Digital Cameras Ratings: Panasonic AG-HVX200A 1/3" 3 CCD P2 HD/DV Handheld Camcorder, 13x Optical Zoom, 3.5" LCD Screen, SD/SDHC Memory Card Slot Review

Average Reviews:
1.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Smaller components, such as the headphone jack, IEEE1394 jack, etc will fail on you and repairs will cost you hundreds of dollars. I purchased one of these cameras in august of 2009 only to have both the headphone jack and IEEE 1394 port fail - only days out of the one-year warranty expiration period.

Do NOT buy this camera because for what your paying (an extremely expensive $3,000+ price tag) you would expect a much more quality product. **These various ports and jacks failing are a known issue with these cameras. See the panasonic forums and other websites**
