Panasonic HX-DC3

 

Panasonic's HX-DC3 provides a decent optical zoom and manual settings for a very keen price.

Decent image quality ; Very good price ; Optical zoom

Limited manual settings ; Mediocre in low light

Digital zooms artificially blow up the image to achieve their effect, so reduce resolution, whereas an optical zoom preserves this. You will be able to zoom into the subject without ugly blockiness appearing.

Panasonic HX-DC3EB-K

 

Very lightweight. Easy to function

Could have come with some sort of strap to steady the camera. No internal memory.

Panasonic HX-DC3EB-K

 

Sound was good

Unfortunately I had to return this product due to really poor image quality. It may have been a faulty video camera as I'd spent time reading the reviews before I bought it, and most reviews are really positive. However, the image quality is on par...
