The NV DS55B appeared to fit the bill so off I went and purchased one. The camera came in a very comprehensive package, with all the additional cables you could ever need ... ...with additional software and cable for transferring the still shots from tape or card to the PC. The instruction booklet again was comprehensive and very simple, individual steps were accompanied by useful diagrams and each step took up half a page making it very straightforward to pick up the basics and then move onto the more complex functions.

...camera. When we found the Panasonic NV DS55B we were in luck! It is compact and comfortable to use. We are not impulse buyers and spent many weeks looking, trying, picking the brains of sales staff, borrowing various camcorders from people to try them out, reading Which magazine reports etc. Welove this camcorder and have been using it for three years now.

Advantages: Small, compact and easy to use. Disadvantages: Unreliable and faulty
When we first got this camera I loved it. It's really easy to use, the zoom is great on it, and it's easy enough to link to the pc for recording still images and videos. It has some great features including sepia recording. The battery life is fairly good compared with previous camcorders used.
