Product Description
The VDR-D50's 42x optical zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge effect on picture quality. That's where Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) comes in, suppressing the effects of hand shake as you shoot. The system uses gyrosensors to detect hand shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate.

What you need to know to use editing software
Soon after I bought this camcorder, I bought a new CPU with Vista 64 bit operating system. When I tried to install the VideoCam Suite software that came with the VDR-D50 a window popped up that warned me the software was not supportive of 64 bit and all I could do at that point was cancell the installation.

Software Problems
I own a VDR M70 and software is no available for the VDR disc drive that will work with Vista. This requires me to have an old computer with
windows XP to use my camera.

Uses SMALL 8cm/3" DVDs type MINUS, not plus
Page 22 of the manual states that this unit uses the small sized discs, size 8cm or 3", NOT the regular sized discs.

Crapped out after six months
The thing died after six months. Stick to Sony, this was garbage. it does not recognize when a disk is in the camera.

Nice little camcorder
I'm not going to get into all the specifics here but I will just say that for the money I paid I am very satisfied with this camcorder.
