A little disappointed
I really love the Panasonic brand. I swear by my Panasonic point and shoot and have convinced many people to buy the same one that I have. So, when we were shopping for a video camera, I thought I would stick with a brand I know and trust. The price was great, especially with such enormous zoom and memory. We initially bought it for our wedding and honeymoon knowing that we would soon be having kids and want to use it all of the time. It does an OK job, but I was expecting better. The video quality just isn't any better than my point and shoot, so the camcorder feels quite irrelevent. There seems to be no point in carrying an extra camera and giving me something else that I have to remember to download off of. I was expecting the video quality to be more crisp. I don't love the video on my point and shoot either, so I was really disappointed to find that this one isn't any better. Good picture quality is very important to me. This camcorder has left me wishing that I spent more money and maybe went with a different brand. Maybe Panasonic is great with point and shoots, but not so much with video cameras.
