 Don't waste your money!! July 12, 2010
Dawn Dilley (Little River, SC)
I "upgraded" from my Panasonic Mini-DV camera. Big mistake. My main use for this camera is taping dance competitions, inside. The camera has no light (which I didn't notice until I got it out of the box -- my fault) but even the low-light setting produced TERRIBLE video. Even outside it is not as crisp and clear as my old camera.
Besides the Panasonic name, the reason I purchased this camera is that it is compatible with iMovie. I previously purchased a Sony camcorder and the clerk at Best Buy neglected to tell me that it wasn't compatible with a Mac even though I had told her that I did a lot of video editing on my MAC. Took the Sony back and got the Panasonic. I don't know if I can return this as I have it for a couple of months but it is useless for what I need. I realize I should have checked out the camcorder before I really needed it but I waited and now it may be too late.
I'm going back to Best Buy and see what they say.
I don't want to go to an HD camcorder because they cost too much and use so much memory when editing on my computer.
The only reason I gave this camcorder 2 stars is because it is very light, attractive, has great zoom and easy-to-use menu. But that doesn't make up for the poor video quality.
Very disappointed with Panasonic.

this camera's pictur quality is soooo very bad. my cell phone takes better video. also the included software is not compatible with windows 7 or vista 64 bit. had alot of possibilities but pic quality just kills this camera.
pretty good May 24, 2010

I like the camera but have a major problem with the software that comes with it. The camera records in an MOD format that is not compatable with my video editing software and windows media player. Videosuite 2.0 is very limited in what it will do and I was informed by Panasonic that I can have videosuite 3.0 if I want to pay for it. Yeh right! I would've never bought this camera if I knew what a hassle it would be to work with my video files.
SDR-H80 Review May 18, 2010

Camera is a little small for my hand but was a gift for my wife and fits hers like a glove. She loves it and it is easy to use. Found two downfalls with the camera, no light so you can't film in dark places... not a huge deal breaker and the second is that the software does not seem to be windows 7 compatible. Other than that I have found this to be a great camera for the price and excellent zoom capability and tons of features.
