Expert review by : Gavin Owen (cnet.com.au)

Panasonic HDC-HS80

 

The HS80 lacks the sleekness of its competitors and the video quality, while satisfactory, fails to break any new ground.

Comfortable to hold ; Warm, realistic colours ; Effective image stabilisation

Poor low-light performance ; Frustrating interface and menus

The design of the HDC-HS80 camera is unappealing, as it lacks the modern sleekness of its competitors, and the video quality, while satisfactory, doesn't live up to other cameras within its range. The external LED light and image stabiliser are saving...

Panasonic HDC-HS80

 

The Panasonic HDC-HS80 measures just 60mm x 64mm x 109mm (W/H/D) and weighs a minute 265g. The camera records full 1080p video at an impressive 50 frames per second. Featuring a 120GB hard drive, the HDC-HS80 allows you to record up to 20 hours of...

If you are looking to upgrade your old camcorder, you won’t find much better at this price range. The HDC-HS80 is small and has more features than you can shake a stick at. The lack of advanced manual controls may put some off, but for 90% of home...

Panasonic HDC-HS80K HD Digital Camcorder with 33.7mm Wide-Angle Lens, 37x Optical Zoom, 42x Intelligent Zoom, 120GB, Hybrid O.I.S Active Mode, Black

 

These are my impressions:1. Very compact and almost fits into the palm of my hand.2. It's amazing how close it zooms in and how little hand-shake there is. Of course, at maximum zoom it get more difficult to control the shake.3. The audio recording is...

Panasonic HDC HS80

 

It is a very compact camera, easy to put even in a handbag. Image quality is very good. I managed to drop it soon after going on holiday, but thankfully seems robust enough to take the knock. All in all, I'm very pleased with it after three weeks of...

I have a relatively big hand and its small size can be awkward. The strap has limited adjustment. Wind noise can be an issue, but probably no more than any other camera.

Panasonic HDC HS80

 

1. Crystal clear video quality. (tested on normal and HD TV) 2. 120 GB hard disk (enough to store total of 19 + hours of Video) 3. Very light weight (you don't feel pain in hand despite holding steadily for 20-30 minutes as well). 4. Most affordable...

1. Battery hardly long for 1.5 hours in one go, 2. Need to spend additional amount (£5 to £15) for HDMI cable, 3. Still pictures (photos) not upto mark (note: But video's are Awesome),
