"Perfect for me"
What I like:
Excellent HD picture quality, compact & easy to use
What I don't like:
Low light performance, wind noise
Review:
This is an excellent HD camcorder, producing stunning HD images on my Panasonic TH-42PZ700. I would definitely recommend the Panasonic VW-BN1 burner to go with this so as to enable lossless, no-fuss transfer from the camcorder to DVDs. Outdoor images are quite brilliant, but performance suffers in low light. Users shooting primarily indoors in low-light conditions should perhaps look elsewhere. Nevertheless, highly recommended.

Samsung SMX-F34
Has plenty of features for a budget camcorder, but its video quality isn't particularly impressive
