Short Review:
The Panasonic VDR-D300 DVD Palmcorder Camcorder with 3CCD Camera System and Optical Image Stabilizer is compatible with either DVD-RAM or DVD-R, giving you multiple recording and playback options.
DVD-R discs are tough and versatile, and can be played back on most home DVD players. However, DVD-RAM discs allow you to record and erase, just like videotapes. DVD-RAM discs can be played back in compatible devices, like DVD players and computers. Since DVD Camcorders use a “non-contact” method to record and play, repeated playback doesn’t affect the image quality like it can with videotape. Your favorite videos and images can be kept for years without any loss of quality. Plus, DVD-RAM discs can be rewritten approximately 100,000 times, making them an economical and ideal choice for repeated recording.
Most professional broadcasting cameras use the 3CCD system. In a 1CCD system, all of the incoming light information is processed by the same CCD. The more advanced 3CCD system uses three distinct CCDs for processing, so there is absolutely no light loss. You can see the results in beautifully rendered images with vivid color, fine detail, and rich gradation.
