Reviews of the Panasonic VDR-D210
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Panasonic VDR-D210 camcorder has a 32x optical zoom lens and optical image stabilization.
The Bad: This DVD camcorder has no JPEG still-image capture; so-so image quality, especially in low light.
The Bottom Line: As a relatively inexpensive DVD camcorder with solid, though not remarkable, performance, the Panasonic VDR-D210 is a decent choice for video snapshooters.
