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...

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...

Panasonic DMR HS2EBS

Advantages: records onto DVD and Hard Drive, stores photos, timeslip
Disadvantages: Only 40GB Hard Drive

...record what's happening right now. So in effect, you've simply slipped time 10 minutes backwards. You're watching a recording of EastEnders but EasterEnders is still being recorded whilst you watch it!!. With this functionality you can rewind and fast forward willy-nilly whilst recording continues and not miss a thing. Now Sky+ allows you to do this so what's the big deal. Well the big deal is that Sky+ costs an initial amount of money to purchase in the first place and then there's a £10 subscription per month for the privilege of using it. Doesn't seem fair does it?. £120 per year just to be able to use their hard drive. Complete rip off. Well with these Hard Disk recorders you get the Sky+ functionality but with a built in DVD Player/Recorder. The DVD Player has two modes of operations; DVD or HD. The first plays DVD...

Review of Panasonic DMRHS2

THE PANASONIC WONDER.

Advantages: GOOD PICTURE QUALITY WITH WIDE RANGE OF FEATURES.
Disadvantages: MIGHT BE EXPENSIVE TO SOME.

...This is quite a fabulous digital camera made by Panasonic one of the leaders in electronic products. The camera suites all your desired events you need to record include occasions like marriages, life music band and other recode able events. I bought this for these listed reasons above. The Panasonic camera device has wide range of features and that makes it very marvelous to use. It has very competent zoom lens camera or rather adjustable lens to your desired views. The Panasonic SDR-S7REB-K comes in black shiny looks and that is quite attractive and makes it more beautiful. Camcorder usage has really evolved to compare to the previous days I used to see those old camcorders that had limited and poor image quality. Panasonic has done an excellent work by provided sophisticated SD card. To really get the beauty of what the device is...

Review of Panasonic SDR-S7EB-K

Panasonic SDR-S7

Advantages: Size, weight, robustness
Disadvantages: Price, rather light!

...ranges, which I liked, I lighted upon the Panasonic. Both the size and weight (or lack of both, if you follow me) struck me all of a heap. The thing is about the same bulk as a couple of large Swan-Vestas matchboxes placed side-by-side, and typically weighs less than my wallet. With a nice streamlined body it drops into a pocket with ease, which is actually something of a danger, but we'll come to that in a moment. At least I can forget my wrists. This particular model, it must be emphasised, is not high definition. I wasn't interested in HD for two reasons: we don't need it for family shots and, as a rock-bottom minimum, HD doubles the price. It also produces planet-sized files, and frankly I have better things to do than wait ages while the things load, are edited, and then rendered, quite apart from all the other upgrades necessary...

Review of Panasonic SDR-S7EB-K

Making bad photographers into good ones!

Advantages: Well built, easy and fun to use.
Disadvantages: None.

...As a model I spend most of my time in front of a camera and I have therefore never owned a good one of my own. Recently I decided to put this right, I did not go crazy and buy a big DSLR like the pros shoot me with but I did spend decent money on a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62EB-R which was recommended to me by thebigc1690 (a guy on here who knows a thing or two about cameras and is also one of my photographers. Now my review for this camera will be in no way technical, simply because I would make a fool of myself if I tried to go into how all the settings work, I just know that they do. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62EB-R has a ten megapixel sensor which means you get very high quality and very clear and detailed images and it also has a 4 x optical zoom so you can get a bit closer to what you are shooting without actually getting closer...

THE VISIONARY PANASONIC DVDLV50EBS

Advantages: Compact Dimensions/Price/Great Picture and Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Speaker Sound Quality

...---Overview--- Panasonic is by far one of my favourite electronic companies now and after purchasing this item it has reinforced that argument even further. Having to travel a lot on public transport over long distances can get a bit of a bore, some read a book others exhust the papers while a few gaze out of the window. Now Panasonic have managed to brighten up my life by giving me the escapism I need when travelling from dull location to another, I present the long-winded Panasonic DVDLV50EBS. ---Price--- Compared to a lot of other portable DVD's on the market this is relatively cheap clocking in at around £400 and some stores throw in a couple of free DVD's too! ---Sound/Picture Quality--- There is very little to grumble about the picture quality, the 5" display is very crisp however it could do with some a bit more...

Review of Panasonic DVD-LV 50

Nice one Panasonic!

Advantages: Great recorder with good clean looks
Disadvantages: Being rapidly overtaken by DVD recorders

...If you need a VCR then be quick as they'll not be around for much longer. DVD recorders are quickly replacing them. In fact I recently bought a DVD recorder myself! So why did I also buy one of these? Very simple. I've got lots of tapes with home movies and all my favourite films I've recorded off the telly over many years. So I still want to view them. In my time I've bought quite a few VCR's both cheap and not so cheap. Some of them were less than impressive, others simply dreadful. However I'm glad to report that the Panasonic NVHV61EBS has turned out to be a real winner. So what does this recorder offer? Well for a start it has a good quality silver finish, which is very popular at the moment. It has two Scart connectors so you can get your recordings to your TV with minimum loss. In addition it has the usual remote, black...
