In bright light, color hues were accurate

Hitachi DZMV780A:CNet

The bottom line: The Hitachi DZMV780A is a budget DVD camcorder that visibly compromises on video quality.

The Hitachi DZMV780A's video quality is decent"

In bright light, color hues were accurate"

Autofocus is responsive and quick"
"
The zoom is smooth and easy to control, whether you're zooming in fast or at a leisurely pace."
"
Battery life is so disappointing that you may want to budget for the optional extended battery."
"
lame battery life"
"
We found the Hitachi DZMV780A's menus easy to navigate using the left-mounted directional pad, which doubles as a playback control."
"
Buttons above and behind the LCD screen offer easy access to the most common functions without making you dive into the menus."
"
he 2.5-inch LCD is sharp and viewable under a variety of lighting conditions"
"
excellent contrast"

excellent contrast

Hitachi DZMV780A:PCMAG

The video clips looked very good and clear on our TV monitor (which tends to hide a lot of quality problems), though we did notice some shimmering. Bootup time was acceptable, at 4.1 seconds, and there was hardly any noticeable shutter lag. *

color hues were accurate, though slightly oversaturated at times.

Image stabilization was effective throughout the first 75 percent or so of the zoom range. The Hitachi DZMV780A's video quality is decent but noticeably less sharp than that of the higher-end DZGX20A. The zoom is smooth and easy to control, whether you're zooming in fast or at a leisurely pace. Precise manual focus can be difficult to achieve.

"
wide and telephoto lens adapters"
"
adjust manual focus and exposure controls with touch-sensitive plus (+) and minus (-) buttons, which we find far less convenient than a dial or a ring."
"
Battery life is so disappointing that you may want to budget for the optional extended battery."
"
lame battery life"
"
Buttons above and behind the LCD screen offer easy access to the most common functions"
"
The gimmicky option to turn the LCD screen into a light does little to help here."
"
Though the 2.5-inch LCD is sharp and viewable under a variety of lighting conditions, it's too small for the user to easily discern enough detail for precise manual focusing."
