Image quality
Hitachi DZMV780A
Compact; in-camera editing with DVD-RAM; lightweight; relatively inexpensive.
DVD-RAM not supported by most set-top DVD players; touch-sensitive buttons difficult to use; mediocre video and still-photo quality; lame battery life.
The Hitachi DZMV780A is a budget DVD camcorder that visibly compromises on video quality.

Hitachi DZMV780A
This easy-to-use camcorder provides good to very good quality in normal light. Disc-compatibility issues hold it back, though.
Good video quality for a miniDVD camcorder. Saves still images on SD media card. Easy to use.
MiniDVD-RAM format not compatible with all DVD hardware. Color is sometimes oversaturated. Pricey.
