    CNET Review

    January 20, 2006

    The Good: Great sound, progressive modes, and image control; professional-caliber viewfinder and controls; wide lens; particularly well suited for multicamera projects.

    The Bad: No high-definition capability; no 16:9-native chips; lens is short for some applications; moderately steep learning curve.

    The Bottom Line: Panasonic has listened. The third incarnation of the AG-DVX100 offers unrivalled bang for the buck in a prosumer standard-definition MiniDV camera.
