Quality on a Panasonic HD camcorder is bad

Question

I bought a new Panasonic HD camcorder with and 8G memory card. I paid $800 and the quality is really bad. My old camcorder which is over 20 years old is a LOT better. For HD the quality sucks. Am I doing something wrong? Should I return it? What do you recomand for a real good quality, tapeless camcorder. Thanks.

Answer 1

Maybe the quality setting is not on best?

SONY is really good.

(but i haven't tried an HD Sony)
