Excellent considering the Price........2007-12-27

I bought this from Amazon over two weeks ago and used it to shoot about 2 hours of video in different places and conditions. I would rate this an excellent camera for the Price. Sure, there is stuff out there but considering the price that this is the cheapest Hi-Def. camera at nearly half the price. 3CCD really make a big difference in dynamic lighting conditions and this camera took on the challenge. Playback on Sony Grand WEGA 50" at 1080i was excellent. Be mindful that Cameras' used in Discovery/National Geographic are in the range of $30k - $45k. The marginal gains are un-economical for my purposes. Again, extremely pleased and would Highly recommend it. Thanks Panasonic. A+.

Best Price/performance.......2007-12-07

I'm very happy with this product. Its a fantastic price/performance deal. I would be great if it came with some software to edit video in my computer.

Very nice feature for your money.......2007-11-09

I bought this camera to compliment my 46 in. Samsung Full HD LCD TV. The picture was very nice although the 30 mins. limitation of the DVD writeable media and the need to finalize the disk was a setback. I donot have the Blue Ray player yet so I connected my LCD TV using DVI to HDMI cable to my HTPC Windows Vista running on Dual core AMD 64 and an HD video card to view the HD picture taken from this camera and I am really pleased.

No support.......2007-10-23

I purchased this camera at the very end of July, and briefly turned it on, but due to moving and wedding preparations, we never had much chance to really try it out.

I tried to turn it back on about a month later, and found that it didn't work. It would start but then immediately shut off.

I contacted Panasonic, and sent it via next day air (The person who helped me initially told me Panasonic would not pay for shipping to the repair center). It was received Spet 7. Today, October 23, I called yet again to find out that the part they're waiting for is STILL on backorder.

My honeymoon has come and gone, without my video camera, and nothing was done to offer either a loaner or replacement, as their policy apparently states that it needs to be repaired before it would be replaced.

Alhough the people in the call center have been very nice on a personal level, Panasonic's overall customer service has been miserable. I have no idea what else this camera does because in three months of owning it, I have yet to have a fully functioning, working camera.

The camera, when working may or may not be good, but this review is to point people to this camera's potential to be a complete lemon, and to let people know to beware of Panasonic's customer service. Unfortunately, it's more of a customer disservice.
