Panasonic NV DS60

Advantages: Very compact and nifty, lots of interesting buttons
Disadvantages: Tends to get a dodgy picture when first switched on

I've enjoyed using this camera, it fits in my handbag and I can use it in the dark, back-to-front, while holding a baby. It has lots of fun features which you don't use that often but when you do it looks really professional, and most of all it is small and unobstrusive and you don't feel like a tourist using it. The stripes when you first switch it on go away after a few seconds and don't show up when you play back, but it's a bit annoying. I don't ...
...have been told to only use it in SP, but in this case why does it have LP at all? I don't believe the heads could be dirty after a month. But that is more a complaint with my individual camera and the repairs department.

Advantages: easy to use ,good battery life
Disadvantages: No scart lead supplied

Having never had a digital camcorder before i was a bit bemused by the number of different models out there.Having checked a few web reviews and visiting several high steet stores i chose the nvds60 mainly because of it,s size and price (£450) including starter pack with extended life battery.

So this one was great to use and the couler lcd screen was great and can be turned round so you can film yourself. i have filmed several childrens birthday parties with it and even my 5 year old son has got the hang of it . I would ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: uses lots of battery power

This camcorder is extremely easy to use but the quality isn’t too good. it is perfect for filming weddings, birthdays etc but nothing more pro. The night view isn’t too good either. Image stabilizer, optical zoom, DV Out, AV Output, built in light everything is excellent. Small size is an advantage. it is perfect to take on holiday with you etc. there is also digital still shot mode. These are the features for this camcorder 1/6"800,000 pixel CCD ...
