stick with the mini dv, the sdram video is too slow and the HD is limited. had it for a year with no problems. great camcorder for the price. perfect for taking family videos or youtube stuff.
This is true for the 320 and 310 also. One remark: The camera has 37x OPTICAL ZOOM and 48x Advanced Zoom (optical + digital combined), a proprietary technology of Canon.
Other reviews point this out. It doesnt work. I wasn't able to capture the birth of my daughter this past Sunday. Amazon recommends the DVD+RW and I purchased them. Guess what.
Sound quality is very clear. I like recording on DVDs because I need to backup my computer anyway. This camera is light, small, very intuitive and easy to maneuver. I chose the Canon DC330 over the DC310 because this model has the USB connection.
This camcorder requires DVD-R/RW (notice minus sign) and cannot use the DVD+R/RW (notice plus sign). UPDATE: Spoke to Canon and now know the difference is the plus/minus. My two complaints are mini-dvd-rw issue and crappy software for editing.
I ordered them based on amazon's recommendation and they are not compatible. The movie editing software isn't very easy though, but the picture quality is fantastic. I don't know why amazon includes the sony mini-dvds on this page, because they do NOT work with this camera.
Colors are true to life and recording is easy. When purchasing mini dvds make sure to get the minus and then just about any brand should work (verbatim definitely does). I'm having a tough time finding a mini dvd-rw that will work with the camera.
Otherwise, it is ok.
