some flaws yet good overall perfomance
What are the strengths?
Superb HD video. it has a raft of frame-rate choices and it supports solid-state P2 media as well as tape. i think this camera is terrific. i likes its relatively wide-angle lens. it is affordable, easy to Use. it comes with some really nice features like its P2 Technology, the DV tape back-up, 24pN allowing variable frame rates, Focus Assist, DVCPRO HD codec. Excellent Video Quality
What are the weaknesses?
Steep learning curve. it has a noninterchangeable lens. i found it heavy for handheld shooting. LCD is a little small. On board Mic picks up zoom noise. also the supplied Component Cable is a little short. Don't expect superior low-light capabilities
Summary
With its AG-HVX200, Panasonic raises the bar again, bringing us professional HD versatility and quality at a lower price than ever. Many people think this camera is too expensive, however, compared to comparable HD cameras, the HVX is an absolute bargain.

Heavy but good
What are the strengths?
Mesmrizing video quality is the first thing that comes to my mind. It left me stunned. it has a DV tape back up and also a focus assist which is a boon for me. It even looks very good. It has a 3.5 inch LCD screen which is amazing and also has 13x optical zoom.
What are the weaknesses?
It is a little heavy. That makes it difficult to lug it around.
Summary
This camcorder is basically great. It has an amazing LCD, great video quality and the focus assist is really the best feature for people like me who cant really stay still while focussing. I think its a great camcorder to invest in.

A Good Quality Handy cam
What are the strengths?
This cam gets almost everything right. Its video quality is simply spectacular. It also has a focus assistance feature. The lenses used are really good. It also has a back up for DV tape.
What are the weaknesses?
The one weakness I noticed most about this cam is its weight. It is quite heavy, which makes it difficult to carry or hold for a long time. Also, its LCD display is a smaller than one would expect.
Summary
Panasonic delivers yet another winner. This cam is good. The best part about it is that it has amazing video quality. It uses near perfect lenses. And for those of us who have a habit of moving a little too much while focusing on something, its Focus Assist is a blessing. It is a bit too heavy. But because of some of its unique features, one is very likely to ignore this tiny little problem

A Good Camcorder
What are the strengths?
This cam is plain brillaint. It has amazing lenses. It supports P2 media. It also has a DV tape back-up. It has a focus assist. It has excellent video quality.
What are the weaknesses?
The mic tends to pick up zoom noises. LCD is a tad bit too small and also has a low resolution. Its lenses arent inter-changeable. Plus, its a little too heavy.
Summary
This cam seems to be perfect. It has its flaws, yes, but it is brilliant none-the-less. It doesnt cost much. Infact, it is very affordable. It has excellent features, which some of the more expensive cam's dont have. It is a little big and heavy, so it might be uncomfortable to carry it around all the time. But it is a good camcorder which has everything one could want.
