Strengths: Great in low light, 30X optical zoom, easy to use, and a good size.

HITACHI DVD CAMCORDER 5080A
Strengths: Nice size and like that it takes photos along with recording on dvd - instructions were easy to follow and liked the quick use pamphlet to carry with you for reference on trips
Weakness: couldn
Bought this to take dvds of Disney parades and fireworks on vacations. Like the 30X optical zoom - easy to follow instructions. Have had JVC in the past and a Canon mini-dv and am looking forward to just popping the disc into the dvd player. Thought the price was reasonable with all the extras included. Purchased extra battery as backup.
