I bought a Lumix DMC-ZS35, the DMC-FZ38 can record HD movie of 720P in AVCHD Lite. And a stereo microphone, featuring Dolby Digital Stereo Creator, records high quality audio. It is very easy to use. And I used it captured many funny videos in my daily important time. A friend of mine asked me to edit these videos so that they can share my funny videos.
