Panasonic VDR-D210 Review

by John Poultney

- Notable for its low cost, the Panasonic VDR-D210 ($380 as of April 24, 2007) is an easy-to-operate DVD camcorder that doesn't have a huge number of features. The VDR-D210 (like the $380 Canon DC210) lacks a USB jack, so you can't connect to a PC to make a copy of the DVD in the camcorder (instead, you'll have to insert the disc in your PC's DVD drive). The VDR-D210 has a composite-out port for connecting to a TV or other device; but before you can move files onto your PC, you'll have to finalize the disc and then retrieve the files via your computer's DVD drive. The VDR-D210 lacks a headphone jack, too, which makes reviewing your audio difficult when you're in a noisy area.

User Reviews for Panasonic VDR-D210 Dvd-ram Camcorder

Reviewed by: The Shoopster

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Small Compact Size

Weaknesses: The fact that to use this camcorder, you are forced to purchase the outrageously overpriced 3.5" DVDs.

Overall Evaluation: Panasonic continues to produce top notch electronics and have proven that fact yet again. For the price, the little camcorder certainly delivers. WIth it's optical stabilizer and it's 32X zoom capability, you can't beat what this camera will do for the price. It also comes with a full 1 Year Warranty on both parts and labor!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: burn Mini-DVD directly

Weaknesses: Only support brand-named mini-DVD-R, not support DVD-R

Overall Evaluation: It is great for those old people or some people who do not know how/want to burn DVD after recording on DV-tapes. The mini-DVD will be finalized automatically. It is picky and not burn the cheap mini-DVD-R and, of course, not burn DVD-R that is really cheap now. If you want to pay triple price per disc and 1/3 capacity of DVD-R, this one has good quality of video recording. Paid 200 USD, so there is no big complain.

Top 10 DVD and HDD Camcorders Though they record in the same file format, the optical disk-based models we tested delivered better video quality for the price than competing hard-disk drive models.
