Summary: decent minidv camcorder for the money
Review: This "southwestconsumer" (sdclark12) wrote over 100 piece of reviews with exactly the same contents and rating against various Panasonic products. This is a person full of hatred towards Panasonic. His reviews have nothing to do with a particular Panasonic product.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Deal for the Price
Review: This camera has a lot of really good features, at a price that won't kill your wallet. Excellent picture quality and audio, plus the ability to dump the video to your PC to edit via the firewire connection. It's compact, easy to use and has some cool effects built in for 'on the fly' editing. Excellent value!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A camera it's not!
Review: We love this camcorder. It's got great picture quality, even in low light, and lots of featuers. Price is great, too.

However, it isn't a camera. We owned a VHS-C Panasonic camcorder that took picutres as files on an SD card. This one takes "pictures" by recording a seven second still image directly onto your tape. You then have to "play" your movie, uh, picture, into the computer, which can convert the video into a still picture. Of course, your pictures could be spread out all over a 90 minute tape.

The real kicker is, the crummy serial cable and software isn't even included.

I'd call it deceptive advertising, to say the least.
