Bought this as our primary video camcorder for our journey around the world. Its held up fine, I'd say the biggest quality lacking is a stabilization feature. It light & compact and gets ok video quality but with a lack of stabilization feature, I'm getting fair video content.

Love this camcorder. Great price , good quality, easy to use and the zoom lens is great. Excellent to use on hikes to catch video of wildlife and maybe a shot of bigfoot.

Well this was an upgrade on previous Panasonic. The difference is staggering !! Important that you download the PDF instructions from Panasonic, even though they are a little hard to find to be honest. Also important to sit and 'play' with the camcorder, finding settings and adjustments.

I bought it from Littlewoods on December. It is very helpful to easy use what I do. Also instruction is very easy and learn. I carry it very light and comfort with my hand.

The camcorder works as advertised, but the tripod is poorly made. It broke as I pulled it out of the box. Now I have to go through the hassle of sending it back etc?. No fun!

Difficulty attaching the battery, but that was me being me...Otherwise, Sooo easy to use. Utterly delighted. I do read reviews and value people's comments - just returning the favour

Best long-zoom camera at low cost. (If that's what you're looking for)
