Panasonic HDC-TM300 High Definition Flash Memory Camcorder with 32GB Internal Memory & 3MOS Sensor - Black
Requirments: Easy to use, solid state, high spec and HD. I was fed up with mini DV tapes from my last JVC model.
My choice: Top spec, I want/expect this to last 5+ years (My current JVC was bought after seeing it on Jurassic Park!!) Top/latest spec gives some future proofing.
Out of box: Slap the battery in the charger, 2 hours later your off (if you cant wait use the mains adapter). Turn the dial - open the viewer - press the button - instant superb quality HD video.
Details: Quality is superb in all light conditions. Even at a wedding party indoors good results in poor lighting. Face recognition and touch an object to focus/set aperture absolutely excellent.
Size and weight: fits in my suit pocket!!
Price: top line amateur product - price is what I would expect. However spare batteries are expensive as are large capacity SD cards.
Battery/memory life: Tons left after a full wedding day, fast re-charge so I dont think Ill bother with a spare battery (see price). Same goes for the memory although a card might add convenience.
Bad points: next to none - I have large hands, button positions are slightly awkward.
All in all Sublime!!
