Advantages: Great image, great sound, lightweight and easy to use Disadvantages: ummmm.......
...i went to purchase the Panasonic NVGS27B camcorder from Argos which was 189.99, but when i got home i noticed it was the NVGS60EB-S.
I don't think theres any difference except maybe an upgraded model number, so just in case you go to buy the NVGS27B, don't worry.
Anyway who cares about the model number, this camcorder is more than what i expected...a lot more!!
Deciding what budget camcorder to buy was just a nightmare and i was strongly pulled ... ...some excellent reviews about this Panasonic marvel.
I can truly say this camcorder is awesome and for the small price i paid it was an absolute bargain.
Considering about 4 years ago i paid £1000 for a JVC GR-DX100 DV camcorder which is still a great little machine, the Panasonic is just as good, IF NOT better in some ways!
The first thing you notice is the LCD display is excellent. The focus is fast and precise, and so far have not experienced ...

...from the electrical store. The Panasonic NV GS60 has several quirky top of the range features and functions that make it stand head and shoulders above other leading brands available and with a price ticket that can only be considered reasonable at £179 it gives you everything without breaking the bank.
With a lens that has the most powerful zoom available today the video camera has lock on and magnify an object in the distance making it perfectly ... ...colour and image reproduction with a reasonable price ticket makes this the only video camera I have and intend to have for the foreseeable future. If you try and find fault with anything about the Panasonic NV GS60 you could quite possibly go mad in the process, it is flawless. ...

Advantages: Ease of use, ability to do the job Disadvantages: no headphone socket or mic input
I am a professional film maker. most times I shoot with Canon XM2 cameras. The tech spec of this interested me, its seems the money gone into the camera spec, not the frills. Ease of use is a big plus, easy to hold steady with both hands and the zoom..well superb. A brilliant all rounder and cheap enough to buy two which I did. Ebay offers them at around £130 and compared to other cameras in that range there is little competion. Picture quality is ... ...the sound, here it could be better, but hey a piece of dense foam infront of the mic makes a big difference, i can live with that. As a first and only camera you could make a film for Tv no problem, as a second/third cam on a shoot, I challenge you to spot the difference on most occasions between this and a camera 10x the price! Buy it. www.LAURENCEHOGGPRODUCTIONS.co.uk ...

Advantages: Good Zoom, easy to use, good picture Disadvantages: Didn't include DV cable, uses battery charge fast
I have owned the NV GS60 for over a year now and I am still happy with its performance. It hasn't broke or stopped working at all ever. It has a good 30x zoom. It came with 6 tapes to record on and i bought it off Amazon for £114 pounds. It has a 2 inch Lcd optional screen or you can use it the normal way.
It isn't hard to operate and i found easy to use, within a few days i was recording, editing and using clips on the internet! It was a shame ... ...buy that seperately. Mine came with a Television cable but dissapointingly not with a DV cable which is neccesary to connect to your laptop or PC. The battery doesn't take long to charge and after an hour it's about done. But it used the battery charge pretty fast so i had to charge it again. Also it's a bit of a fumble putting the battery in the camcorder.
I was going to buy a tripod but didn't bother as i had already started filming. My whole ...
