrageously overpriced 3.5" DVDs.
Summary: Panasonic continues to produce top notch electronics and have proven that fact yet again. For the price, the little camcorder certainly delivers. WIth it's optical stabilizer and it's 32X zoom capability, you can't beat what this camera will do for the price. It also comes with a full 1 Year Warranty on both parts and labor!
