Great Price on Panasonic Camcorder

[GaryBo]

If anyone is in search of a good camcorder to video their lights, this might be a good solution.


I recently purchased a Panasonic SDR-S50 , SD Video Camera (camcorder).
Right now it is on sale at Sam's Club and also online with them for $179.00.
Panasonic's MSRP is $249.00, and I have seen it elsewhere from $209.00 to $249.00.


I know that there are several other good camcorders, but this one is a good one especially for the price.
It has a fantastic zoom and is a wide angle, and has great low light and sound capability.
I have “played” with it and have gotten excellent results.


Uses SD cards, no hard drive, and has a USB interface.

Do you have any video you have shot with it that you could share?

[GaryBo]

Jim,
Nothing of significance. Just a test video of my house when it was very dark and windy and an extreme close up of the casinos, which are approx 5 miles away (crow flies) from my house..
Will have to wait until Christmas for the good videos.
Video was a "mod" file extension, I converted to mp4.
I don't think it will play in Windows Media Player, but will play in Nero, VLC, FLV or Corel Ulead.
Forgive the amateurish of the video. I should have had it on a tripod, instead of hand held.
