I had read a lot of praise for Panasonic Camcorder HC-x9xx series, but the 920 exceeds all my expectations. The grip is very fast because the device is very intuitive regarding the basic operations. At the first trial, HD images are obtained of remarkable quality. The viewfinder - so useful when you have the sun in the back giving an easily readable screen - is adjustable to fit any view and the image is as perfect as on the screen (which itself is fantastic). Transfer to PC, DVD, Blu-ray, hard drive, etc. is easy with the HD Writer software supplied with the camcorder. This software also allows - and simply - with the montage of scenes between them all possible transition effects. The documentation is provided while remaining clear. I honestly do not regret my investment!
