My husband bought it for like $350 6 or 8 months ago when it first came out. It’s a nice little toy. Really easy to use for me. I find the stabilizer effective up to 30x, at 70x it’s not so easy to get a clear picture.

My family lives in Georgia so I am on the phone all the time, I’d like to send them videos by email or maybe upload to Youtube. can I do that easily with this camcorder? Looks like a great price though.

It’s a good deal I couldn’t find better on shopping comparison sites, even with totally unknown resellers. I thought that I would wait for the next gen camcorders but why spend 100s more when you can get this baby a that price
And yes, you can upload on Youtube, why couldn’t you?

This is actually a great camcorder, I love Panasonic, quality stuff, always, I purchased this about 6 months ago and although the stabilizer is not great without a tripod over 50x, it’s all I needed for recording games and the kid’s birthdays. Prices go down so I don’t regret buying it for $200 more, but this is definitely a great price, considering buying one for my step parents for the holidays.
