The Panasonic DVD Palmcorder Camcorder VDR-M53 is a 3" DVD-RAM and 3" DVD-R-based, ultra-compact camcorder.
If you're a beginner like me, at least for a DVD Camcorders -- then this is a good one for you. This was a definite improvement from my old Sony Hi-8 Camcorder... So light weight, compact and good quality. Of course like any other new technologies, you need to read instructions, fiddle with it and keep using it until you are comfortable. I guarantee that you can master recording videos in no time at all!
Price? It's a little expensive, maybe around $500-$600 (when it first came out, I paid $545) but you can find good deals anywhere today (especially on eBay Auctions), it's just a matter of looking around. Sometimes Circuit City or bestbuy have good deals too.
Quality? Pretty good. Good button display, easy to navigate, do very well in filming dark places. For Stills, not really that great but it's a-ok. It's easy to handle, and what I love most is the zoom. It can go way far and still have great images.
Recommended Accessories:
SD Memory Card at least 125 MB thru 512MB (for stills)
Camcorder Case for extra protection
3" DVD-R, or 3"DVD-RAM - Use the 30 mins.I use Sony DVD-R cause it's good quality and great price.
Extra Rechargeable batteries

Lower resolution that even the cheapest Mini-DV, and nearly impossible to edit properly since scenes are stored on DVD. DVD is NOT recommended if you want to do any editing of any kind. See ANY Mini-DV instead.

We were going to purchase a hand held video camera because we are going on a cruise next May, so we did some looking and pricing in town and the ones we saw were pretty expensive. So I decided to shop on E-Bay to see what I could find. I found this one, a Panasonic, which the name is pretty reputable, so I decided to bid on it. After I got it, it took awhile to find the disc to go in it, but finally found some locally. We ride motorcycles also, so we can use it for just about any event, anywhere at anytime, especially when we go on a mission ride with the Patriot Guard. (IF you don't know what the Patriot Guard is, just look up on the web). It has turned out to be a really good camera for the money that I paid for it and I know that we will use it a lot. I am satisfied with the purchase and the product. Marilyn

Very Handy Camcorder1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Love the size of this camera. It is a little tuff trying to figure out how to use it. DVD-RW will not work in this camera, and the instructions do not state this. The mini DVDs to fit this camera are very hard to find, and buy. The camera can use a memory card (SD, but it will not record movies with the card, only still shots. Other then that the camera works well, and is a joy to own.
