Just my 2p worth,I made the mistake of buying a Panasonic camcorder thinking it would be a good upgrade to my Sony hx10v compact,bad mistake missed slipping it my jeans pocket and the video was poor on the camcorder and dire pic quality.

The sensor is tiny, so I would expect the image to be quite grainy unless lighting is excellent.

Is this better than using an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy?

I've got this and to be honest it's not the best quality picture. Hot for the price though as mine cost me more

Sounds like the picture quality is worse than a typical smart phone, but you get a large zoom range.

No Wifi . Really annoying how so many camcorders have no port for external microphone.
Would appreciate if anyone has experience of this :
