I think the one I have is a panasonic but not positive. But it does have a feature that I think most come with now, its kind of like a stabilizer in the camera so if you are a little shaky while recording it absorbs it. I don't think it works that great but it does have it. One thing I do enjoy about the camera is it has a harddrive int he camera that all the video is stored on and you just download it to your computer. The wife says its easy. My sister-in-law has one that records directly onto a cd, by the cd's are expensive which is why we did not buy one like that. I don't remeber how much we paid for it though, I think it was around $300 maybe a little more.
