I purchased this camera to replace my Sony Digital 8, which recently stopped working after 5 years of continual use. This camera cost half as much as my Digital 8 but keep in mind that cameras no longer have all the moving parts, video head, etc., which adds to the cost. Panasonic is also a good name brand so I decided to give this camera a try.

The professional reviews say that the picture quality is OK but users who owned the SDR-S50 had samples on YouTube that, to me, looked better than OK. Many more owners of this camera gave it a good review. Apparently, the professional reviews were correct. The quality may be acceptable if you are just using it for web videos, but if you are using it for videos that you plan to burn to a DVD and watch on a larger television screen, the quality is very poor.

To me, the SDR-S50 was not suitable for videos that I want to preserve for many years. I eventually returned this camera and purchsed a high definition camera which cost a little more than my old Digital 8 but with picture quality that exceeded my Digital 8. The picture quality of the SDR-S50, as compared to my Digital 8 camera, left much to be desired.
