the only reason i'm writing this review is to vent frustration. what a throwback! my old 8 mm camcorder i bought in 1999 was not working so i bought this and what a throwback it is! i am not exaggerating when i say this WILL NOT FILM ANYTHING AT NIGHT even with bright moonlight and street lights. from Amazon.com This camcorder must be different than all of the other reviews I have read. It is the shakiest camera I have ever used, the sound is poor and the still pictures are extremely grainy and blurry. While the optical zoom is average in quality, it is above average in the fact that there aren't many 70X zoom camcorders in this price range. from Amazon.com I shopped around before I decided on this camera. This is the only camera that you can find in this price range that has x70 optical zoom and O. from Amazon.com Let's start off with the good. This camera has a fantastic zoom capability, thanks especially to OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). from Amazon.com I unfortunately couldn't test the recording at the store but was sold by the zoom. from Amazon.com This camera does a good job of being a camcorder. I like the SD because I don't want the data that comes with HD. The SD cards are pretty cheap too. from Amazon.com For the past 20 years I've been an avid Panasonic customer. But this one product was a big disappointment... from Amazon.com I really can't believe that Panasonic, with their name and reputation, would make this thing available. I bought it trying to spend little on a decent camcorder while waiting for Hi-def camcorders to catch up with my 64-bit computer. from Amazon.com This small SD camcorder really performs well in most any situation. High zoom, low light (but you have to set the mode), good record times if you have a 16GB or larger card. from Amazon.com Pros: Very compact and light, 70x zoom, fast auto-focus. Easy to use. Cons: I read many positive reviews about this camcorder at a popular website known for selling books, and I'm still scratching my head about the comments referring to the clear and sharp video quality it has - NOT! I took videos in broad daylight at the XP (best recording mode) and the playback was horribly blurry and awful low resolution quality. from Newegg.com
