"Good camera, too bad quicktime and no AA batteries"
Pros: Large easy to see display, good picture quality and great stablization
Cons: Uses propriotory batteries and records videos in quicktime
Summary: This truly would have been a great camera if it had been allowed to use recahargable AA batteries rather than an expensive Panasonic battery.
I really wish Panasonice would use some video format that you could actually do something with after it is recorded. This camera as all Panasonics records in Quicktime, which leaves you with buying Quicktime Pro as your only real option to edit any videos that you might shoot with the camera. I would much have preferred that it used even uncompressed avi files or some other format other than an Apple product.
All in all this is an enjoyable camera to use and takes easy good pictures. Panasonic does have the best image stablization going and this camera shines as a result.

Google VLC media player, it can play almost any video or audio format. It is free.
Look for video converters /editors, you should be able to find something.
