Good product. Date: October 10, 2009
Pros: Compact, Easy to use
Cons: poor still pictures

"Very easy to use, compact and nice. The zoom is great and the video quality is OK.
It does not have a remote control and this can be bad if you want to take videos while the camcorder is on a tripod or when you want to view the videos on the television.
But the easy of use pays all the dollars spendt.
Also the software includes is very easy to use and allows to do simple video tasks in a easy way. If you need to do more complex tasks you need a more complex software."

amazing video, horrible still Date: August 12, 2009
Pros: Compact, Easy to use, amazing video
Cons: Expensive, poor quality stills, software is hard to use on pc

"You can't find a camera with the same amount of optical zoom as this camera! The quality of the videos is amazing!!! Still shots, on the other hand, are horrible....with .3mp, they are almost always blurry. I took the advice of the guy selling the cameras. He knew I needed the dual function of a camcorder and still shots, but neglected to let me know about the quality of the pics. Also, there is no flash, and the review of stills doesn't allow you to zoom. I'm very disappointed with the salesman because I was excited about an all-in one. I'm very upset with the still quality, but am super impressed with the HD quality of the video. Lesson learned. I also think it's too highly priced for the single capability."

Love this camcorder. Date: April 25, 2009
Pros: Inexpensive, Compact, Durable, Exceeded expectations, Convenient, Easy to use, great zoom lens
Cons: no cons

"Hello, I didn't want to buy this camcorder before i read some reviews but i could not find any. So i took a chance and bought it anyway, The camcorder is simple to use with out even reading the manual, the zoom lens is just great, you can zoom all the way out with very little hand shake. You can go to youtube and see some zoom tests, just type in sdr-h80. so dont be scared of this camcorder its probably on of the best things that i have bought, home run for Panasonic."
