Review Summary

Reader Score: 7.00 (out of 10)

Review: "The Panasonic VDR-D300 was one of the most anticipated camcorders of 2006. It's the first DVD camcorder to use three CCDs for recording video instead of a single imaging device. Panasonic has made a name for itself by incorporating three CCDs into MiniDV models for years such as the legendary PV-GS400. And now they've brought the technology to DVD camcorders. As digitaltrends.com readers know, I have issues with DVD camcorder quality but their convenience is undeniable. I love finalizing a disc, popping it into a DVD player and then watching videos.

This is the best DVD camcorder I have tested to date. I'll try to get my hands on a Sony DCR-DVD405 or ?DVD505 to give a true comparison of other high-end 2006 models. That said this one is a winner and should be high on the list of anyone who wants the convenience of DVD and three-CCD quality."
