Try to give a link to the camcorder and if you can find the camcorder on bhphotovideo.com and post that link. I am looking at around $500-900.

this is the camcorder page on panasonic's web page.
personally i don't like panasonic and id go for sony but your choice.
it really depends what you want the camera for. if you want to take pictures and videos of memories that you wont want to edit much or preferable at all then you should definately go for a minidisc camcorder or a dvd camcorder (they are the same except one has a standard size dvd and one has a minidisc) they have pretty much no difference except the actual camera can be smaller if you get a minidisc one. ok so if you want to edit your footage then id get a harddrive one. the reason for this is the discs in most of those cameras are too advanced for stndard editing programs (ive got one) and that makes EXTREMELY hard to find a program to edit with. but i do prefer the disc cameras and have found a program to edit them which i can give you the name of if you would like. also a little tip if you are looking at getting a disc one. if you are shotting takes on something turn the camera off between each one (im not sure if this is panasonicbut a lot do this). otherwise all the stopped and started takes go in one folder and that doesnt sit well with most editing programs where as if they are in different files then they are far easier to handle and to get the one you actually want rather than having them all run after one another without a break.
if you click the type of camera you want on this page then you will get many examples in your price range.
good luck and email me if you need help with something

Answer
Users are having trouble with Panasonic as much as they're having trouble with other brands. I'm able to solve most of these problems; most often, they deal with not having the right cable or hookup. Your problem is one of these. If you get the right cable and hookup, you're going to love this thing. Trust me.
I LOVE the Panasonic camcorders I work with. I use the PV-GS65 at home, it renders colors beautifully, and there are no problems using it with our computers. My old school bought a whole bunch of Panasonic camcorders with no problems. My old school's TV organization bought a Panasonic AG-HVX200 at my recommendation. GREAT machine!!!
Step by step, how are you plugging it into your computer? What kind of computer? What cables? What software? I should definitely be able to help you out! Just add a detail onto your question, and I'll add some more to my answer.
EDIT: I saw your other question, and answered it fully. You DON'T NEED TO RETURN YOUR CAMCORDER! No matter what DV camcorder you buy, you're probably going to need to get your computer to work with Firewire (if it doesn't already!). This is not only for Panasonic camcorders. It can be Canon, JVC, Sony, you name it. If you're working with DV, Firewire is the best way to go (it's often the only way to go!). So, read my answer to your other question, and it should solve your issue. If it doesn't, let me know.
