Panasonic’s VDR-M53 is the company’s most stripped-down DVD camcorder to date, and as such ties Sony’s DCR-DVD92 for this year’s cheapest, most affordable DVD camcorder. It can be had for around five hundred bones, though it lacks some key features. It seems that to get DVD camcorders down in price, the USB port, widescreen mode, and hot accessory shoe must be eliminated. That said, this camcorder still might have some options that would sway you from choosing the comparably-priced DCR-DVD92.
