I bought this camera for weddings and to do tutorial videos on YouTube. The camera is, according to my small experience, very amazing in low-light. I don't know, I think it’s a big camera body-wise but it's still great.
Ag ac 160 is nice and easy to use , good for wedding, love it, very good camera for the price
Are you shooting on a DSLR? If so you'll love this package. All the extra goodies are really stuff you'd use for a DSLR. The camera bag is a Vivitar bag. The tripod is wayyy too weak for holding the AG-AC160. You would actually put your camera in jeopardy if you put it on this tripod!
This beautiful camera is to me the pinnacle of "handheld" HD cameras for the event videographer (I quote "handheld" cause it's a bit hefty for long handholding). After years of prosumer HD cameras that never quite lived up to the promise of 1080p resolution, this generation of Panasonics nails it...
Excellent video camera for the money.The images are extremely sharp and produces great results in low light which was very pleasing as l mainly shoot inside buildings where the light is not all that great.l have not got a bad word to say about this camcorder and l am very pleased with it.
How many years warranty from panasonic ? is this made in china or japan ? panasonic dont give any warranty made in china

I am happy with product ordered and definitely plan to continue shopping at Big Value as I like the Kit offered. But to bring to your attention the Full Size Tripod received is broken and there was a leak in lens cleaning bottle which leaked on everything in starter package and the table top tripod...
The camera is from China, so no warranty from Panasonic, but the camera is great and the package is a great deal.
I love this camera. Every time I pull it out of the bag, which is every day because I'm a news videographer, I feel good. Another opportunity to record great video. I had the AG-AC130 (and loved it) but decided to spring for the 160A when it came out. So far I've shot everything in 1080 60p.
