I had to buy this to replace mine while trying to download old home movies onto my computer. The batteries do not stay charged long but this camera is old so it makes sense. It works great and I could definitely film with it, if I chose to.

Dead battery and the included charger does not even go to this camera. Came with empty tape case, wtf?

I bought this palmcorder few weeks back. It is much better than its predecessor models. It has a one touch navigational button especially for play, rewind mode, forward mode and stop. The battery is very much available and not as expensive, last longer and smaller size. It is very god that there is a slot for SD card where I can take some still photos if I want to. The onlything kind of missing is a built in LED lights and shud have also a built in lens cap or cover. Its a good bargain and especially that it works good.It is a friendly user multi palmcorder.
I bought this palmcorder ´cause I needed and exact second one for my 3D experiments, and so far it´s proved to be a very good camera, and I love the fact that it has a 24x optical zoom range which is a very big plus.The camera-recorder still let´s you take some average quality footage if you are not that serious about quality and being in mini DV format, you can easily transfer the video to a PC for further post production. I love shooting video as a hobby, so my needs are not demanding. On the cons side, being a fairly inexpensive camera, it lacks a microphone input jack and no external light source or good sensitivity to low light conditions, so don´t expect good quality video or performance in low-light situations.
This camera is good only for people who will shot in DAYLIGHT or in very bright indoor environnement. I had a Canon ZR70 that I had to replace because it died! And I find the ergonomics of this Panasonic not very good. And "night" mode is not very good, like 2 frame/sec. which gives only a very blurry video not quite usable. For the rest, this camcorder works! I would not buy that camera knowing is limitations.
I bought three other cameras besides the one listed here. After getting the manuals off line and working with them for hours I found that none worked. Usually the seller's story was something like this: This camera belonged to my friend's dead husband or wife. Or this camcorder worked perfectly when I used it years ago. In other words, it does not work!- I always gave positive feedback. My advice is not to give positive feedback until you have tested the camera. Better yet, assume it doesn't work, until you tested it even if seller says it does. On Ebay, although there are some great buys, what you see is what you get.
Its small, easy to use, and quality of video is awesome for the price. Still shots are alright, and good be better, but I didn't buy it for that reason. I would recommend this camera for a good quality inexpensive alternative to other cameras. 24x zoom is awesome!
This camera is extremely user friendly. I borrowed this same camera from my friend and after using it, I had to have one! I love it and will definately buy Panasonic again. My only dislike is that if you use the view finder it sucks up battery juice faster. But it is my experience that they all do this!
The product was in mint condition. I didn't expect such a perfect product. It is in excellent working condition. What a great product!! Thank You!!!
