...I think this is a terrific camera - very lightweight and compact for having a 12x optical zoom. The perfect camera for the point & shoot photographer - not so if you prefer manual settings because there are just a few. But if you plan to shoot video and then export it to your PC/Mac, you'll need to ante up another $130 for the AC adapter (Panasonic DMW-AC5 AC Adapter for Panasonic Lumix® Digital Cameras) AND the Multi Conversion adapter (Panasonic DMW-MCA1 @ $49.95) - YOU MUST PURCHASE BOTH. Without these items, the battery will run out before the video transfer is complete. You can view the video direct to TV using an HDMI mini cable (Tripp Lite Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable (6 feet)). One star off due to the high price of accessories...
