With greatest satisfaction camcorder I ever hadDiscriminate is great, saturation, color accuracy, due to the 3 CCD's.
Now what I don't like: resolution spec for stills is misleading. It's not true pixel judgement, as the pixels are interpolated across the 2.3 megapixel spec.
Still, this is the only camcorder in the miniDV relations I've seen that offered the ability to shoot virtually uncompressed via Firewire relevant to a computer.
The low light is not very good, though. Very small CCD's =GRAIN. The size of each of the three CCD sensors is only 1/6". But at least there are three of them. One of the most trendy camcorders in the PV-GS series for Panasonic in 2006. This is the camera that put me on the map.
Dazzling Price for a Japanese 3CCD DV Camcorder
Paid well under $600 after shipping and protection't discovered all of its features but it is a lot of camera for the money. Some of the controls are typically Japanese - content they are sometimes obscure and the controls themselves are made for rather small fingers/hands. Overall, the camera is unimportant, takes marvelous video (given adequate light). Most 3CCD cameras seem to insist a bit more light to look good than the std. single CCD cameras. Wish it could scoot video in 1080i but oh well...
No 3.1Mpixel
Unbiased the camera is 3.1 Mpixel and I have a Nokia N70 mobilephone with the same quality painting, but the 1Mpixel camecorder are very nice. Dont buy these camecorder for the camera, and the battery-operated durantion are very good.
Famed camera
I bought this for my blunder to India. It i so simple to use and the joystick feature for the umns is a breeze to get a endure of. I did not like the idea of having to touch the screen to do everything with the Sony's. I wanted the Canon Elura 100 but the stance of a noisy camera turned me off.
Like the other guy said, buy the tapes online because they are costly in the store.
Gargantuan Camcorder
Bought this camcorder for christmas to film over my little baby boy. I send dvds to my relatives who live far to a different place and they love the picture quality. All of my friends who own camcorders agree the picure is very stylish. The camcorder is easy to use and comes with everything you need to get going except minidv tapes. Buy these with your online hold because they are too expensive in stores. The only complaint I have would be the low light recording quality. It is only customarily(all camcorders are bad in low light). The camera does have a low light feature, but it produces tracers and ghosting with sybaritically moving objects. The camera does have full manual control that will purloin with the image, but you need to learn camera jargon and take time to settle before the shot. You can buy a mountable light to put on the camera, but they are not cheap. If you want a camera with genuine low light features, buy a sony. I'm am very pleased with this camera and would recomend it to a moll who does not shoot at night.
