The H80 does have a few design shortcomings worth mentioning, though. Inside the LCD cavity is where you'll find the SD/SDHC card slot for additional video or photo storage and an AV out. The last one is particularly handy because you'll want to shut OIS off when the H80's on a tripod. This includes buttons for accessing manual controls, turning on Panasonic's Intelligent Auto (iA) mode, and enabling the optical image stabilization (OIS). If you dread going into menus to make adjustments, Panasonic dots the H80 with several buttons for quickly changing between shooting options. Flipping out the LCD exposes a five-way joystick and Menu button on the left side of the screen.
There's a Power/Mode dial at the top back for selecting whether you want to record movies or still photos or play them back. Controls are pretty typical for this type of camcorder and nothing is so horribly positioned to make using the H80 uncomfortable (though the Record button is a touch too close to the battery).
