DESCRIPTION

One of the more promising recent developments in camcorder design is the built-in editor--a feature that allows you to select, right in the camera, the exact footage you want to copy to your home VCR. With their latest top-of-the-line Hi8 camcorder, the VM-H835LA, Hitachi has taken a step in this direction, offering a simple way (via optional remote control) to copy up to four selected scenes from the camcorder to any home VCR with infrared control. When you combine this feature with a built-in 3-inch LCD monitor and the ability to record high-quality picture and sound, you'll find that the VM-H835LA is a pretty good choice for home videographers who want to shoot good video and perform simple edits on a budget.
