The PV-GS300.
If you look around the threads here, you will find no (OK, very few) recomendations for any DVD-based camcorders. They have an ease of use factor, but image quality is an issue because of the way the video files get stored on the DVD in the camera.
I cannot find any information on the "CANON DC?S?O" to investigate for comparison.
But before you make a final decision, what will you use the camera for? What sort of video do you expect to capture? What kind of computer will you be using for editing? Have you also budgeted for a tripod and at least 1 extra rechargeable hi-capacity battery?
I have 3 camcorders in my shopping list. Which one should I pick?
1,Panasonic Camcorder (PV-GS300) 3ccd
2, Panasonic Camcorder (VDR-D300), kind of heavy,3ccd
3,CANON DC?S?O. Can its image quality beat the Panasonic ones?
