Best Panasonic Camcorders for Price Display , Picture Quality,Zoom

from what i've seen on vimeo and read on forums, other hd cameras in the panasonic line up like the hvx and hpx, offer just about the same image quality but their prices are thousands more and you're

finely tuning focus or creating massive depth of field and soft backgrounds with ease, i think the focus ring is actually better than that of some of the more expensive p2 cameras panasonic offers.

the recording media is very affordable, i bought to 16gb class 6 sdhc cards when i purchased this camera and so far is the easiest format to use especially if you come from a background using dslr's.

to put such tiny sensors in a $3500 is poor, cheap engineering especially when slr have larger sensors, shoot hd and don't cost this much.
