As you can expected from Panasonic's 3ccd camcorder the video has a very good color quality (as the 3ccd promised), although the resolution of 320000 pixels is not very high compared to the regular (not 3ccd) 1000$-1800$ digital camcorders the video sharpens is quiet good. To get the best quality Indoor you need strong lights around the objects. The optical picture stabilizer that you can expect from camcorder in this price is missing and instead you get a digital stabilizer that I prefer to don't use. For a long time recording (more than 1 hour) you need more or high capacity batteries or at least use the viewfinder instead of the lcd display. The disappointment is from the stills quality. The pictures are blurred; maybe captures the stiles with a firewire will give a better results. To my opinion if you are looking for a high quality video this is the best you can buy in these price levels. If you want high quality stiles from your camcorder you have to make a compromise, leave this camera and try the other regular (not 3ccd) camcorders, or make a little more effort and buy the Sony trv900

This little cam packs the quality of a lot more expensive cams, but is half the size. Full manual controls let hobbyists and pros alike get the picture they want. If you look around, you can get it for a good price - use the extra bucks for an extra battery or two, you'll want 'em. The only achilles heel is the stabilizer - don't use it. Otherwise, great video and audio!

This camcorder by Panasonic can hold up to 1,000 still images. This is an excellent feature when going on a vacation or need to take multiple photos without the worry of needing more storage capacity. Very nice and compact in size. Recommendation: Buy
