Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon DC310 DVD Camcorder with 37x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Good buy
Summary: 3 Stars
Item arrived in time. Bought it for my brother. Tested it and works well. What I like about it is the zoom (41x). My only concern is one has to slide the lens cover manually. I was used to DC40 which is more automatic. Overall good buy.Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this for an uncle and it works pretty good as expected from canon.. but writing to the disc is a painstaking work.Customer Review: ok
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, good but pictures ain't great especially at night. My average camera phone does a better job!Customer Review: Problematic for closing discs and some confusing features
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:-
1) Price is cheap for a DVD camcorder
2) Outdoor video quality
3) optical zoom
Cons:-
1) The menu is very confusing.
2) You cannot finalize unless you connect the camera to power adapter. You will not know it unless you read the manual carefully
3) You cannot charge the camera if the power button is turned on. So assume that you are using the camera and it goes off because of no charge. You connect it to the power adapter, it will not charge...it is because the power button is still turned on. I had this issue and had a hard time finding the cause. I even sent my camera to canon repair and it got returned back saying I need to keep the power button off while charging and otherwise it will not charge.
4) Finally, there is a lot of problem with finalizing the disc. The finalize menu item will not show up while in record mode. That is fine. But I recorded my disc in VR mode and now I see Finalize menu item but it is not selectable..not sure why. I am not able to finalize my disc and can't play it in dvd player. When I see the content of the DVD, it has files in VRO format. To convert it to DVD format, I need a software now which will cost me. And that's when I decided to write this review.
