As with any new medium, the dvd-cam format takes time to learn about and understand. The recorded picture quality while maybe not brodcast quality was crisp and undistorted. from Digitaltrends.com "The DZGX20A records directly to mini DVDs, but there are compromises." from Mensjournal.com "Overall, the DZ-GX20A is rather button-free and is not intimidating.." from Digitaltrends.com The software shipped with this camcorder is poor to the point of being unusable and the camcorder does not really support the disc formats mentioned. I was so frustrated I went online to find confirmation of this and I did find other reviewers that confirmed it. from Amazon.com I researched all the available DVD Camcorders before deciding on this one. At the time, it was on sale for $599, and decided it was the best for the money. from Amazon.com I'd originally gotten a Sony DV Camcorder but found that it had to have ONLY Sony parts such as batteries, tapes and other accessories at a high price and would not connect directly to my computer. Examined all the other camcorders and settled on this Hitachi. from Amazon.com I purchased this camcorder to replace an old Sony. After 1 DVD-R recording, I have decided to return it. from Amazon.com I received this camcorder about two weeks ago and am amazed by it. You pop a mini-dvd in and record, finalize and can then view on DVD players, edit on computer to put on full size DVD, etc. from Amazon.com I purchased this camcorder to replace an old Sony.
