 Setting the Record Straight (no pun intended) November 21, 2006
28 out of 29 found this review helpful
Ignore the September 17 review. It's sad to see individuals, who do not have the patience to study the instructions, offer such inappropriate criticism because of their unwarranted frustration. The key is to READ the manual before using the camcorder. The explanations are in the manual. DVD camcorders are not as simple as the older 8 mm and VHS-C versions. The problem is that inexperienced people will buy this state-of-the-art technology, push a button, and expect miracles.
Once you gain an understanding of this camcorder, it will work as advertised. I've had mine for 2 months now and have had no problems. The picture quality is top notch. It works well in low light, although you should not expect night vision results. Autofocus works fine, just don't pan too fast - and, in fact, if you are experienced at using camcorders you should not pan fast anyway (that's poor technique). Manual focus is there if you need it. And, yes, you must finalize the disc - not a big deal (read the manual). When you see the features this Hitachi 3200 camcorder has, you'll find that it is the best one going for the price - best value. It can accommodate nearly every recording format including DVD-RAM, and also will take 2.1 megapixel photos. Canon, Sony, and Panasonic can't match it on features vs. price. I researched this and this sold me on the Hitachi 3200. I am not disappointed. Hitachi pioneered this technology and it shows.
UPDATE: As of May 13, 2008, my Hitachi camcorder is still going strong - including trips to Antarctica and Armenia (in the Caucasus)!!! No problems. Again, read the manual to appreciate this technology and to use it properly.

 Very Difficult Camera September 17, 2006
5 out of 15 found this review helpful
Very disgusted with this cameara. Hitachi's web site said this camera had a built in flash, the unit does not have one. I got constant disc error when using various diss. They have 4 formats and is it extremely difficult to figure out which one to use and when. Once you start to record on a disc, if you get a disc error the data is lost and the disc is ruined. To get rid of disc error you need to take out disc, you can not finalize to save data because of the error and your precious moments taped are now gone. I returened it and bought a Panasonic Pv-gs300 and had it taping sucessfuly within an hour. Simple to use, great detail in the film
Excellent buy for the money January 6, 2007
I was impressed by the picture quality this camera offers in the DVD class, the best thing I like is video in low light conditions. I would recommend to anyone who wants to buy a DVD camera for family activities
Christmas Fun January 16, 2007
I bought this camcorder for my kids for Christmas, they are having a lot of fun with it. They kept finding new capabilities/functions on it.
