 The Panasonic AG-DVC20 November 18, 2008
This camcorder never ceases to amaze me.
It is relatively easy to use right out of the box, and the menu system does take some time to get familiar with (which in and of itself is not a complaint). I don't need XLR input as I run everything through a small studio mixer straight into the 3.5mm input.
I wish I could adapt the camcorder to use 6x6 filters though (not that I am pitching Colkin filters). But, I do use 43mm glass filters which is fine (mostly as warming filter and a polarizing) .....
I produce outdoor videos for the infirmed people in our nursing homes who cannot get out through no fault of their own. I use this camcorder extensively in such harsh conditions as a minus 15 degrees on the shores of Lake Superior to Minnesota's Serengeti summer temps which can hit over 90 degrees (in the shade). I have not been disappointed.
For the price I paid, and all things considered, the DVC-20 is a work horse. I do recommend getting the longer lasting battery though - the two that come with the camcorder should be used for backup only due to limited usage.
I also found that the Audio-Techniqa shotgun mic is very helpful too in nature settings.
 Panasonic Ag DVC 20 November 11, 2008
This is the first pro video camcorder that I have owned. Before I was doing still photograph.
I like the camcorder a lot as a matter of fact I use it right out of the box sight unseen and had no problem what so ever. Was the best decesion I made. I would give it thumbs up! I had read a lot about it in the reviews before it was purchased. I shoot freelance for the local news stations.
Great camera for the price! November 10, 2008
I purchased this camera for shooting music videos, short films and commercials. The major factor in deciding to purchase this camera was the shoulder mount, 3CCD, video quality, and the professional look of the camera. I am very happy with this camera in every aspect. It is perfect for anyone who cannot afford an incredibly expensive camera but still needs one that performs well. Also, with two batteries and a charger(which it comes with) there is never a reason to run out of battery life. I would recommend this camera to anyone starting out in video.
Great Deal! November 9, 2008
My product arrived ahead of schedule and intact. I am very happy with this camera. I film documentary and live performances and for the great price this will up my level of filming a notch!
Excelente desempeno y costo-beneficio October 13, 2008

Una excelente video camara para iniciar en el negocio del video de bodas.
Facil de uso, ligera y con buen desempeno en colores en casi cualquier condicion de luz.
Su desempeno con iluminacion incandecente para el balance de blancos es buena, aunque al momento de grabar si cambia uno de fuente de iluminacion no reacciona adecuadamente al balance de blancos automatico, para lo cual es necesario estar actualizando el ajuste.
El sonido tambien debe trabajarse en forma semi automatica pues puede saturarse muy facilmente.
El unico pero que encontre en la camara se refiere al enfoque de imagen,
no tiene una excelente nitides y definicion comparada con las nuevas camaras de alta definicion, pero en la relacion costo-beneficio presente un desempeno mejor que aceptable.
La recomiendo ampliamente como camara para iniciar en el negocio o como camara de repuesto o emergencia en caso de contar con alguna de mayor rango de precio.
