For a single chip camcorder, weвЂ™re pleased to see such vibrant colors that appear natural in well-lit scenes. In the area of image quality, the standout performance comes from its color reproduction. At this length, youвЂ™ll definitely need to consider a tripod, as the electronic image stabilizer will help smooth out jitter, but it wonвЂ™t eliminate sea-sickening camera movement. This year weвЂ™ve certainly seen longer lens lengths on consumer camcorders, but we think 25x is ample for most shooting situations.

Overall, we were very pleased with its operation, including the manual focus and manual exposure.ДЄlthough the manual controls are somewhat limiting (thereвЂ™s no manual shutter speed), the DZHS300A has a long-reaching 25x optical zoom. In our tests, this worked flawlessly in the HDD mode and nearly flawlessly (it once took a fraction of second longer than 1-second) in DVD mode. This feature improves the recording start time from standby mode. All of HitachiвЂ™s new DVD camcorder models also feature 1-Second Quick Start. That could save you a few precious moments. And even more impressive was the HDD section. The brief time it took the DVD section of the camcorder to start up from the off position was impressive. Choosing your recording medium destination happens with the power switch. We half expected that there might be some exciting challenges one would face with the hybrid, but there really isnвЂ™t. Controlling this camcorder was almost too simple.
