Reviews of the Hitachi DZ-BX35A

CNET Review
The Good: Relatively compact, this moderately priced DVD camcorder is easy to use, offers the convenience of burning to mini DVD, and has a strong, 25X optical zoom lens.
The Bad: Writing to disc takes time, the autofocus is sluggish, and the image stabilization does little to compensate for camera shake.
The Bottom Line: For a moderate price, you get the convenience of recording your video directly to DVD media, but the entry-level Hitachi DZ-BX35A offers only basic features and can't deliver the image quality of Hitachi's step-up DVD camcorders.
