Just in time for the 2006 holiday gift buying bonanza, Camcorder Info has posted their review of the Canon DC22. This DVD camcorder is aimed squarely at the consumer but manages to come in fairly cheap. As you would expect, the manual controls are a bit lacking and low light shooting leaves much to be desired. On the plus side, the DC22 has excellent bright light performance and it's small footprint make it ideal for portability.DVD camcorders are a bit of a burden if you want to edit the footage, something I can't stress enough. Also, a single layer can capture a mere 20 minutes and a dual layer discs can record 36 minutes. These still don't compare to the 60 minutes miniDV can capture and not to mention tape-based camcorder go for a lower price. So if point and shooting is your game, the DC22 is worth looking into while everyone else should continue on their merry way.
