The Panasonic HDCTM20 features a 16x optical zoom. You can zoom close to catch dynamic shots of distant objects. And because the zoom is optical, there's limited image degradation. Also, Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. helps prevent blurring - typically a big concern when shooting with a zoom. This combination of optical zoom and Advanced O.I.S. gives you the ability to take fantastic zoom shots. You get all the beauty and minimal blurring. There's nothing more disappointing than shooting a once-in-a-lifetime event on video, only to discover that the images are blurry or poorly exposed because of backlighting. Panasonic's iA helps avoid problems in difficult shooting situations by automatically making the optimal camera settings and activating certain functions. For example, iA now includes AF Tracking, a new function that "locks" on and follows a subject as it moves, so images are sharply focused and properly exposed. This technology is a huge help for everyone. HD images contain 6 times as much information as standard images. HDTV has 1,080 horizontal scan lines, SDTV has 480. That translates into much higher resolution and much finer detail. With HD images on an HDTV, pictures are so clear and sharp that you can see textures. The shift in the industry from SDTV to HDTV is well underway. For shooting once-in-a-lifetime scenes that you want to capture in full beauty, the Panasonic HDCTM20 camcorder is the best choice.

 "I regret buying this thing." 2009-11-14
By mgchris (Texas)
The sound is poor. The speakers pick up all of the background noise but not much of the subjects it's supposed to pick up. Microphone scuff sounds are very common, even though I take care to keep my fingers away from the microphone.

Video is fairly good but only in the brightest light conditions. With indoor lighting the video has washed out colors and poor resolution. The only thing that's high definition is the huge file size. Motion is pretty choppy. Panning or filming moving subjects produces motion problems. The camera performs at its best when filming objects that are perfectly still or move like a snail.

Still photos are terrible. They are about as bad as cell phone photos.

The software is very limited and not intuitive. I hope I can find a 3rd party editor that is compatible with Panasonic's AVCHD.

The menu system is good. The touch screen works well. It's easy to select & play back videos. If the camera recorded video & audio quality matched the camera's appearance and interface, I'd be pleased. Unfortunately, the video & audio quality is so poor that I am Very disappointed with my purchase.

I would advise a friend to avoid this video camera. A cheap pocket camera that also takes video could do better than the Panasonic HDC-TM20K.

 "Really pleased!" 2009-10-21

This is the first camcorder I have bought in many years, and I am really pleased with it; especially since I was able to get it from Amazon for only $306. My last camcorder was the old VHS-C, so the internal and flash memory is fantastic! It's very easy to use and seems perfect for a novice, like myself, for capturing the family memories. All and all I am please and have no remorse for this purchase.



The only minor complaint I have is that I went the "Free Saver" shipping Amazon offers. It was not delivered by the day they stated and when I called they couldn't tell me exactly where it was other than it had left their building. I was told if it wasn't delivered like 10 days after the anticipated date that I could call back and they would reship another one overnight. Next time I will likely pay a little more for a faster service.
