The Hitachi DVD camcorder is small, quck, and very easy to use. You can save any picture to a SD card from any frame, you will not need a seperate camera at all. You will be pleased with this camcorder because there is virtually no learning process and it is very user friendly. Downsides: the original battery lasts around 40 minutes, so invest in an extra long life battery, other than that Hitachi gets an A for intuitive controls and no manual reading required!
