Still Features(5.5)
The main impressive still feature on the VDR-M53 is the sheer number of stills it can capture to a DVD disc, something that all DVD camcorders can boast about. Probably the least advanced still-wise, of all the DVD camcorders, the VDR-M53 captures stills to SD/MM card or DVD-R/RAM disc at a single size of 640 x 480. The still camera mode’s menu system is almost exactly the same as the video camera’s, and offers no choice of quality or any other still options. Focus and exposure controls can be used when recording still images.
