Top Panasonic VDR-D100 Camcorder Reviews

SimplyDV.co.uk wrote a review of the Panasonic VDR-D100 and said: "Like its partner, the VDR-D150, this entry-level DVD camcorder pretty well does everything promised of it by Panasonic. It must be remembered that it's an entry-point camcorder which comes with a low price tag and is aimed at the beginner who seeks the convenience of recording direct to DVD rather than to digital tape (such as MiniDV)."

Panasonic VDR-D100 News Release Summary:
New Line Features Multi-Format Compatibility, Powerful 30x Optical Zoom
And Includes Two 3CCD Models

LAS VEGAS, NV (January 4, 2006) ¾ Panasonic introduces a new line of innovative DVD camcorders that capture crisp, high-resolution digital video on convenient 8cm DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM discs.

“The DVD-RAM format allows non-linear editing right in the camcorder, and gives the greatest flexibility in re-recording,” explains Rudy Vitti, national marketing manager, Panasonic Optical Group. “And for added compatibility, consumers can also record onto DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, which will play back in most standard DVD players.”

Panasonic’s 2006 line offers the advantages of DVD recording technology starting with a suggested retail price of $499.95, with model VDR-D100. It features 30x optical zoom, a color viewfinder, 2.5” LCD, joystick control for easy, one-finger navigation, and high-speed USB 2.0 interface.

Model VDR-D200 adds an SD Memory Card slot, a built-in LED color enhancement light and VGA still picture recording.

The new VDR-250 features 3 CCDs, 2.3 mega-pixel still image recording, 10x optical zoom, 2.7” widescreen LCD and 16:9 widescreen format recording.

Finally, the VDR-300 offers 3 CCDs, and adds a Leica lens, Optical Image Stabilization, 3.1 mega-pixel still image recording, and built-in flash.

“This is one of the fastest-growing digital video markets”, said Vitti. “DVD camcorders are a logical choice for consumers who want to capture and preserve their personal memories with the high image quality combined with the convenience of the DVD format.”
