I just bought this camcorder and read a number of reviews on it. Mostly good, but some not so good. So when I bought it I made sure I could return it if it didn’t meet my expectations. Well, I was presently surprised and estatic when all my audio and video needs were met with this great, compact camcorder. Yes, I can slip it in my pocket. Picture quality was great, with zoom the stabilization worked well, night shots where not a problem (some reviews noted an issue), and audio quality was fine. I especially liked the fact that when I took still pictures I didn’t get blurred pictured (without a flash). I do wish the view finder were alittle bigger without making the camera bigger.
I have not put this camera under water yet, which still scares me abit.
All in all, I happily recommend this camera.

This is by far one of the biggest rip-offs in cameras today. The guts inside this camera were high tech in the year 1999. Video is serviceable at best and the stills it takes aren’t even 1MP. For god sakes cell phones take better pictures then this thing. The original iphone takes better stills.
If you just want this for video then get one of the many better underwater video cameras out there. There are plenty of good ones to choose from and they are all cheaper then this piece of junk.
Just to show you how bad it is [. . . ]refused to do a review of the camera because it was so bad and way overpriced. They said it didn’t even deserve to be reviewed, and after playing with one myself I have to agree. Its sad because panasonic makes so decent cameras, but they gave the engineers the day off on this one. . . . avoid at all costs!!!!

I took this white water rafting, and it held up like a champ. It doesn’t shoot very crisp video, and considering the bright sun, conditions were pretty ideal, but the results were far from. The thing is though, that doesn’t really matter. If you want to shoot decent video, buy a decent video camera. This thing, on the other hand, is waterproof! And extremely so! I don’t know if you’ve ever been white water rafting, but it can get pretty brutal, and after getting completely submerged more than once, and bounced around a few times as well, the unit still looks and performs as good as new. I’m very, very impressed with its build quality. I give 4 stars because I’m not very impressed with its image quality.
If you need something you can abuse, this is your camera; it’ll take it. If you need something which will produce impressive video, buy something else. And be careful with it.
