OK, I just got this today. Opened it up, charged it. What no memory card in the box!!! Ok, no problem I have a surplus of them. Ok lets see here, I have 4, 8 and 16 gig SD cards from 5 different manufacturers. After 10 minutes of this camera beeping at me and flashing ‘Check Card’, NONE of the cards will work with the camera. At least the jokingly small sized 8mb cards you get with Canon and Sony cameras let you try it out. This is a piece of junk, and they think Im going to spend 80+ dollars on a Panasonic SD memory card? Thats why their cameras are cheap, so you buy their memory cards. Stay away and buy a real camera.

Camera is nice and small but needs care if use in the hot summer. I thought the camera was damaged because it wouldn’t shut off without removing the battery, also experience zoom function not working, no picture,shaky focus movements would sometime focus in and out throughout the zoom, once the camera was allowed to cool down all function came back, but still experience focus problems intermittantly, hopefully everything is OK. This camera is good for cool weather, once temps increases becomes unstable.

I just don’t know why big name brand companies nowaday are making big buck garbages to sale to the consumers. I was excited with the zoom that this camcorder offers and kind of ignored some of the reviewers’ complains about the video quality. I thought to myself, it’s in digital format, my digital cameras produce pretty decent video, so how bad can a digital camcorder be? I was wrong, the video quality is worser than the first generation camera phone!!!! On a gloomy day light, the video was worst than the VHS camcorder, under the indoor light, the video was barely watchable. It looked ok when you view it on the camcorder itself, but when you exported it to the computer, you will realize it is a piece of junk! The camcorder itself is so light, it feels like the low quality $[...] world camcorder. I would pay $[...] for this camcorder just for the zoom function. This camcorder was not meant for recording video.

NOT BAD FOR THE MONEY, RESOLUTION TOO LOW. SEEMS TO USE PANASONIC SD CARDS ONLY, BOUGHT A GENERIC HIGH SPEED ON ON EBAY AND DOES NOT WORK IN THE CAMCORDER BUT WORKS FINE IN MY DIGITAL CAMERA, GOOD STARTER CAMCORDER

I bought this camcorder one month ago, and I think that is a good product according to his price, I have used it in outdoor and indoor, in both cases was working well, only in places with poor light the video reflect it and no there way to correct it, because the cam doesn’t have night view option.
When I passed my videos to PC, I had troubles with this… in the software installation the program ask a country TV system, yeah that’s rare no? I select..Mexico.. and the cam didn’t works. I tried to uninstall the software but it doesn’t has option to do this. I have to install the software in another PC selecting this time U.S. and this time it works well. The PC are WinXp both.
Be careful and patient with the software…
