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...

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 GS75

Embarrassingly Unfashionable

Advantages: Very affordable, reasonably high quality
Disadvantages: Not very attractive, poor battery-life

...What is the mark of a great digital video-camera? Since discovering the Panasonic NV GS320 last week, I have been slaving over this question, pondering and musing, desperately trying to seek a definitive answer. Is it astounding quality, or diversity of features; is it value for money, or incredible good looks? I have all of these things. But the Panasonic NV GS320 does not. On paper, it is a fantastic video-camera; indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed using it. It offers a variety of useful features, boasts remarkably high quality for the extremely reasonable price tag, and even my beautiful fiancée managed to understand how to use it. But it is an ugly beast ? a tragic and unrivalled fashion disaster. It is wide and chunky, poorly proportioned, and incredibly embarrassing to hold. As someone who takes enormous pride in my gadgets, I knew I...

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...

Review of Panasonic NV DS29B

Bought mine very cheap and was blown away

Advantages: Small, cheap, reliable, easy to use, good results, firewire port.
Disadvantages: No tilt on the viewfinder, photographs are rubbish

...I have recently been dragged kicking into the digital age and have been roped in to taking video/photos at local events for my wife (she works for a local paper) So last year we visited 3 local music festivals and a couple of town based festivals taking video footage with a variety of digital cameras, the results were OK but limited a little in quality and sound. Enter the Panasonic NV GS55, as everyone is now buying Hard Drive recorders and DVD based recorders Mini DV camcorders are available at prices ranging from £30 upwards. So my little camcorder cost me £40 and came with a case, a couple of tapes and the remote control for the camcorder, all in very very good condition and working beautifully. Now this camera is tiny, its really rally compact and feels comfortable in a one hand grip. The controls are pretty much standard...
