What a great deal & very easy to use !

I bought this Panasonic PV-L353 for my Girlfriend's Christmas present last year, and it's been excellent. Many great features at a decent price. After my full size RCA movie camera died, I didn't know how well the new compact camcorders from Panasonic...

Worst camcorder I have ever bought.

I bought this camcorder less than a year ago and once again it is not working. This is the second time that something has broken on it. It is not worth the money, buy a Sony.

Product Specifications

Surprisingly, many camcorders use tapes that won't play in your VCR, often leaving you the complicated task of connecting wires from your camcorder or infrared receiver to your TV in order to watch your recordings. And using your camcorder to play back your home videos causes twice the wear on its heads. Panasonic VHS-C Palmcorder Camcorders are VHS format and come with a VHS PlayPak, so their tapes can be played directly in your VCR. You can expect outstanding picture quality in your recordings since the video head cylinder in the camcorders is the same size as the cylinder in VHS VCRs. When played back on VHS decks, or in the camcorder, the picture is crisp, clear and steady.. Panasonic Palmcorder Camcorders are equipped with a lens capable of 20: 1 optical zoom ratio. This powerful feature acts like a telescope to produce extraordinary close-up shots, superior in clarity to those provided by digital zoom, so you won't miss a single detail. Panasonic camcorders also offer four different zoom speeds, so you can control how fast you go from wide angle to full telephoto zoom - anywhere from 2 to 16 seconds. The PV-L353 is equipped with a 2.5" LCD screen. Each LCD uses over 112, 000 pixels to deliver a brilliantly clear picture in full vivid color. And, they rotate 270
