Reviews on Hitachi DZHS300A Digital Camcorder - 2.7" LCD - CCD
Hitachi DZ-HS300A
THE GOOD: One-touch dubbing from hard drive to DVD; supports a wide variety of DVD formats. THE BAD: Poor video and photo quality; easy to accidentally turn power off and switch modes. THE BOTTOM LINE: Hitachi had a good idea--put both a hard disk drive and a DVD in a camcorder--but implements it poorly in the DZ-HS300A.

TopDVD Camcorder Review: Hitachi DZHS300A Hybrid HDD/DVD
Listening in on the on-board microphone, we noticed rich, full sound, but the mic tends to pick up sound omni-directionally. Its range is also limited beyond 25 feet, and without a mic input or headphone jack, you won't be able to make the most of any sound recordings. Overall, the mic sounds good but is limited. The good news is that this feature is just about the only limiting quality of this...

Decent camera for a point and shoot user
Strengths: Simple access to basic functions, hybrid DVD/HD feature, good optical zoom.
Weakness: Poor image quality in dark environment and in still mode. No way to copy raw movie file to your PC directly.
Camera was easy to use right out-of-the-box. Basic operations do not require opening the manual. Some advanced feature are buried deep in the menu and could be pain to access at recording time. Ability to record on hard drive (HD) and burn on a mini DVD "in the field" is handy, but cannot be accomplished on battery power. Thus "in the field" is not working unless you are at least closew to the...
