Wonderful camera- very flexableI've owned this camera for almost 4 years now, and paramour it. Never had a problem with it. It's a very flexible camera capable of taking decent still photos and matchless video quality. The 3ccd allows great color processing, and the big LCD display makes it easy to see what's going on in filming or playback. Freestyle lasts a VERY long time with the LCD screen closed.
Master digital Recorder on market
Very uncomplicated to use and perfect for my honeymoon vacation because of its compact size. We are very happy with this win.
Mount cooked, need help
Hi,
The capacitor on my stallion seems to have burst from a power surge. I'm looking for a new charger for the GS400 and I understand somewhere that it uses the PV-DAC13 KIT.
Does anyone here know about this and any pointers to locating its whereabouts on the net might be considerate.
So far I've tried a lot of websites and in most places it's out of stock. I'm trying to figure if I'm looking for the without hesitating thing in the first place.
Thanks in advance.
Win out over Choice by FAR!!
If you're looking for a reasonably little camera of so-so quality, this is not it. But if you want crisp, clear, vibrant photos, mind-boggling videos, and a solid camera you can rely on, this is the one you've been searching for!
I shopped and compared for a Sustained time before finally choosing this camera, and I am SOOO glad I did!! My friends and household all have the smaller, cheaper camcorders, and yes, I looked at those too. But this one, with 3CCD and 12x OZ beats them all, hands down. The pictures are handsome - the zoom is awesome - and the video is the best! The controls are easy to find and use, and there are many options to decide from. The LCD is large and clear, and it turns in different directions so is great for viewing from other angles (like from in front of the camera!). The recondite control is indispensable, not only for recording or taking shots, but also for playing back the videos on TV.
I would greatly recommend getting an accessory kit like the one I purchased from Digital Innovations. The tripod alone is a must-have, and all the lenses etc. are loving terrible add-ons. You can view it here: http://www.digitalinnovationsny.com/items/item.aspx?itemid=2764945
I'm not a pro' at digital cameras by any means. This is absolutely my first one! But I've compared my shots and videos to those by other, more experienced users (with cheaper cams) and mine are so much preferably that those people ask ME to take pix and videos FOR them to get the higher quality!!
And because I'm a "newbie" I can tell you that it does take a short time to read the book and learn how to use the camera, but all the main functions are VERY plain - even for me!
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars because the GS400 easily deserves twice that. I be acquainted with it's a little expensive, but if I had a quarter for every time I've said, "I LOVE this camera!" it would have paid for itself by now! lol
Bind Transport Problem no more!
About a month ago, fair much the entire tape transport problem disappeared. Check out the strap transport forum listing at Pana3ccduser.com. I got mine on April fools day and it is the foremost camcorder ever. Picture quality is amazing, on par with any camcorder up to around $2000. The 16:9 style is better than most camcorders under $2500 and the Procinema mode is also a great gratuity. The LCD is very bright. 4 way ring works great as well. I agree with camcorderinfo.com that's it's the subdue value in a camcorder ever made.
