Hitachi DZ-HS300A Review at CNET
CNET has a review of the Hitachi DZ-HS300A and writes, “In most other respects, the HS300A is your typical budget camcorder, and that’s bad news for a hard drive/DVD-based model. Its 1/6-inch 680,000-pixel sensor records 340,000-pixel video, which simply isn’t enough for the MPEG-2 compression algorithm to encode without significant degradation. Severe edge crawl and jaggies, fringing, and a variety of false-color artifacts–especially around light sources–render the video close to unusable. Even for YouTube. … On the off chance that you don’t care about the mediocre video, perhaps you’ll find its design problems a bit more off-putting. … It’s too bad about the slippery power switch and poor video quality, because the idea of the Hitachi DZ-HS300A has great mass appeal.”
