Editors' Comments

The new Canon DC420 DVD camcorder allows you to easily capture the extraordinary events on DVD and show it on your home theater. Canon's 48x Advanced Zoom and DIGIC DV II Image Processor lets you get close to the action to capture sharp, crisp shots. Quick Start conserves battery power between shots, while a 2.7-inch widescreen LCD and simple-to-operate controls allow you to easily select different camera modes on the fly. A great camera for a great price.

  • Top DVD Camcorders

    With all the hubbub about new forms of recording media like hard disk drives, flash drives, and memory cards, some consumers might be looking for something simpler and less involved. If all you want is to shoot short home movies, instantly share them, and have a physical, tangible record of your memories, a DVD-based camcorder might be the right pick for you. These three camcorders record between 30 and 120 minutes of standard-definition video to 3-inch "mini" DVDs that can be played back in most common DVD players.
