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: 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: 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

Advantages: Excellent video
Disadvantages: No stabilisation in widescreen

The Panasonic 180 is the "entry level" 3CCD camcorder from Panasonic. I bought mine from Currys at just under £300. For me, picture quality is the one essential that a camcorder must deliver, and the Panasonic 3CCD cameras deliver tjhis in spades. The pictures you can get from the cheapest in the range are every bit as satisfying as those from all but the very top, "pro-am", camera at several hundred pounds more. Having set up a cinema system at ...
...wife bought me the Panasonic 180 as a birthday gift, and I have to say it is a revelation. The "3CCD" imaging system is a true leap forward in home video photography. With one capture device for each of the three primary colours, the definition is greatly improved. Perhaps It is not quite up to DVD or broadcast standard, but it does not fall far short. But the really amazing thing is the totally life-like colour rendition. Overall, the imaging is ... Read review

Advantages: Small, lightweight, east to use, strong and sturdy

...Brief Description ******************* The JVC Everio GZ-MG26EY is a very compact little hard drive camcorder with a 20GB hard disk, 32x optical zoom, widescreen, LCD display and many other features I will go into later. It fits nicely into a small shoulder bag and can be carried around quite comfortably ready to shoot if needs be. It feels very nice when strapped in to your hand and all basic fuctions are easily accessible with the one hand holding ...
...******************* You get the JVC camera, a audio video lead to connect to a television, a charger and battery and a remote control which comes in handy. Also a lens cap and hand strap. You do not get a bag or holder of any kind so you will need to purchase one of these seperately. You also get a set of very easy to follow instructions. Lcd Screen ************* This is a 2.7" widescreen for filming with and for playback if required, it will ... Read review
