A Great Price for a 3CCD Camcorder
Pros
Indoor picture, Battery Power, Quality built product
Cons
Zoom: needs wider angle and some may wish more zoom power.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
A good product, only the Canons are as good at this point in time.
We had a baby born in August, and a camcorder seemed like a must have so I began looking into a good quality camcorder which would produce good quality images indoors. I am very happy with the indoor images and find the images very sharp when used outdoors. It takes a few second to start the camera, which can cause frustration if your trying to get a shot. I do editing with Studio 9 and am happy with it, it is very easy to use software.
Pros:
Great picture, digital video is great for editing on a computer, good indoor image for this price of camera, and solid construction from a manufacturer that known camcorders.
The battery life is at about 90 minutes, and the controls are well placed, especially the new joystick. The quality and construction is good - the tape mechanism seems solid if a bit loud.
Cons:
While I am personally happy with the 10x zoom, I know others would look for more zoom power. My "beef" with the lens is that there is no true 16x9 mode, and I prefer the wider angle that is available on some camcorders.
For me, the good picture indoors and the 3ccd imager and a sale at futureshop (in Canada) was reason for our family to choose Panasonic.
