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.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: easy to use

Weaknesses: very difficult for the normal person to convert .vro files on the computer.

Overall Evaluation: this camera needs special software to convert the panasonic .vro files. most computers do not read this file, and panasonic does not supply you with software to convert these files. if you plan on editing, viewing, sharing or emailing these videos on your computer, i would not recommend this. unless you are some type of computer genius... read the other complaints online about the .vro files. i wouldnt do it :).the onscreen tv viewing of the recordings are very bad also.

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!
