I have owned the Hitachi DZ MV350E for about six months and I love it. It is very easy to use, compact, and has a simple menu system so that you can view what you've taken immediately. You can edit the disc on the camera and so save disc space, You can even arrange your clips into playlists for an impressive quickly made movie. If you have a DVD drive on your computer you can put the disc straight into your computer and save your MPEG or JPG files without having to use the USB connection. I would recommend investing in DVD-RAM discs, you can record half an hour's footage per side, they are a bit expensive but you can use them over and over again which saves you money in the long run. You can also save still photos onto the disc or a memory card and picture quality is very good. You can also use an external microphone or the built in stereo mike. Another advantage is that the camera automatically records to free disc space so you never risk accidently erasing your footage. I would also recommend buying a spare battery as battery life only lasts about half to three quarters of an hour. The only down side is that the camera usually takes 10 to 20 seconds of disc access time between shots and this can be frustrating if you want to record spur of the moment events. Personally I can live with this, and the great features of this camera far outweigh the niggles.

Thanks for the advice - why is the battery life always so poor on cameras nowadays!
