Product Description
The DC310 digital camcorder lets you record directly to DVDs, and lets you shoot and share video through a variety of options. Only 3" (8cm) in diameter, the DC310's DVD-R/-RW discs are compatible with most DVD players and can store up to 30 minutes of video in standard mode and 60 minutes of video in long play mode. They also record to DVD-R DL (dual layer) discs that can store up to 108 minutes of video. The Canon DC310 DVD Camcorder also offers exclusive Canon 41x Advanced Zoom, a feature only possible with industry-leading optical technology. Advanced Zoom extends the power of your zoom and is the longest zoom Canon has ever offered. The DC310 offers you more flexibility to get just the shot you need by giving you the choice of selecting a 37x Optical Zoom or a 2000x Digital Zoom as well. In both wide angle and telephoto positions, there is virtually no loss in image quality throughout the range. It also boasts a powerful 680k CCD, SD card image storage capability, Quick Start and Joystick Control. The DC310 makes it simpler than ever to capture and share all the unforgettable moments of your life. With unique super spectra coating, which reduces flare and ghosting, the image you capture will be cleaner than ever. The DC310's image stabilization system corrects camcorder shake instantly. The built-in, high-quality image stabilizer allows you to shoot professional-looking, rock-steady video, whether you're recording sporting events, your child's birthday party, or a long focal length shot without a tripod.

3 out of 5 stars Good buy   November 23, 2008

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.

I purchased this camcorder to video tape ballroom dance practice in my house. It has worked great for this purpose! I set it up in the corner, turn on the video, we dance and then we hook the camera to the TV to watch and review our dancing. I haven't had any trouble, and it only took me about an hour to figure out how to use it. It is the first time I have operated a video camera.


5 out of 5 stars Great DVD Camcorder Love it!!   October 6, 2008
Cheryl Christianson (Shamong NJ)
I bought this camera in August 2008. I was tired of my old one. It's really easy to operate. I love it because its very light weight and it can fit right into your bag but I would suggest a camera bag for it. I haven't taken pictures with it yet. It has a great zoom lens on it. It doesn't shake. If you love filming like I do you will love this camera. I would suggest it to anyone. It's a great price too! I watched the Dvd that I had made on my Dvd player and the videos were very clear. This is a real nice camera. One more thing the battery has a nice long charge to it. I only had to charge it twice since I've had it.

Canon DC310 DVD Camcorder with 41x Optical Zoom
We purchased this camcorder after looking at reviews in various places, in particular, one well known consumer product magazine. Since we wanted something basic, but a camcorder that would give us very good quality images, we counted on the Canon. It is easy to learn to use if you are a novice like we are, and is adequate for home videos. Taking into account the savings extras from Amazon, we purchased it at the lowest price that we researched on the internet, and at local electronics retailers. We highly suggest purchasing an extra battery, and the battery charger (stick with the Canon brand or you can be burned with the cheaper "replacement" claiming to be as good). Amazon shipped it in two days at no extra charge....a "special" at the time. We purchase from Amazon often because of their excellent customer service.

The camera went on a two week cross country vacation the month we bought it. I was able to film from inside caves to a wedding. The only down side was that the low light still photo's were not as clear as the movies.
