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