Panasonic VDRM30 DVD Digital Camcorder

I have owned this camera for about 1 year, and it has performed very well and is fully compatible with Windows XP. It produces very good quality and has been completely reliable.





I suggest that you should buy wide-angle and telephoto accessory lenses. These cost me about $100 CAD (they are "no-name", so I can't give you a specific recommendation). These increase its flexibility and improve quality by extending the optical zoom instead of using the digital zoom.





To address some of the issues raised in earlier reviews:


- Most camcorders do not include an accessory light, to reduce the initial purchase cost. There are various aftermarket choices available.


- The DVD is in DVD-RAM format. If your DVD-ROM drive does not support this format, it won't be able to play it. This is hardly Panasonic's fault. Although DVD-RAM is not widely supported, you can find drives that support it.


- The camcorder provides 3 levels of quality. Make sure you choose the Xtra setting; this gives a very good picture.
