When it comes to shooting videos, simpler is better. Panasonic DVD camcorders make it exceptionally easy to capture your precious memories directly onto several DVD formats (DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R/DL) and SD Cards. When you finish shooting, just take the Disc out of the camcorder and slip it right into your DVD player or Recorder for immediate playback - there's no need to connect any cables. Imagine taking video shots on a moving boat and then viewing them on a large-screen TV. They're likely to appear blurry from the boat's movement and from your unsteady hands. Panasonic solves this problem with O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which minimizes handshake in situations where it is most often a problem, such as with Zoom shots - or on a moving boat. The system is optical, so there is no quality loss, and images look clear and beautiful on a big-screen TV.

Pretty simple

"This is a bare bones camcorder, it has what you need and not much more, but it does the job. We purchased it in order to capture the special moments in our kids lives and I would say it does a good job of it. The DVD feature is also very nice in that you can watch these special moments on your DVD player or computer and it makes sharing easy too. We just burn a copy of the film onto another DVD and send them ..." Read Full Review »

Okay, but could be better

It has an impressive number of features (powerful zoom, image stabilization, still photo capture, wide screen viewing/recording) compared to other cameras in the price range. I have had positive experiences with Panasonic products in the past, so I enthusiastically purchased ..." Read Full Review »

"The 42X zoom is awesome. I can bring things in almost as good as my binoculars. Great for outdoors. Night feature is not the best feature though. Camera and subjects need to be too still.
