Manufacturer's product description

Panasonic's wide range of e.cam models with SD memory card gives you ways to enjoy all facets of video making, from taking the shots to editing the pictures to sharing the fun. DS38 is designed for high-performance digital video and easy networking. Packed with Panasonic's advanced digital video technology, the compact DS38 gives you top picture quality, easy operation and exciting e.cam performance. Progressive Photoshot gives you beautiful still images with 1.5 times the normal resolution whilst Super Image Stabilizer compensates for hand shake to ensure smooth, jitter-free shots. 0-lux Nightview and motion sensor mean that you can record even when it is too dark to see, and the motion sensor automatically captures moving objects. In the DS38 the stereo zoom microphone is linked with the operation of the zoom lens so that even distant sounds are recorded faithfully and the Smart Wind-Cut function reduces wind noise to produce high-quality, true-to-life audio recording. Just slide an SD memory card into the DS38's slot and you're ready to store images, which can then be uploaded to your PC and then attached to an e-mail, posted to a website or used in countless other ways. The DS38 also offers DV input and output terminals to expand your creative options.

Panasonic NV-DS8B
Review of Panasonic NV-DS8b by Stefan

Advantages: Good quality, lots of functions, easy to use
Disadvantages: No scart converter, price variances.

...I have recently purchased a Mini DV camcorder model number NV-DS8b. On the whole I am very pleased with the picture quality and ease of use. One major downside was the lack of a scart converter with the camcorder, something that Sony provide with all camcorders. This was difficult to find at an electrical retailer and without it you are unable to payback on most moder TV's. When I contacted Panasonic they were extremely uninterested in my comments. It is also worth shopping around as the price varied by a much as £100 with the big retailers giving the worse deals.... Read review

Great pictures, Great Buy!
Review of Panasonic NV-DCF7E by Garza007

Advantages: Good quality
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

...I was recently looking for a digital camera, now I have found it, the Panasonic NV-DCF7E is the perfect digital camera. I uses a 8 mb memory card which can be removed and you can insert another one and carry on taking photos. This digital camera simply connects to your pc via a serial interface and all you have to do is upload your photos from the camera onto your hard-drive. The Panasonic NV-DCF7E has a 1..8" TFT LCD monitor which is perfect to view existing photos on your memory card. This camera is fairly small, 118 mm x 66 mm x 52 mm and it is very light, approx. 370 g. There's room for two CompactFlash cards at the same time in the Panasonic NV-DFC7E. The 1.3 megapixel camera can take still pictures.... Read review
