When this came out I contacted Panasonic to tell them it was junk and they yelled at me. Hmmm, I guess I was right. I bought the JVC GY-DV5100 instead and I'm glad I did.

I found out later after sending it back to the repair shop about 5 times that instead of the tape going around the head that the head did not revolve. Intead the tape went around the drum and residue from the tape would build up on the head and the camera would not work. You would then have to take a long Q tip and dip it in alcohol reach in and clean the head. This camera caused me a lot of headaches before I got rid of it. I'll never deal with panasonic again, it'll always be sony.

Modern, solid state (no moving parts!) high-def video cameras are the thing now! I can recommend the Panasonic HS700 camcorder. It does everything I want, and really well. Over 7 hours of high-def video on a 16GB card - superb!

I love Panasonic. Just not their very low-level prosumer models. I have had my DVX100B for 2 years now, and the only complaints I have are that it isn't natively 16:9, it's standard definition, and it only records to MiniDV. All their stuff with the SD cards and P2's are awesome! In my opinion, much better than Sony, and I have owned several Sony's.

@blackweatherman Thanks for your video. I'm currently studying film/digital in college ( I went back to school at 38 yrs. old) and don't know alot about the equipment side of all of this. I have been impressed with other types of sony equipment so what do you recommend?
