The Panasonic NV DS29B - What Its Like.

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

...understand. The main two difficulties I found with the camera was navigating the cameras menus and remembering which cables go where when connecting it to the television. When going thorough the menus you use the vertical scrolling wheel that is also be pressed to select. Unless you press it properly you may turn the wheel as well, this can get very annoying indeed! However, overall it is fairly easy to use. I would say that the durability on this camera is very good but to make it like this Panasonic have also had to add weight. However, it is has an average weight, which is good for average time filming. If you do wish to make longer movies, e.g. 15+ minutes, I would recommend buying a tripod. I would say that the Panasonic NV DS29B has a very good range and quality of features for the average Joe. Some of this includes screen effects like...

NV-DS27 - Advanced camera at low price

Advantages: Small, versatile, relatively easy to use.
Disadvantages: Less computer compatibility for editing, etc. Small buttons.

...Pansonic's NV-DS27 has been released for a while now, and in some countries has been replaced by the DS30 and DS50 cameras. At the Lincoln High School Music Dept., the NV-DS27 has had some very thorough testing. It is one of the two cameras owned by the department, and are used frequently for filming of music concerts, assessments and other events. I was one of the technicians using the camera. The DS27 is a very versatile camera. It has all the features needed for home use, including 400x Digital Zoom, 2.5" Color LCD monitor, zoom mic, 0 lux night shot, image stabilizer, and color viewfinder. It also has digital effects options, as well as being able to take stillshots onto the SD Memory card. It is very compact. Its small size was a drawback for professional use; when needing to use different options quickly, the buttons are...

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-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-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...

DS Delight

Advantages: too many to list
Disadvantages: none that ive seen so far

... How I Discovered It I knew about the DS like most other people, through word of mouth. I never had the desire to buy one until the beginning of 2008 when for some strange reason I set my heart on getting one. I think it was because I had seen the adverts for brain training on the tv a lot at this point, they were on almost every day. Then I played on my friends step-mums DS and that was it, my mind was made up, I had to have a DS, all I had to do was figure out how I was ever going to afford one. Price and Availability The DS Lite on it's own is generally £99.95 on it's own in most shops, obviously on some online shops/auction sites you can find it cheaper, but generally the cheapest I've seen it sell for is around £50. It usually works out cheaper to buy the DS as part of a bundle that includes one or more games...

DS Pink

Advantages: Fun for all the family
Disadvantages: None

...My daughter had been asking me for a pink DS for months since she had seen her friend playing on one, so I said to myself that I must get her one for Christmas. I bought mine early enough, I didn't realise they were going to be so hard to get hold of over the xmas period. Well it was what she wanted so I told all the family what she wanted. What you receive when you buy the DS is: 1 Spare Stylo, a charger,obviously the DS lite itself. You also get a manual. The DS has two screens which is quite cool really and DS actually stands for Dual Screen. The DS's arelightweight and measures about 10cm by about 5cm and is about 2cm in depth. The DS comes in a variety of colours from white, pink, black, silver. I have also noticed a few red and blue ones on ebay. There are so many games that are available. I have we have only got...

DS Lite!

Advantages: Fun, easy to use, great features, great games!
Disadvantages: Once you pick it up its hard to put down

...I own 2 DS Lites, my son has one and my partner does, they come in a great range of colours Black,White,Pink and the newer Blue. The touch screen on them is great, it makes the games so much more fun and with games like super mario you get mini games that all use the touch screen and they are great fun. As for the size of it well i carnt complain its small quite slim and light! hence the name. As for the age recomended on these my son has had one since last christmas and at the time he was 3! and after about a day learnt how to use it better than me lol. some games can be akward for smaller children but the likes of super mario, mario kart, shrek,cars ect are great for them. Its also very durable my son has dropped his on tiled floor, sat on it and god knows what else and its fine, its also very easy to keep clean. From...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Panasonic lives up to its name again

Advantages: Build quality, reliability, size, performance
Disadvantages: non really, it is what it is for the price, a point and shoot camcorder with brilliant imaging

...I researched this purchase a lot before buying as I wanted the best image quality for the money. I have always been a fan of Panasonics equipment and have about six Panasonic items in the house. All of these purchases have been researched using sites like this and Which magazine. Panasonic always seem to come out best as they did with this camcorder. I liked the size (although they are even smaller now 2 0r 3 years on!) and the flip out lcd screen is kinda cool but I don't use much because it drains the battery that bit faster and I have seen clearer screens on different makes. That is prehaps the only downside to me. It has an easy to use menu system for setting the camcorder up to tour own specific settings like Widescreen mode if you have a widescreen TV. It has Program modes which I suppose would be useful but I tend...

DS - Cool Toy!

Advantages: Small and Fun
Disadvantages: The Colour is white!

...What a fun little gadget. It's small but lovely. Its just what you expect from Nintendo. It's very small, but the screen is very clear to see. Its very easy to use, so it a good little tool to keep the kids quite for a little while. The DS, has been out a while now, so there are plenty of games for it, which range from around a fiver to about £25. Its also touch screen which makes this little thing a bit more entertaining. The price for these little bad boys is relatively good value for money, so if you have an extra bit of cash lying around and you feel that your a bit bored, then I would recommend that you get one of these little toys to keep you entertain for hours on end. Another good feature to the DS is that you can also use GameBoy Advance games too. They slot in at the bottom. You can get GBA games from about...
