 camcorder April 21, 2008
This is a wonderful product. It is very easy to use and takes wonderful video.
Panasonic VDR-D310 April 7, 2008
Received this camcorder very quickly and as advertised. Had a special occasion for which I wanted to use the camcorder and was able to do so without reading any of the instructions including taping and playback - the operation and controls were pretty intuitive. Haven't even played the DVD back yet on a TV but on the camcorder's LCD screen the images looked like they had a lot of contrast which may have been due to the relatively low light. Good sound and easy review of the recorded videos so that I was able to play the movies back to my wife to show her everything she had missed. Looking forward to using it more and exploring the camcorder's capabilities.

I've purchased this camcorder to improve my vedio recording from the miniDV camcorder (Panasonic 3CCD)but unfortunatily I got a very bad pics and vedio.
I strongly recommend the miniDV Panasonic 3ccd and forget the DVD camcorders, the miniDV has a great vedio recording twith amazing colors and clarity. dont swich to DVD camcorders please !
LOUSY CAMCORDER! January 2, 2008

This camera could not have been more disappointing! Although it is easy to use, the quality is dismal. Picture quality, especially of faces, are aweful. Forget getting any footage in low light, everyone looks like ghosts.
Take your money and buy a Sony, you'll be happy you didn't end up with this product!
Enough Horsepower for the casual user December 30, 2007

What I liked:
Using the "Joystick" to access the menus was easy and intuitive.
No noise from the CD mechanism on your finished video.
Plug-in for an external microphone.
Worked well under low light conditions.
Overall easy to use and operate.
DVD format is easy to play on your home entertainment system.
What I didn't like:
You must use the charger/adapter to finalize a disk. The battery pack must be removed to access the camera plug-in for the charger.
The built-in still camera is a joke, my old 2.1 MP camera is much better.
If you intend to use your video for any other purpose, you video files must be converted to another format - this can be difficult and time consuming for the casual user.
Overall impression:
If you just want a solid, easy to use video camcorder, this will fit the bill.
