Rating: - Handy Dandy DVD Camcorder
Purchased this Tuesday from another store since I needed it before it could be delivered. I completely agree with the previous reviewer on the ease of use of this camcorder. The battery charged in less than an hour and I was ready to go, except I failed to notice they did not include a DVD-R disc. :( So, I had to wait but was not disappointed. I was able to format the disc while using the battery, not the A/C adapter like the previous user, and it took all of 5 seconds. I can't wait to use the camcorder for my daughter's soccer tournament starting Saturday. Go Mustang Fury 96!!!

Rating: - Easy to use
I just bought this camcorder and am not a good reader of manuals. I had it recording in a matter of minutes. You do have to format the mini dvds, but that is easy to find in the manual. The quality of the recording looked great on my computer screen. I bought office depot mini dvds and they worked fine, for the great price. This Panasonic is great and recording straight to mini dvds is a wonderful idea. I would have given it a 5 star rating, but the finalizing of the mini dvd took a while and you have to plug it in, you can't do this using the battery. Also I was warned, that if you use the dvd-ram instead of the dvd-r, they will not work on all players and they prefer to work on Panasonic equipment. This is why I opted for the non re-writable mini dvd-r from office depot. I also bought the PNY SD card from them and the card reader, all very affordable and easy to use.
