    July 13, 2006

    The Good: Decent low-light video quality; solid battery life; in-camera editing.

    The Bad: Hidden touch-sensitive controls; poor auto white balance for stills.

    The Bottom Line: Hitachi's DZ-GX3200A delivers decent video quality at a relatively inexpensive price for a DVD camcorder.
