Reviews of the Panasonic SDR-H80 (silver)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Manual controls; 60GB hard drive; 70x optical zoom with stabilization.
The Bad: Mediocre video quality; USB, power input behind battery.
The Bottom Line: The Panasonic SDR-H80 has the zoom power of a telescope and a lot of storage in a compact body, but the video results are not nearly as thrilling.
