I WILL NOT BUY ANY HITACHI BRAND ANYMORE

I bought Hitachi DZ-MV350A(NTSC). It does show errors a lot for any reason and we couldn't watch on our dvd player after finalized. It wasn't easy to operate and and copy to another dvd-r. I did go crazy to understand how to operate and what to do (even after reading the manual several times)....

An extra digital camera not necessary with this baby

While I admit the processing software was slightly annoying initially, we've been completely satified since installation.Being able to store it all on the computer as a secondary back up to the disks is a relief too as disks are too delicate for my tastes as the only means of holding precious keepsake photos and videos.We've had no software glitches or disk/card initializing problems.I do not understand why so many other reviewers also have a digital camera.With my Hitachi I can, with a flick of...

IT is a Great Camera

I already paid for a sony dvd camera but when I tested it and gave it some beating with the functions,it was so bad.Then the salesman gave me this HITACHI dvd camera.I tried it and tested it.It was awesome and gave it some test too. It was clear and stable.It was worth every penny.Though,some folks still find the brand name Hitachi to be unpopular.If you look at the products of this company it may be considered as high end compared with the more mass or consumer famous brands.I will give this camera...

Don't buy this

I was swayed by the promise of playing a burned DVD right out of camera. and now I wish I had stuck to my old analog Video (Hitachi) which never gave me any trouble.It's the DVDs that are full of errors. I went to Europe with this camera and out of 8 disks , 6 could not be read!! Worst still they can not be played straight on DVD.Do not waste your money on this, instead buy a cheaper miniDV camera....

5* for Camera, 1* for the Software.

I bought the camera in January '05 for a trip abroad.Filmed 5 DVD-RAM disks over the following 3 weeks and absolutely loved the camera.The picture is very good, the sound sensitivity is excellent and the low light capability is fine.Definitely plan to have 2 batteries... this may even not be sufficient for several hours of intensive use.The problems arose when I came home and tried to edit the recordings...I ran into initial issues with the supplied software, so bought DVD editing and recording...
