Digital camera reviews of Panasonic SDR-H60 60 GB Hard Drive Camcorder with 50x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Digital camera Review: Can't be beat for the price.
Summary: 5 Stars

I'll start by saying what everyone else is saying, for the price, this camera is a gem. The 50x zoom with OIS is amazing and you can't really describe it, you have to see it in action to understand. To really understand how much of a difference it makes, just turn it off and you'll wonder why there is even a reason to be able to turn it off at all.

The main complaint is the video software - I didn't even install it. The camera records video into files with a .MOD extension. Just plug the camera into your computer via the USB cable and copy those files over then rename them to .MPG and you can play and edit them in any software that supports .MPG (just about everything). Point is, the software is not a reason not to get this camera - and video conversion is a snap as long as you know that you really aren't recording in a proprietary format, it's just a quick change of the file extension and you're good to go.

(I'll leave video/sound quality to the other reviews as it's fine for my needs.)
