Summary: This camcorder is crap folks
Review: First let me say that i didn't buy this camera from amazon.com but from wal-mart.After purchasing this camera it wasn't a week after using it and the focus would blur out after extensive use..So needless to say i returned the camera to the store and got a 2nd.Ahh just to learn that the cassette door wouldn't stay shut when i tape was in place.So i returned it and got a 3rd one to think it would be a charm right?..Not! After using it for a month or so the lens went out..Would record sound just fine but no video.:(..So this ol boy won't be buying another panasonic cam corder anytime soon.

Review: I bought this camera with my money, and i have never been happier with anything else. The resolution is great, its got many effects, and the digital camera works great. One thing I love about the digital camera is that you can hook up the camera to the TV, turn on the digital camera, and play the pictures, creating a slide-show. I really like the way the camcorder part is easy to use; I was able to teach myself how to use it and I'm a first time user. So, it is a great first time use camera.

Review: I have wanted a video camera for years and years. When I finally decided to get one, I chose this one. I read all the reviewers comments, and compared it to other products. I even found it here on Amazon for ...less than I saw it at another online store. As for using it, so far it's been easy to figure out. And the videos are bright, crystal clear and colorful -- both indoors and out. I still have to play with it a little bit (it's my first camcorder ever) but I have the basics down pat. Indoors and out, my family and I are having a ball with this. I agree with the others who said it's a great first camcorder.

My father died a month ago, and I am the only family member who has him in living, breathing, talking and singing color on video - thanks to this cam. A few weeks after I bought it, I took it with me on a visit to see him. If I thought it was a splurge purchase back when I bought it, it's value has become priceless as I've found comfort in these sad times by watching and rewatching the video I made of my dad back in 2002!

Summary: Easy to use, lots of capability!
Review: I have worn out two other camcorders in the past 18 years. When I decided to replace my most recent one, I wanted something that would have an LCD screen, be comfortable to hold, and be easy to operate. I also didn't want to spend a lot of money. With a little research, I found the PV-L452, and was delighted with its list of features, including the capability of taking digital still photos! After purchasing it, I charged the battery and read through the instruction book, then began shooting. The camcorder is a nice weight, heavy enough to feel solid, but light enough to be held without fatigue, with conveniently placed controls. The zoom operates cleanly and crisply. The camcorder includes a number of special effects, and once connected to my computer, editing was a snap! This is a wonderful camcorder for the price, with plenty of high end features for those of us that enjoy videotaping, yet is easy enough for a novice to pick up and take great video right away. The digital still feature takes very good photos, better than I had expected! I would not hesitate to recommend this camcorder!

Summary: Nice Camera...but it won't talk to my PC
Review: I purchased this camcorder/digital camera in May 2002 and found that it takes excellent video, is easy to use, and seemed to be a good value. Unfortunately my good first impression came to an end. Despite every trick known to a computer geek and following Panasonic's instructions to the letter, I cannot get the camera to "talk" to my PC. Therefore the digital camera function is worthless to me now. Panasonic's product literature states the Windows 95/98/Me/2000 OS is required. I am using Windows XP. So I went to Panasonic's website to download the newest iteration of the software but that didn't solve the problem. I called Panasonic's customer service and despite numerous busy signals, finally reached a rep who was basically clueless. It might be the cable, but I don't want to buy a new one. I'd really like Panasonic to solve the problem!

Summary: Very nice for the price
Review: I think this camcorder/camera is very nice!! I have used it to download pictures and they turn out great. I did have a little problem with it saying that it was not connected but after just trying a few more times it worked. I love it and especially for the price and the accessory kit. I am anxious to use it more!! You can find the memory cards at at good deal. I bought a 64mb one so that I will have lots of room. Lots of gadgets on the camcorder but will take time to figure them all out but I think a VERY good deal for the price!!!
