The Panasonic SDR-H200 is awesome ! [Posted on 2008-03-21] The panasonic SDR-H200 has met & exceeded all my expectations.
I did a lot of research, and read many reviews. In the beginning, I fully expected to go with a JVC or Sony camcorder, but found the Panasonic SDR-H200 blew them away! The SDR-H200 is the bast value hands down: Color, picture quality, features, ease of use. Panasonic uses the same 3 CCD technology in the SDR-H200 camcorder that is used in the really pricey $1,500+ camcorders.
I bought this camcorder ahead of a recent trip to Hawaii, and it met & exceeded all my expectations. They say not to plan for good still pictures from a camcorder, but I found this panasonic camcorder takes great still pictures, in addition to awesome video. Made a great second still camera for our trip.
This camera has a ton of features to satisfy the video aficionado. I learn something new every time I use it.
I got great battery life, 3+ hours between charges, as long as you keep the view screen light level turned down to a reasonable light level. Even at the low light level the view is really good.
The remote works great for running the camera while taking couple shots on a tripod, or reviewing footage with a TV.
Thanks to the folks who provided recommendations in this forum on manipulating the files. I'm learning the best ways/software to manipulate my files.
I've bought a lot of books through Amazon.com, but this was the first time for electronics. Worked out great! Great price, turn around, convenience, review info.
Great Camcorder! [Posted on 2008-03-30] Very easy to use, very good video quality, plenty of manual controls.
Handling is pretty good, just weird to have the battery coming out so much, especially when using the larger capacity batt... but does not interfere with the controls.
Joystick is very precise, zoom is sensitive to your touch and will go fast or slow as needed.
Not so great on dimmed light, but video light will help, however with some noise in the pic.
Compact, light, very easy to transfer data to pc and edit or burn. Heard issues with mod. files... I use cyberlink power director and everything is smooth (the enclosed software is ok).
Great [Posted on 2008-04-19] I had it for about three months. No problems what so ever. I just don't like the fact that I need to connect it to a power plug as opoosed to running it on battery when transferring files to the computer.
Good for the price paid [Posted on 2008-06-30] Have owned SDR-H200 for about 8 months.
Pros: Decent price, good video quality in well-lit areas, no tape, digital recording.
Cons: poor low light video quality - not unusable, but noticeably grainy picture. Cannot get widescreen mode to work. Video clips are coming in as 4:3. Supplied software leaves a lot to be desired.
recommended.
Good quality product, but they shipped a wire less [Posted on 2008-08-15] The product is amazing. But I did not get the Power cord (I bought it refurbished, but still a wire less is a wire less). It is necessary for transferring to PC. Need to be sure you got everything.
