BIG CAMERA, not an American model!

I have to say the camera is fantastic! I shoot mostly theatrical productions and was able to get very clean shots from 80 feet from the stage. I found the camera to be very intuitive to use straight out of the box and I really like the three rings and their functions. Since the light changes A LOT in the theater I really enjoyed the iris ring. I am very happy with my purchase. The reason for only three stars is that the camera I bought from ELECTRONICS BASKET was not an American model, which means you cannot register it or take advantage of the 3 year warranty. I immediately reset the camera and bought a new one from a reputable store. The main differences that I noticed right away: 1- The US version came in 2 boxes (box within the box), both boxes looked almost the same, only one is slightly larger than the other (non-US version only came in a smaller box). 2 - The US version had the actual book guides in English and Spanish (the version for other countries only had one CD). 3- The cables for the battery and power adapters were much longer in the US version and 4 (and most importantly) the serial number for the US version starts with AG-AC90APJ (non-US only had AG-AC90A which I didn't you can even find it on the PANASONIC website). The electronic trolley answered all my questions very quickly and processed the return quickly. I recommend them for this, but I wouldn't buy any other gear from them, even though their prices were a lot cheaper than the others (you get what you pay for).

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Difficult to say
