Review on 📷 Panasonic SDR-S50A Std-Def SD Camcorder - 78X Zoom, Wide Angle Lens (Blue) (Discontinued) by Terence Dardant

Tried three SDR series cameras. They're pretty good for the money, but you definitely get what you pay for. The first camera was the SDR-S26, which had very short battery life, slow start-up time, and a screen that only worked in certain positions after a while (this is fairly typical of digital camcorders, but Panasonic makes repairs exceptionally difficult). on his own). The next one I bought was the SDR-S50, which had much better battery life, zoom and startup time, but the camera failed after a few months of regular use and required a motherboard replacement. The next SDR-S50 I bought did the same, but only two weeks later. Long story short, if you're looking for something small to tinker with and aren't abusing the cameras too much, it's not a bad thing. Buy. If you're an investigator and need something cheap that will keep you going until you've saved up enough for better gear, this is a good buy. Otherwise, don't expect too much from them.
