this panasonic sdr-s26 camcorder is by far the best you can buy for the price, and is rated best camcorder of 2009 ces!
i simply transfer the videos where i want them via the usb interface, and watch them using windows media player.
you won't find high optical zoom, hd video, and low price.
for every day i can't find a better value - love this camera and sellers excellent service - highly recomend to friends - relatives - heck everyone!
extra batteries are cheap, so get a couple.
we got acceptable quality when we filmed outdoors in full sunlight.
i use windows xp service pack 3 and it only works with vista or service pack 2.
i'll start by saying what everyone else is saying, for the price, this camera is a gem.
excellent camcorder for the price, got it few days from 6th ave.
but overall, a+, especially given the price i bought this at (around $300 on amazon).
i find it very odd that a great number of these cameras are being sold by numerous retailers in brooklyn who go by names like express, photosweep, camera city....seems like one dealer is using
btw, i know hd is the new wave of the future & the ultimate way we will eventually switch over to, but not until the prices come waaaayyy down!
but for the price you pay.
i use a fairly inexpensive azden mic and the improvement in sound quality is tremendous.
the dvx 100b is cheaper than the xl2 but you get more features.
with its ag-hvx200, panasonic raises the bar again, bringing us professional hd versatility and quality at a lower price than ever.

it takes about 15 minutes to load one full card's media onto a hard drive.) at $1500 apiece just for the p2 cards, setting up one of these cameras is expensive.
man it delivers the goods for a very reasonable price.
but you'd better have your software and hardware in order before you plunk down $6,000 retail,, just for the camera (and no mounted boom microphone - sold as an acc).
"i really like the size,ease of use,image stabilization,& the price of this camcorder.
i found it very easy to use and the film quality was terrific.i was pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive, compace unit
what's great about it:?great video quality/durable machine/optical video stabilization what's not so great:?no usb pc streaming feature/poor audio "great camera for the price!
i looked at a few others that were more expensive and this one is just as great.
i recommend it to anyone who wants a relatively inexpensive camcorder without sacrificing much.
the only way i could copy files over to my pc was by using windows and dragging the files from the camcorder hard drive to a folder.
i would reommend this product for the quality and low price
prosexcellant camera for the price.
"the price of this camera sold me.
what's great about it:?value/ zoom/ battery life/ lcd screen/ image stabilizer
have not used it yet outdoors in daylight.
i have recorded outside in the day and it looks great.
great camera......great price.......easy to use.........my kids can even use it............definitely recommended!!
the sound quality is adequate, but if you are recording when it is windy, you will pick up a lot of the wind sounds unless you block the microphone with your hand.
overall, this camcorder is a great value (you can't beat the price for this dvd technology), average to good quality picture and functions, is excellent for the ease and convenience of dvd playback
It is fairly rugged and I like the water repelling features.
since i move from dv,to dvd,and now to flash memory,this videocamera has the most practical and ease of use,and the quality of the image is good too,but the most important its that you can carry
I found this equipment to be a great value for the price and simple to use straight out of the box.
Focusing is okay in outdoors, but slow indoors.
"water resistant" I have yet to try, but they claim it works ;)
pros: compact, small, light, waterproof, low price
knowing that it is waterproof and shockproof means i worry less about dropping it or getting it dirty.
considering it's small size and reasonable price the video footage isn't bad at all.
its far superior then the flip video device but far less then some of the more expensive ones.
for the money i think it's a great bargain.
