Advantages: Easy to use and very very cheap
Disadvantages: no lens cover and no built in light

...This is the new Panasonic NV GS230. This is an incredibly versitile little camera and at the price is very affordable. This is a very easy camera to use and its functions are very easy to understand although they are quite basic but if your like me and don't want hundreds and thousands of little buttons flashing at you it is perfect. Now before you ask i know this is a mini dv camera so i know its not the most recent in camera technology but i really ...
...unless your filming for amateur films or something i really cant see the need to spend that much more when mini dv is perfectly acceptable in fact is more than adequate and is excellent value for money. For stills this camera offers 2.3 mega pixels not brilliant but if you want good stills use your digital camara!! its not what its built for. The camara also offers SD storage for that extra memory space which i personally find very useful. One ... Read review

Advantages: Ease of use, ability to do the job
Disadvantages: no headphone socket or mic input

I am a professional film maker. most times I shoot with Canon XM2 cameras. The tech spec of this interested me, its seems the money gone into the camera spec, not the frills. Ease of use is a big plus, easy to hold steady with both hands and the zoom..well superb. A brilliant all rounder and cheap enough to buy two which I did. Ebay offers them at around £130 and compared to other cameras in that range there is little competion. Picture quality is ...
...the sound, here it could be better, but hey a piece of dense foam infront of the mic makes a big difference, i can live with that. As a first and only camera you could make a film for Tv no problem, as a second/third cam on a shoot, I challenge you to spot the difference on most occasions between this and a camera 10x the price!

Advantages: Great image, great sound, lightweight and easy to use
Disadvantages: ummmm.......

...i went to purchase the Panasonic NVGS27B camcorder from Argos which was 189.99, but when i got home i noticed it was the NVGS60EB-S. I don't think theres any difference except maybe an upgraded model number, so just in case you go to buy the NVGS27B, don't worry. Anyway who cares about the model number, this camcorder is more than what i expected...a lot more!! Deciding what budget camcorder to buy was just a nightmare and i was strongly pulled ...
...some excellent reviews about this Panasonic marvel. I can truly say this camcorder is awesome and for the small price i paid it was an absolute bargain. Considering about 4 years ago i paid £1000 for a JVC GR-DX100 DV camcorder which is still a great little machine, the Panasonic is just as good, IF NOT better in some ways! The first thing you notice is the LCD display is excellent. The focus is fast and precise, and so far have not experienced ... Read review

Advantages: Small, light, 30 x optical zoom, good battery
Disadvantages: Can be awkward to use, no firewire cable

...best price/zoom combination was the Panasonic NV-GS37, which, as it was the display model, had a discount. I paid, and took it home to prepare the camcorder for the next day. The first thing that surprised me was the size of it, and I wondered how the tape could possibly fit into the camcorder. It slides in horizontally on the right hand side, under the grip belt, which, awkwardly, has to be moved out of the way. The next thing was the size of the ...
...had plenty of power to record the whole of the game's action (55 min stop/start) but had sufficient power to rewind, and then replay the unedited tape. The 30 x optical zoom was amazing, far better than the previous camcorder. However, the 1000 x digital zoom is pointless. The controls are easy to use, with the play/pause button operated by the right hand thumb, and the zoom operated by right hand index finger. The still facility (photo shot), is ... Read review

Advantages: Hard drive, zoom, good quality lens, great screen, night mode
Disadvantages: only 3 mega pixels

...through dropping the camera, however, Sony have added a G sensor which knows when the Camera is falling, so the hard disk drive can protect itself to ensure that your videos are kept safe. This camera also has a lovely 2.7 inch touch screen, which makes going through menus a breeze. There are other features such as the external microphone, photo mode, and a great 120x digital zoom. I bought this when HD camcorders were first arriving onto the market. ... Read review
