Amazon.com Product Description
The stylishly small Panasonic VDRM75 marks the next step in DVD video camcorders. Improvements include a quicker startup time of under 10 seconds and elimination of the bulky DVD-RAM cartridge, which made the transition from camcorder to PC tricky and the removal of which now helps slim down the camcorder. The VDRM75 records high-quality digital video and still images onto removable 3-inch (8 centimeter) DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs, allowing for nonlinear editing and editing within the camcorder. The VDR-M70 features a 10x variable speed optical zoom, 240x digital zoom, a 2.5-inch LCD, 1.33-megapixel resolution, and SD memory card compatibility.

The VDRM75 DVD camcorder has a 1/4-inch 1-megapixel CCD, providing sharp and vibrant video. In addition to the 10x optical zoom--which is activated by automatic sensing of the amount of pressure applied to the zoom tab--the 240x digital zoom allows you to capture that perfect moment, no matter how far away you are.

In addition to video, the VDRM75 can capture still images at up to 1,280 x 960 pixel resolution, good enough resolution for 4-by-6-inch prints. A DVD-RAM disc can store JPEG photo data and video together on the same disc. You can save images either to the DVD or to Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. The VDRM75 offers three quality settings (Fine, Normal, and Economy) when saving stills to the memory card, and you have the ability to use manual controls (exposure, focus, and white balance) to get your best shot.

Other features include:

• 2.5-inch LCD and 0.22-inch color viewfinder
• Digital Electronic Image Stabilization helps compensate for unintended hand and/or camcorder movement.
• Thumbnail scenes display lets you select scenes recorded on a disc and arrange them to play back in any order the users want.
• Stereo microphone captures both 12-bit and 16-bit audio.
• Wind Cut feature helps reduce the unwanted noise from the microphone when recording in windy and stormy environments.
• Digitally manipulated 16:9 widescreen functionality
• Analog-to-digital pass-through for converting analog video to DVDs
• Video output: S-Video, AV
• PC connectivity: USB 2.0 (no Firewire)

DVD Format
The VDR-M70 combines all the technological benefits of the rewritable DVD-RAM format with the compatibility of write-once DVD-R media. DVD-RAM offers the highest quality in digital imaging, huge storage capability (capturing up to 120 minutes of digital video and 1,998 still images to DVD media) and rewritability up to 100,000 times, with virtually no degradation of picture quality no matter how many times the disc is played back. The DVD-R format offers the ability to record onto affordable DVD-R discs for sharing with friends and family and archiving memories for everyone to enjoy.

With the DVD-RAM format, you can access recorded scenes quickly and easily. Indexed thumbnails are displayed on the 2.5-inch color LCD. In addition, the camcorder will automatically find blank space on the DVD-RAM disc whenever a recording begins, eliminating the possibility of recording over what you've already shot. Camcorder editing features include delete, rearrange, fade in/out, wipe, divide, and splice.

Recorded video and still images captured by the VDR-M70 can be played back on DVD-RAM and the majority of DVD-R compatible MPEG2-conforming devices. Just slide the disc out of the new disc cartridge and place it into the DVD recorder or player or into a PC or laptop computer equipped with DVD playback.
