Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

My firsthand experience with it.With its pros: Amateur shooting quality. The result matches the price. Some cons: The image is not bad, sometimes fails in a poorly lit place.

The product does not match the description, poor quality.

I was looking for a camera for a long time, in particular I read reviews here on the market. Bought and disappointed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! Pros: only pleases the optical zoom, was at sea quite clearly saw the ship passing in the distance. Cons: The quality of the video is simply terrible, even on the street in bright sunlight it didn’t go anywhere, but in the room some shades appear and faces are blurry, not clear enough.

The quality is at zero, very sorry for the money spent.

I used this model for 2 weeks and returned it. If someone has the illusion that "it seems to be not expensive" so she does not shoot as it should. Pros below: The advantage of this model is compactness, price, well, shooting in daylight with a stretch . and that’s all Its cons: The main drawback is the shooting quality: even at full settings indoors, it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny . noise, graininess, halos, and the full list . The on / off key itself and the mode change resemble a mine, in…

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

amateur camera. The picture is good, the sound is mediocre. You can stupidly copy the files to your computer and view - this is an offset to the MPEG2 format (but because of this, the image quality deteriorates). Now I sold it and use the HS300.

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

in principle, a good model for amateur video. if you expect to get a better result, you need to take a more powerful model with a good resolution. for amateur shooting a normal camera.

No complaints, I recommend the product for purchase.

Writes only on memory cards, which explains the price and weight. This is an amateur, for example, it suits me. Now changed to SDR-H280. I’m sorry about the zoom - although at maximum magnification it’s stupid with the image, it shoots nishtyak at 50 x, this is enough

I can't say that I was completely satisfied with the product.

Initially I was looking for a replacement for my old Canon MVX450 mini camera. I wanted to find a camera that would not be inferior in image quality + that would save me from unnecessary trouble (to be honest, I was tired of digitizing films). After reading positive reviews, I decided to take it. The first test clips filmed by Panasonic showed that the camera noticeably loses to the old camera in terms of image clarity (the boundaries of objects are somewhat blurred, moving objects leave…

Pros
  • Interesting zoom features, a good stabilizer, light weight, compactness, convenient location of connectors, good sound, no mechanical storage medium and sound interference from it, simple and convenient software included, low price.
Cons
  • Insufficiently clear video, poor sensitivity in low light conditions (I generally keep quiet about night shooting), the standard battery lasts for 50 minutes. recording, I did not find extended-capacity batteries for sale, the base one costs about 3000, which is 1/3 of the cost of the camera itself. Consider no photo mode.

Bad! I am not satisfied with the quality of the product.

The camera was presented to the child on the DR - otherwise there was an unequivocal return. As a tool for learning video shooting, it is 5+, as a device for household shooting, it is not suitable at all. As already mentioned in other comments, it is better not to shoot indoors at all. On the street, shoot only with a very strong hand, then details will begin to be drawn on the blurred picture. The camera is generally contraindicated for children, except when it is required to approve the hand.

Pros
  • 1. Full set of manual settings. 2. Quick access to the flash card. 3. Closable manual blinds 4. Mpeg2 5. Technological zoom
Cons
  • 1. Soap optics 2. Low sensitivity matrix 3. No stub 4. Short shooting time from a standard battery.

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

if you are satisfied with the image resolution of 640 * 480, take it without even thinking, you won’t regret it If you haven’t had a video camera before and you want to and you know how to find something to shoot (that is, you don’t sit without taking your off the sofa and don’t grunt, why is this a camera with 70 zoom so lousy shoots the sofa against)) Believe me if you know how to move and think this camera is for you! Panasonic, respect.

Pros
  • 1. + Controls are placed according to the mind, nothing gets in the way 2. + Compactness (I carry a camera in my jacket pocket) 3. + Lightness (if you hold on weight, your hand gets tired less than with a heavier camera) 4. + Everything snaps into place, closes conveniently without hanging out (the only thing is that the mini usb is not very conveniently closed) 5. + Optical stabilization is not electron 6. + Honestly I thought it would be a complete mess at night, for the sake of fun I went to shoot at the pat of the window, God forbid, zoom 70) yes, it's tin . the dudes were real out of the window, so people close the windows))) I used a digital zoom up to 100 * burned in moderation, the picture 640 * 480 can be seen without any special . oh for . In short, pluses to hell, if you describe everything in detail, it will come out a lot
Cons
  • I won’t argue, but the rear wheel looks dumb)))) in short, all the cons are nonsense compared to the pros

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

To be very honest, I did not detect any "squareness" in the image. Although it's not in Full HD, it's also not particularly disturbing. The quality is average. You are able to watch on a computer and on 32 LCD screens. I can't say anything terrible. The picture is acceptable, especially considering the low cost and somewhat low resolution. I was really interested in writing about zoom. The seventies are truly great to look back on! I just got back from a trip outside of the country, and while I

Pros
  • 10x optical zoom, solid image stabilization, a space-saving yet aesthetically pleasing design, and an affordable price.

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lousy product, low quality.

Shoot only during the day, only on the street when the weather is clear, and use a tripod whenever possible if you want to get at least something out of it. I'm not sure what you mean when you say things like "it works just like a regular camera" and "and so on and so forth." It seems as though you just got your hands on a video camera for the first time because you don't understand how they work and you have no idea how the video that you capture should look! Instead of using our outdated…

Pros
  • which are extremely uncommon: + Large optical zoom factor of 70x + Portable and lightweight + Relatively straightforward menu structure
Cons
  • ((a dead battery; inadequate stabilization; an imperfect matrix; consequently, inaccurate color reproduction; And this is the most significant minus! The image quality is simply atrocious; everything is "blurred," there is a lack of sharpness and clarity in the middle and far distance plans, there is noise in the picture, and the image is stabilized optically; however, you cannot tell what it is doing because you cannot see it. As a little darker - therefore, in general, the picture is depressing and full of noise. It would be better if you didn't take any pictures! In most cases, I choose to remain silent about the night mode because everything is choppy.

Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

I am having second thoughts about purchasing this camcorder. I am aware that I have made some errors, and because of those errors, I previously held a different opinion. The thing to keep in mind is that the clarity of the video is extremely reliant on both the settings and the appropriate conversion of the video. Ulead VideoStudio has been a part of my workflow for a considerable amount of time. It makes it simple for you to convert MOD files, which the camera writes, to AVI in its most common

Pros
  • Despite this, it's a decent camera. There are positive aspects to this. This includes things like how simple it is to use, how well it's designed, how compact it is, how well it stabilizes images optically, how powerful the zoom is, and how good the video quality can be with the right settings and editing.
Cons
  • Small matrix 1/8. When using low light mode, the noise level is extremely high. Furthermore, if you turn on the backlight compensation mode at the same time, the video will become even more unwatchable due to the increased amount of background noise. And one's perception of clarity worsens. There are also a few minor flaws, such as the fact that the text can be erased very quickly, and the inscription "Stereo Zoom" in particular can be erased very quickly. wiped out totally and forever. Despite the fact that I'm very careful with the camera. My old Samsung camera, which I purchased about a year ago, has not yet deleted anything from its memory card. In addition to that, the gasket that was attached to the camera's base quickly detached itself. But these are relatively minor concerns.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

The camera was presented by my parents to receive a certificate, quite recently, but I already managed to figure it out. A decent photo video image, shoots at a very long distance, responds to commands quickly. It has a cool LCD that I need so much for watching videos. Writes about 13 hours (a little more). A bold plus-stabilizer works exactly - the picture is clear, without interference and noise. Ultra zoom is cool - near and far shooting is a pleasure. in general, it gives an excellent…

Pros
  • Compact, ergonomic, pre-shooting, ultra zoom
Cons
  • Photos are so-so - I prefer to take pictures with a camera.

I did not find the advantages of the product, I do not recommend it.

A complete disappointment with the quality of the video. My Panasonic camera shoots video better than the camera and costs half the price! There is an interesting WEB MODE. Haven't experienced it yet. Otherwise, everything is very sound and high quality. It just lies in the hand as if grown! CONCLUSION: I recommend purchasing this camera to anyone who does not care about the quality of shooting or who is not going to shoot at all! Joke. You understand me.

Pros
  • Everything is convenient! And this is not enough. The zoom is just super. Optical stabilizer on top! I liked the price the best. I just saw an ad, decided to look and feel, and as a result immediately bought it. Which rarely happens to me. An interesting feature is that it is widescreen.
Cons
  • Video horror. Uploaded to the phone, it will look normal, but it’s impossible to watch on my plasma at home: the quality of the picture, everything is blurry and halos. Noises are, but at such quality it is nonsense. During the day in the sun is more or less normal. I wish I had made the connectors differently - here they are not very convenient.

Normal amateur camera. It cannot shoot professional quality, but amateur quality is fine, even without special settings. I am a little dissatisfied with the work of the camera - after all, the resolution is small, even a screenshot of watching a video from a computer will be better. But on the other hand, there is a powerful zoom and convenient control, and the price is minimal for a good camera.

Pros
  • Compact, inexpensive
Cons
  • Photo quality

The worst purchase in my life, dont repeat my mistake

In order to squeeze at least something out of it, you need to shoot only during the day, only on the street in clear weather and better with a tripod. I don’t know what you write there, that it’s like a normal camera, and so on and so forth . It looks like you took a video camera in your hands for the first time, you don’t understand them and have no idea how the captured video should look like ! We bought, or rather my sister and mother (I myself would not take such a life!), This camera for

Pros
  • of which there are few: + Large 70x optical zoom + Compact and lightweight + Pretty simple menu
Cons
  • (( - dead battery - poor stabilization - a bad matrix, and hence the color reproduction. And this is the most significant minus! The quality of the picture is simply terrible: everything is "blurred", no sharpness and clarity in the middle and far plans, noisiness in the picture, stabilization, although optical, but you can't see what it is. As a little darker - so in general the picture is miserable, solid noise. It's better not to take pictures! I generally keep quiet about the night mode - everything is jerky.

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Personally, I did not notice any "squareness" in the image. Yes, not FullHD, but not "creepy" either. Normal quality. You can watch on a computer and 32 LCDs. I can't say anything bad. For such a price and standard resolution, the picture is decent. Really wanted to write about zoom. The 70s are really impressive! I recently returned from a trip abroad, I managed to capture a lot of interesting details. And not only to shoot, but also to consider. Now I love French architecture even more. By…

Pros
  • 10x zoom, good image stabilization, compact and stylish design, reasonable price

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

Amateur image quality - all the details are visible, the original colors are transmitted, the stabilizer works fine at maximum magnification. The camera is lightweight and fits comfortably in the hand. Doesn't really shoot in a dark room - only if you turn on some kind of light. Has some pros Dimensions, price, excellent image quality during active shooting (super stabilizer) Cons below: does not shoot well in a dark room - only with additional light

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

The camera is simple and understandable both in operation and in further installation (normal understandable software is included in the package). When working with zoom, there is no so-called sticking, the picture changes softly and smoothly, the stabilizer does not slow down. The image quality is amateur, you can't help it. I am not happy with night shooting - it is simply impossible without additional lighting.

Pros
  • Compactness, normal image quality, convenient slot location, powerful zoom
Cons
  • no night shooting - without additional light you can not see a single light.
