 GREAT easy to use camcorder April 28, 2005

I wanted a camcorder that was reasonably priced, not too large and with the ability to use a VCR tape that could go directly into my VCR. This camcorder more than met these requirements. The VCR-C tape goes into an adapter and can be immediately viewed on a VCR. You can dub a tape directly to the normal size VCR tape directly from the camera. There are great digital effects possible - fading in and out of the picture in a number of different colors and shapes. It has both optical and digital zoom for a total of 70x. There is an image stabilizer for use when riding in a car or walking. Plus more features. Great LCD view screen.
With the newer digital and DVD recorders, this one may seem a bit out of date, but it is much more reasonably priced and is VERY EASY to use. The manual can be a bit unclear, but if you read it carefully, a few times, everything becomes clear.
Excellent product.

I BOUGHT A NEW PV-L354D CAMCORDER IN MARCH OF 2005. IVE USED IT SPARINGLY. THE SOUND WENT OUT OR I HEAR STATIC & THATS ALL. MY WIFE WENT THRU THE ROOF WHEN WE VIDEOTAPED MY DAUGHTERS RECITAL & BIRTHDAY & ALL WE HEARD ON THE PLAYBACK WAS STATIC.IM FURIOUS. PANASONIC REFUSES TO HELP ME. SO HERE I AM STUCK WITH A PIECE OF S--T CAMCORDER THAT HAS NO SOUND. I WILL NOT BUY ANY PANASONIC PRODUCT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THEIR USELESS PRODUCT HELP DEPARTMENT. THANK U THANK U VERY MUCH.

Panasonic PV-L354 - NO SOUND is no good!! June 13, 2006

I, too, thought this was an excellent camcorder for several months until I did a playback of one of those events that can't be repeated and....NO SOUND!! The video looks great, but...NO SOUND!! It had worked fine on several occasions and even now, I can shoot a quick video and check to make sure there is sound on the playback before I shoot the important moment I want to capture. Then I shoot the main event and, again, NO SOUND!! Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't...very unpredictable. I thought it was operator error on my part until I saw Mark Noll's review.
Panasonic's customer service was no help at all. It's time for a new (non-Panasonic) camera.
So...you might get one that works fine, but with this camcorder, you are taking a chance that, at some point, you will miss something great.

This camcorder has ruined everything!!!!! The sound had worked on and off for a while- very unpredictable. We taped my son's birthday party in January and it taped the sound. We used it the next month to tape my newborn twins in the hospital and there was NO SOUND!!!! I was crushed. I tried another tape and magically the sound worked when I was just fooling around and not taping anything important, so I used it to tape their first tub baths- NO SOUND!!! It has missed them laughing, babbling, etc. We have no money to buy another camera. We paid $25 to get it looked at and the idiot man thought we'd pay in excess of $175 plus parts to get it ("possibly") fixed. Are you kidding me??? We can never get those "firsts" back and I am soooo very upset. Customer Service was no help (besides the fact I could never understand the representatives) and I will not buy another Panasonic product. They couldn't even give me an approved Panasonic dealer anywhere close to where we live. We traveled 45 minutes to get it looked at. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!!! There are several of us that bought these and have had the same problems. We've all bought them at different times too showing that Panasonic has some repeating problem!!!

I am from the old school. So I not only loved the VHS recording format, but if I wanted to dip into modern day technology the photo feature on this particular model will allow me to. Compared to other camcorders under $250 the picture isn't as great but good enough! Remember you get the best of both worlds with this one!! It's easy to use and it's cheap!!!!!!!!!
