Hi, just wondering if you know if this camcorder is compatible with an Apple MacBook Pro and I-Life 09? I'm having a nightmare finding a decent compatible camcorder at this pricepoint...
Hi, not an HD camcorder, it's Standard Definition Hard Drive - easy to use, zoom was great, good battery life - dealt well with changing light outside and also worked well in indoor lighting. Mark, if you're looking to buy, type camcorder review into google for some good sites - most camcorders at this price point perform pretty well, without knowing what you're going to be using your camcorder for (it's Ok, I don't need to know!) I reckon go for hard drive/SD over disk or tape for home use.
Hello, could you tell me if you are happy with the sdr-h80 camcorder. and i would like to hear some pros and cons. Because I'm trying to find the best camcorder before i buy, thank you Mark.
Rik says: LJ well done for such informative presentations at the weekend, great footage and great funky music as ever. Also great outfit too. Thank you for filming, reviewing and posting!
Mike, thanks for your comment and rating. Yes, a tripod will definitely make the 70x optical zoom more impressive, and yes, the end of most lenses don't look as sexy as the middle!
Hi Dave, if you go to Panasonic's Website, click on Camcorders, you should be able to find the tech specs you'll need. For some reason, I can't seem to post the link from this connection - hope that helps...

Hi man. I was wondering, is this a hd camera?
Does it take great footage in darker areas, like in normal indoor lightning?

the 70x optical zoom sounds impressive, but there is, and will be, fringing due to the small lenses being used.
plus, when using zooms,even with image stabilisation, a tripod should be used.
i'd turn the IS off though when using a tripod, and turn it on when hand holding the camera and not using the zoom to it's extreme range.

Hello LJ,
great footage taken with the Panasonic SDR-H80.
Remember me?
I bought the JVC camcorder you were demonstrating on QVC at the end of last year. Looks like i will be upgrading to this after midnight.
Look forward to you reviewing the camcorder - credit card at the ready.
Give me a mention or a quick wave.
