Review

Pros: small size, good layout, high quality picture and logical menus
Cons: no hot shoe for accessories – just a passive sshoe
Opinion:
Really easy to use camera with superb results on the miniDV tapes. The Panasonic can shoot good pictures in even very low light. Excellent value for money.
