Panasonic gives you a choice: the capacity of DVD discs or the convenience of SD/SDHC cards, in its new VDR-D230 digital camcorder. That's not the only choice, go direct to your TV with S-Video or your computer with USB 2.0. The one choice you won't have to make is quality vs. affordability
A 32X optical zoom brings even the most distant action close without any loss of quality. The Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) system steadies your shot whether you’re in a moving car or just holding the camera in your hands. These two features plus the Pure Color Engine which converts the complementary color signal into an RGB signal at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal.
The large, 2.7-inch LCD monitor displays bright, clear images and you can tell exactly how the images will look on a TV screen. The electronic view finder shows you exactly what you'll be recording. Both screens have an instant on feature, flip open the screen or pull viewfinder's hood and they are instantly ready for use. Close them and they instantly shut off, extending your battery life.
