Panasonic NV-GS180

Advantages: Best value for money QUALITY Video + Great Price = Value
Disadvantages: Software is not the best out there. But you can use windows movie maker easyly

...The Panasonic NV-GS180... Having a 3CCD camcorder is the best thing in the camcorder world. 3CCD is the technology used in news/TV cameras to give you that crystal clear cut video!!! And i must say, this camera is the best i have seen around, for the price as well as the quality. It has plenty of functions to fiddle around with, but the end all is that the video quality is fantastic and i reccomend anyone starting off from making their own home videos, to videoing as a hobby (Youtube), this is the best camera you can use. Its the best value for money as its not expensive at all compared to other 3CCD cameras which range to £1000 and more easyly! Panasonic have been able to cut the costs down due to the fact that it uses DV cassettes. Which are more reliable in terms of not getting damaged that easyly. The software (pinnacle...

Panasonic NV GS17

Advantages: Zooming in feature, size, functions
Disadvantages: So far, none

..., of which can be twisted in a 360 degrees angle from the centre (where connected). As i have only occupied one of these for a month, i have found no problems or faults with this awesome piece of equipment. I have used it many times. No batteries are to be changed, all you do is simply place the battery on a charger and leave it for a few hours, and click it back on the the cam corder. - its 'simple, easy and fast!' With regards to the ease of button operation, they are right next to your hand when holding it. Basically, you press a little button to display various things on the screen, such as fast forward, rewind, play, stop, etc. To access these, you then push the button towards the appropriate function required by yourself. In general, this cam corder is an excellent product made by panasonic (as always), and enables you to carry...

Panasonic nv-gs11b

Advantages: Great Quality
Disadvantages: Poor Battery Life

...I am reviewing my new video camera - A panasonic NV GS11B - An excellent camera for personal use, Made in Japan I am using this camera to video a fictional crime scene - an assignment. And having never using a video camera before i was dreading even touching it incase i done something wrong. The Packaging before i purchased my camera I read through the packaging to find out all the features which were included, and i personally really liked how the packaging was layed out. It was not cluttered with text and pictures, everything was well layed out and structured. A Blue & White background with black and white text. A picture of the camera was also there and a list of accessories. Looking at the packaging, made me feel confident and wanting to puchase IT. Packaging that is cluttered with text, no one will want to read it...

The Panasonic NV DS29B - What Its Like.

Advantages: Good Average Weight, Very Simple To Use.
Disadvantages: Menus Quite Hard To Navigate.

...good use. You can probably find a good deal for this from Jessops, which is where I got the one I use. It is now possible to buy it from many places with prices ranging from about £250-£400 pounds. However I may be wrong so please correct me if you think I am. Overall I think that the Panasonic NV DS29B is a very good camcorder. The only let downs are the weight, navigating the menus and it could include DV in. However, not everyone may have a use for this. I give it a Very Good and 4 out of 5 star rating. I thank you for taking time to read this and I hope that it has been of some use to you. Many Thanks. ********************************** ADEEM NISAR (adzemaster) **********************************...

Panasonic NV GS75. 3ccd Clarity

Advantages: Clear, sharp clutter free footage, chunky, easy to use
Disadvantages: No DV in - Mic socket not standard.

...I always have chosen Sony in the past for the family camcorder as they have never let me down. I just sold my Sony HC18 ( I never keep Technology for too long - move on!). I wanted a 3ccd camera to see just how much better they are. Whats all the fuss about? I was pleasently suprised. For the same money as a 1 chip Sony I got a 3 chip and what a difference! On the new large LCD TV it was amazing. The GS75 gave an almost "news at 10" clarity. Colours were vibrant and edge to edge sharp. The Camera is light and chunky at the same time. A good size for my large hands. The joystick menu controls took me 10 minutes to master and the little screen was good to view close to the eye. It has a DV out - direct to the laptop and a MIC, Headphone and AV socket. (careful here - the Mic does not have the standard Jack) SVHS out is there too. Not many...

Review of Panasonic NV GS250

A LITTLE GEM OF A CAMCORDER...

Advantages: Small, great sound and picture, extra features
Disadvantages: mmm... no cables 4 computer/ shaky

...I feel honoured to be the first person to review this wonderful little machine. I bought this camcorder for £385.00 from www.askdirect.co.uk (which is a brilliant company). The box arrived, and i was bitterly disappointed. It was a tiny box, by no means capable of fitting a camcorder in. They had sent me the wrong thing. Or had they? To my amazement after opening the package there lay a beautiful machine, the panasonic NV-GS1B. As you may have guessed this camcorder is tiny, it fits into the palm of the hand. After owning a camera which you had to rest on your shoulder because it was so large, it made a wonderful change. To film you only need one hand, the buttons are so cleverly set out. Your thumb records, your index finger zooms. No problems there. Panasonic made this product not only sellable, but also usable. The designing...

Review of Panasonic NV GS1B

Value for money camcorder

Advantages: Easy to use but with fantastic results.
Disadvantages: Add-ons not available yet as camera is relatively new.

...Having not owned a camcorder before I decided that now was the time jump into the market, I was looking for a resonably priced digital camcorder that would also take still pictures (to kill two birds with one stone so I did not need to buy a seperate digital camera). After looking round on the internet and collating all the technical specifications and prices the best value for money product appeared to the Panasonic NV DS55B, I wanted a good quality mid range digital camcorder, but without going into the upper range which has numerous extra facilities which generally don't really get used. One other criteria was that it was reasonably small and compact. 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...

Review of Panasonic NV DS55

Panasonic NV GS40B

Advantages: Simple to use, excellent features for the price, brilliant digital camera
Disadvantages: Night time vision could be better

...This is the first camcorder I have bought for myself after using many different makes and models through college projects and work projects, and it outshines the other camcorders, all of which are well know brands. The quickstart mechanism it fantastic if you need almost instant recording 1.4 secs and you are ready to roll. The MPEG 4 recording of sound and video is amazing crystal clear image and sound that I can play back through my computer or tv with the cables provided. The inbuilt digital camera is super the pictures are so lifelike. The functions within the camcorder like wind noise reduction is great as I found out recently when on holidays and I was filming by the sea. The ability to record in widescreen is a great feature. The picture in picture is also interesting. The software that comes with the camcorder is basic but does...

Review of Panasonic NV GS40B

By far the best 'normal' priced camcorder around

Advantages: Awesome video quality; superb camera for amateur moviemakers.
Disadvantages: Charger design 'flaw'; below-par stills; no pro audio sockets.

...When you're looking to spend this sort of money on a camcorder, research is important. There are several glowing reviews of this camera on the web, and this one is a good place to start :) I have been using this video camera for over five months and it is truly superb. It has been used to make short films, shoot holiday footage, record music recitals and take photographs. It was PC Pro's best semi-professional camcorder for many months. This, the NVGS400 is the European version and identical to the British NVGS400B model, I was told by a Panasonic salesman. I, too, found no differences in the specifications and it was at least £100 cheaper than I could find the 'B' model for online and £550 lower than Panasonic's UK list price! Just the UK warranty is missing, but you can register online for a warranty anyway. The box includes UK, US...
