Pros + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit
+ Many manual controls
+ 1080p50
- Good display
Cons - setting focus manually is a little complicated
- display and viewfinder have low resolution
- Image characteristics can not be changed
- few image control options
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.The high resolution of its 3D images is a real novelty in this price range.In automatic mode, beautiful 3D images can be made quickly and easily.Manual control, however, is scarce.
