Total score ?
(maximal 570)		395 
Pros Good wide angle
+ Professional controls
 
Cons - low sharpness due to pixel shift
- 4:3 display with low resolution
 
Conclusion As it brings many important functions and operating controls the Panasonic AG-HMC151 is a solid choice for semi-professionals.We especially liked the clever layout of the buttons and switches as well as the 35mm adapter-friendly design with a lock-focus function and the integrated waveform monitor.The AVCHD images make an overall balanced impression.But buyers searching for maximum sharpness will have to look elsewhere.The display with its low resolution is no longer state of the art.
