We have had our camcorder for two weeks now and are amazed at how easy it is to use and the quality of the pictures. We record alot of sporting events and the LCD screen is great--you can watch the game instead of the old styles where you have to look through the view finder. Our son likes to analyze his hitting and throwing after the game by watching on the LCD scree.

Great camera for a first time buyer. It comes with a simple to understand manuel. All the features of the more expensive models at an attractive price. Great value.

Very good camcorder for those looking for less buttons, easy to use and great results. The LCD screen is great for recording yourself and with others, knowing you got the shot you wanted and those tri-pod shots to difficult looking through a view finder. A movement activation option for those who what to see what goes on while their away is rather cool. It works so well in low level light, we haven't used the built-in light source yet. A camcorder you don't have to carry a manual around and with the quality of those you do.

I researched camcorders for 4 weeks straight before deciding upon this Panasonic. It has all the features (LCD screen, built in light, best optical zoom-focus available 26x, 150x digital zoom, remote, digital fades, titling, image stabalization...the list goes on! ) of other quality camcorders, only at half the cost! We absolutely LOVE this camera! My only concern was that is was VHS-C, as opposed to 8mm...BUT that is definately not a concern anymore. The picture quality of this Panasonic VHS-C is outstanding, and has great sound too! Another awesome feature is you don't have to hook up your camera to your tv or vcr everytime you want to watch what you taped (like the 8mm camcorders...ugh!)....this Panasonic comes with the VHS-C adapter tape cartridge the you just insert into your VCR like a regular VHS tape. All you do is push PLAY! If you've been looking for a quality camera but don't want to fork over tons of money....this is definatlely your BEST bet!

My dad owned a video camera kind of like this but the thing that you put your eye to wasn't circular. But everything else was cool. Anyways, my dad gave me the video camera because it was about 13 years old and he had bought a new VHS-C video camera. He used to have a video camera that you watch the videos on DVD but then got the other one I was mentioning because one time when we were in Hawaii eating at a restaurant, we got ripped off by some guys but we didn't know. When we went back in the car so we can drive to our destination, we first didn't know that we were missing anything until we got to our destination. My dad was the one who found out we got ripped off from gangsta boys. We didn't do anything but just let it go. I am going back to talking about the video camera my dad gave me. One thing I like about this video camera is that when your done and finished with the whole tape, you don't have to finalize it like you have to do for the video camera that you watch your videos on DVD. That is one thing my dad hated about the DVD video camera. The only thing he liked about it was that it was so clear on the screen. Anyways, when it was summer 2006 after school ended, I took this video camera with me to take to my granparent's house to video tape myself playing baseball. I used a pro training stick which was the bat and batted plastic balls. I caught myself on video lots of times hitting home runs. Pretty good playa boy. How the way i'll catch myself on video hitting home runs is that i'll put this video camera on something outside like the bench or something else. For pitching, I'll put the video camera on our slide at our grandparent's house to tape my grandfather and I. I caught myself throwing lots of fast strikes. Thanks Panasonic and dad!
