This was my first camcorder purchase, and boy am I satisfied with the decision. Love the color accuracy and vividness due to 3CCD technology. Very sharp Leica Dicomar lens.
For low light situation, I just plug in the video lamp on the hotshoe. It's just great.
Love the size too, considering it being a 3CCD camcorder.

Customer Service

Hinge contact to the LCD display broken recently due to wear and tear. Spent 40 dollars for the repairs and Panasonic Service Center. It is good as new.

Excellent color!!! Compact, easy to use, and durable.

Not very good in low light situations.

I bought this camera back in October 2004. It's been great. If you want to see the camera in action, check out my website at www.digitalvideowebshow.com.
