Panasonic VDR-M53 Review
I'm highly skeptical of the whole recording direct to DVD concept. It's a hassle to extract video from a DVD no matter what the source is. DVSpot concurs, but goes on to point out several attractive features of the Panasonic VDR-M53. I remain skeptical, especially in light of the highly affordable 3CCD camcorders in Panasonics product line.
From the DVSpot review: " The VDR-M53 is Panasonic's low-end DVD camcorder, and it's also the first non-Sony DVD camcorder that we've reviewed. DVD camcorders give you the ability to take your video and put it into your home DVD player without ever touching a PC. It's as point-and-shoot as you get. At the same time, those who like to edit their video will be disappointed with the DVD format -- it's just not designed for that."
