I've owned a VDR-m53 for 20 months. I have lost at least 4 event DVDs (birthdays, holiday pageant, vacation) to disk errors even when using the correct media, being incredibly careful with this camera, and following all relevant instructions. According to panasonic my camcorder is in good working condition, and the problems I'm having are due to "bad media". I've purchased the appropriate type of mini-DVDs from various major brands at several chain stores, and I've had these problems (corrupted disks/disk erros/disks in need of repair/camera unable to read portions or all of disks/video freezing) on every major brand, even on brand new disks used the day of purchase.
I'm not a clueless, reckless consumer. I was duped into buying a product that is utterly unreliable. I'm sending it back to Panasonic. Not because I want a new one (or a credit toward a Panasonic product, as they have been horrendously unhelpful with customer service and tech support), but so they understand I'd rather never see this terrible piece of equipment again.
If, in fact, they are correct and my camcorder works fine, then the DVD media is so horribly unreliable that I can assure you I will NOT buy another DVD-recording camera. So much for the convenience of recording right onto a DVD. I'd rather pay a professional to transfer my precious videos, because at least I'd HAVE them. |
