The Panasonic Brand has been very upsetting to our family. We will keep the story as short as possible. The camcorder we bought in July stopped working in September and again in April. The sad part of the story is we had our 1st child on July 2nd. We missed Halloween, Thanksgiving and our dream vacation on Maui in April. I can't begin to tell you about the poor customer service I received from Panasonic. However I will be glad to give my cell phone number to call me before buying a Panasonic product (714-457-9260). Please call me with questions!! Doug

the picture quality is very poor, but does the job. Battery life is good when used in moderation. I normally set the camera and close the screen to conserve batter. I haven't had any problems with this item and I've been to several trips. I've had my kid take some videos during vaction and it has been useless data, not even using third party software. It was like watching a rollercoaster. The OIS is useless on this device. If it really has OIS, it's not noticable. It doesn't help that is very light. You either have a very steady hand or use a pod. I got a small tripod 12 inches tall that I take with me and it works great. Video color needs adjustment, but with my mac is no trouble. By the way, it's mac compitable plug and play. Zoom is also great, but without a tripod is useless. Overall, it's an okay product for the price. I would recommend saving little extra for an HD video and a more stable video feature.
