Total score ?
(maximal 570)		412358
Pros + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit
+ Many manual controls
+ 1080p50
+ manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
Cons - No Expanded Focus
- No touch focus in manual mode
- no microphone and headphone jacks
- no accessory shoe
- no filter thread
- display resolution only average
Conclusion Not only does Panasonic offer 50p, it also brings enough wide angle (which even isn´t affected by the active image stabilisation), good low-light performance and colors, great sharpness and lots of manual control.Also nice is that the 3D features are now offered as an alternative add-on option.The options for manual control surpass those of competing models.Hardly any lens distorsion, good sharpness and wide angle in combination with acceptable low-light capabilities: that is a novelty in this price region.However, there is zero connectivity in terms of microphones etc.
