The Panasonic VDR-D300 DVD Camcorder makes recording and sharing life’s precious moments simple. By recording directly to a blank DVD, you’ll preserve the sharpness and color of the special events in your life, as beautifully as you remember them. The Leica lenses don’t miss a detail and neither will you, with the 10x optical and 700x digital zoom. Preview your footage through the 2.7” LCD screen, then transfer images to a PC or digital camera through a USB port or SD slot. Your new DVDs will work in almost any DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW player, so you can share those great moments as soon as they’re recorded.

PC AdvisorWith the VDR-D300, Panasonic has successfully combined the manual features and image quality of a three-CCD camcorder with the convenience of DVD. You’re paying a slight premium for the recording format, but in return you get the best combination of image quality and manual controls we’ve seen in a DVD camcorder. |

EasyCamcorders.comWe are as surprised as anyone that a DVD camcorder was able to give such an excellent performance. The resolution scores matched that of the best MiniDV camcorders, something that no other DVD camcorder has done. If you are intent on purchasing a DVD camcorder and willing to spend the money, the VDR-D300 cannot be topped. |

CNETRivaling its MiniDV competitors in a variety of shooting conditions, the Panasonic VDR-D300 doesn’t force you to compromise video quality for the convenience of shooting directly on DVD. |

Camcorderinfo.comThe Panasonic VDR-D300 has made some significant advances in the medium of DVD camcorders. We suspect, this is one of the sharpest pictures you’re going to find on a camcorder in any media. |
