Query: Not very good

I got this DVD camera last week as a gift. I tried it for one week and I returned it. There are several reasons:1) The specs might sound good on paper, but not a reality.Picture quality is horrible, both indoors and outdoors. Myhouse is sunny and bright indoors. I took video of my children during the day and it was grainy. I tried it outdoors and it wasn't a sharp picture at all.2) The DVD-RW discs in general loose their quality overtime, and infact may become completly unreadable after 2 years! So, if your planning on saving your children's childhood memories don't buy DVD, use miniDV instead. Just do a search on the computer and you'll find this to be true.3) The hitachi's batteries last about 30 - 45 min! That's it! The video is also 30 min only!4) This particular hitachi does not have the capability of hooking up to your computer.
