Panasonic Palmcorder Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD -...Strengths: Good Quality Video and Audio, Usefull wind reduction feature, loads tapes from the top. Weakness: Almost too small, viewfinder not very flexible, hard to manually adjust focus and white balance. This Panasonic camera is very good for a consumer camera. The video quality is very good and the camera has lots of usefull extra features. The buttons and ports are well laid out and it is easy to use. It's small size makes it very portable, but also awkward at times. The remote control is handy and it has all the ports you need to make professional looking home videos on DVD or VHS. It has very...

Panasonic Palmcorder Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD -...Strengths: Same 3CCD technology used in Panasonic professional broadcast equipment, top-loaded mini-DV tape's clamshell, joystick that makes the camera easier to use, very light and easy to hold and balance. Weakness: The color viewfinder no longer rotates vertically. It’s really too bad that they removed this feature, because it makes shooting through the viewfinder much more difficult. I bought this a week ago, but on first use it sure is a sweet package. Very light and easy to hold and balance. Very good video. The GS65, with its 3CCD Camera System, reproduces color in great fidelity by using a separate CCD for reds, greens and blues. It's the same 3CCD technology used in Panasonic professional broadcast equipment, resulting in 540 lines of resolution. You can count on 3CCD...

Great buy! PV-GS65 MiniDV Digital CamcorderStrengths: Very clear, great resolution. Easy to use even for entry-level users. The size is perfect, not too big, and not too small that it is hard to shoot with one hand comfortably. Best in its price range. Weakness: Haven't seen any so far. This is the best thing you can have, 3 CCDs for the price of 1. This is truly a great buy! My husband and I are both first-time users of digital camcorders, and started shopping and found this great model. We checked it out in a local store and compared it with some other Sony models (which, at that time, was one of the others we were considering). But nothing can compare to the 3CCD feature! The picures are really clear! Low light performance is also great,...

GS75 - Straight out of the box and firing from all...Strengths: Ease of use; crisp and vibrant colour; quiet operation (including zoom); compact size; almost sexy! A joy to use; joy stock control beats buttons and touch screens! Weakness: The manual is a bit busy for easy quick reference but...(read comments). So far nothing to make me clap my hands to my face. I bought the Panasonic GS75 (1.7megapixel) model yesterday. Having read many reviews with negative comments prior to my purchase on bad user manual and instructions, I was pleasantly surprised how my 16yr old daughter got it recording and playing back within minutes of it being out of the box (after battery charging of course). By that afternoon we had it playing back on TV and transferring .avi...

Great product and good priceStrengths: 3 CCD provide great pictures. Very good price. Weakness: Viewfinder does not tilt up; lack of software I want to buy a 3CCD camcorder. According my budget, this one is the only one. I did a lot of research about DV camcorder. The reviews for this one is very good. And it is very impressive for the low light recording on this camera for it's price range.

Panasonic PV-GS65Strengths: Easy to handle, manual controls, 3ccd Weakness: Night mode, Zoom, Some menu options aren't conveniently located. I read as many reviews as possible and chose this camcorder because it received excellent marks. I returned a Sony to purchase this because of the touchscreen and docking station, both which I thought were inconvenient. However, the night mode on the Sony is much better as the Sony uses an infrared light to capture video. Night mode on this camcorder is useless. I also expected much greater...

not for the noviceStrengths: light in weight,very good color in non hazy conditions and fairly good at 16 lux low light. Weakness: noisy zoom,very slow fader,poor battery life,very poor clarity in hot,hazy and glare conditions,lousy instruction manual hard to see not much difference between auto and manual settings. After extensive reading of camcorder reviews,visits to the camcorder stores,it was down to Sony or Panasonic.I liked the idea of a 3CCD camcorder and the fair price of the Panasonic.I did read an excellent review of the PV.GS65. So far I'm not very happy with the PV-GS65. Let me say right away that I am a rookie camcorder operator and this is my first camera. I bought it for vacations and general...

Quick Review Camcorder : Panasonic PV-GS65
Panasonic’s PV-GS65 holds the honor of the most affordable 3 CCD camcorder currently on the market. By trimming back on some features found on the higher-end PV-GS150, such as the Leica Dicomar lens and the imaging specs, Panasonic was able to drop the price and still produce a quality camcorder. But is it an even smarter buy to step down to the PV-GS35? Let’s take a look. Top

Panasonic PV-GS65 Camcorder Review
Panasonic’s new PV-GS65 breaks the under $600 barrier, making it the lowest-priced 3 CCD Panasonic camcorder ever. It is equipped with the same imagers found on last year’s PV-GS120, but has some upgrades from last year’s model, including a new menu system, better navigational control, and a more stream-lined body that is easy operate with one hand. Panasonic has taken off the “Leica”... TopAdvertisement

Panasonic Palmcorder Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD -...
Strengths: Price for feature set can't be beat; Excellent video (3 CCDs!!!); Very nice low light capability; Mic input; S-video output; Nice quality stills for a camcorder
Weakness: No built in light; Viewfinder only slides back and does not tilt up; LCD has to be flipped out to put in manual focus mode; Menu system is a little strange; No supplied software
I did a LOT of research before deciding on this camcorder. For less $500, this camcorder is the best bang for the buck. A few people who aren't very technically inclined or as thrifty as I am have asked me why I didn't go with a camcorder which records to "the little DVDs" like all the Sony HandyCams do. Those are fine for people without computers or who don't want to edit their videos. I...
