Expert Review

 

All up, the Panasonic VDR-D310 certainly has number of limitations. But, provided you can accept these, its excellent video quality and the convenience of instant DVD burning make it a very notable DVD camcorder.

High colour accuracy for still images, Excellent video quality

Poor battery charging procedure, No headphone jack
