 Excellent little camera May 27, 2010
Mr Blade (San Jose, CA USA)
This is one of very few 3CCD palm-type camcorders that came out. The videos it takes are on par with my professional canon cameras. It has a menu-driven manual control system that allows you to get even better shots if you know what you're doing. It works better than most cameras in its class under low-lighting conditions and the color separation in good light is stunning, especially compared to 1 CCD camera like most comparably priced camcorders in its class.
I use mine with Final Cut Pro on a Mac and the remote computer control for video capturing works flawlessly.
I ordered a high capacity battery after market and it runs for hours on it. If you want a great camera for a low price, this is the way to go.
The stills aren't so great, but this is a video camera, not a still camera.
Pros: 3CCD, intuitive menu-driven controls, high resolution on miniDV, works seamlessly with computer control through firewire connection.
Cons: still pictures not so great.
 THE SELLER DOESNT WANT THE PRODUCT March 20, 2009

 Great while it worked September 16, 2008
KK (Houston, TX USA)
This was a great camera while it worked. One day the power didn't come on despite a full battery. There is no way to eject the tape with the power off. It costs almost as much to repair it as to buy a new one - but in order to get your tape out ( assuming you were taping something important - like in my case a graduation) you have to send it in for repair and hope they return it.
This is a very poor design. When I researched the web for a way to take the tape out, it appears that this is a fairly common problem. The camera worked for around 18 months.

I have used this on interviews for my class projects, carried it around and took video of birds at a wildlife refuge and this camera has really performed.
The microphone picks up sounds really well. On interviews I didn't need an external mic, though there is a plug in for one. I even used it to record a particular bird at dawn one morning. The sound came through very well.
I like the fact I can record in wide screen or regular. The battery lasts for several hours of recording and recharges quickly.
The picture quality is excellent with the 3 chips. I'm not used to using a screen for photography of any kind, and with this one I can use the view finder. It's very light and easily carried on the strap around your neck.
Great camera, great price.
Works great for me... March 28, 2007

The main reasons I bought this (now discontinued) model are: it has 3 ccd chips (great for color and detail, especially outdoors), it's size and feel, and the fact that it has an accessory shoe and mic input.
I use it for family videos, and for short videos for our church's youth group. The clarity is great, and the sound is good for such a small camcorder. The backlight compensation feature works great! Battery life is about average for the industry, I recommend buying a bigger Energizer brand battery.
The only gripes I have are: it doesn't have a true night-vision like Sony's Handycam, and you can't shoot in true widescreen (though there is a "widescreen mode", but it loses resolution.
Bottom line: the best features for the lowest price I could find on the market. Too bad Panasonic has discontinued this model, and replaced it with a 1 ccd model without a mic input!
