Since its inception, we have qualified the DVD format as one offering ease of use at the expense of image quality. While Sony has made major strides last year and this year in the DVD market, Panasonic has quick to push the boundaries. The Panasonic VDR-D250 and its more advanced sibling, the VDR-D300 (Review, Specs, $534.89), made an entrance at CES as the first 3 CCD DVD camcorders available to the public. Along with the benefits of a 3 CCD imager, you can now use three DVD formats: DVD-RAM, DVD-R, and DVD-RW. All this for $899.
