Strengths: Excellent picture quality. Lite easy enough to use 1 handed (even with gloves on)with little to no arm fatigue after recording 1 full disk. Image stabilization is above average.

Weaknesses: No USB or fire wire connections. Need to purchase optional hi-power battery.

Summary: I have used just about every brand of camera on the market. Canon's optics are still the best. Excellent picture quality even when viewed on 42" plasma. Image clarity stabilization are show cased when watching video recorded from a motorcycle even when recorded 1 handed with gloves on (engine road vibration were cancelled) . Have will recommend this camera to anyone that is looking for a full feature, small format, reasonably priced video camera.

Strengths: Solid video qualityx41 optical zoomMemory card slot for picture

Weaknesses: Limited edit options

Summary: Canon DC310 is a great product for the price. It is a solid DVD camcorder for every day use. If you want to make quick videos using a DVD camcorder, you should consider this. It is very easy to record movies using the camcorder and play the videos onto your TV.
