A review of the new Panasonic HDC-SD5EG-K, a digital camcorder. SUMMARY: 1) DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT 2) APPEARANCE 3) DURABILITY 4) RECORDING 5) LENS 6) DISPLAY 7) FEATURES 8) ACCESSORIES 9) OVERALL DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT: This camera is the world's smallest 3CCD High Definition Camcorder, and it's also extremely light, weighing in at less than most of its competitors at 340g. APPEARANCE: Disappointing. It's just a regular, black camcorder design - only small. ...
...was pleased to find that Panasonic don't stint on accessories, and the following are included: AC adaptor; AC cable; DC cable; Battery Pack (rechargeable), PC, video and AV cables; IR Remote. The whole thing was sensibly packaged. OVERALL: A great camera, especially good for the cameraman (or woman) who really wants not to BEGIN filming, but to improve the quality and consistency of their film images. My one absolute warning is on PRICE. If you decide ... Read review

Advantages: Very affordable, reasonably high quality
Disadvantages: Not very attractive, poor battery-life

...digital video-camera? Since discovering the Panasonic NV GS320 last week, I have been slaving over this question, pondering and musing, desperately trying to seek a definitive answer. Is it astounding quality, or diversity of features; is it value for money, or incredible good looks? I have all of these things. But the Panasonic NV GS320 does not. On paper, it is a fantastic video-camera; indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed using it. It offers a variety ...
...The primary function of the Panasonic NV GS320 is, unsurprisingly, to record videos. As we have seen, it performs well here, delivering high quality movies with fantastic colour. Given its effectiveness with colours, the NV GS320 is especially good for filming outdoors. So whether you’re out on a stroll at sunset, or having a picnic on the grass, this video-camera is perfect for capturing the moment. Furthermore, the camera also serves to capture ... Read review

...30GB memory and made by panasonic I thought I was dreaming.

Advantages: Good Value Product
Disadvantages: Not many

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. After using this product for a few months ... Read review

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
