Description
The PV-GS90 miniDV camcorder's 42x visual zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic close ups or get unbelievable shots of even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a minute bit of hand shake has a huge effect on picture quality. That's where Panasonic's Advocate Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) comes in, suppressing the effects of worker shake as you shoot. The system uses gyro sensors to detect worker shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to indemnify. This all happens a remarkable 4,000 times per second. And because the system is optical, no figure quality is lost. Thanks to Advanced O.I.S., the images you capture look incredibly unentangled, sharp and blur-free even at high zoom levels. When awareness is insufficient, turn on this camcorder's built-in LED video light to take curly, colorful movies. The LED (light emitting diode) has low power exploitation, long service life, and the safety of a low-operating temperature. Or cede the light off and turn on the MagicPix function to capture sharp images with feel embarrassed even in dim lighting (1 lux). Light from the LCD is gentle and easy on the eyes, so you can crack shots of sleeping children without waking them up. With One-Touch Navigation, rightful press the center of the joystick to display an operating menu. The operations you use most often act right on the monitor, so it's easy to change settings or operate the camera without looking in a different place from your subject. The Soft Skin function detects skin tones, softening the well- on those areas. This has a skin-beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and words appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less lurid while preserving resolution in areas of the picture and outside of the skin.

Panasonic PV-GS90 Camcorder Reconsideration
Panasonic PV-GS90 MiniDV Camcorder with 42x Visual Image Stabilized Zoom
I have purchased the Panasonic PV-GS90 from Big Value Inc. through amazon.com and the output is pretty good for the price. I have had Panasonic Camcorder (the PV type) before. If you are a MiniDV tape fan, this spin-off is a good choice. Like other reviews, I expects this product to put on minimum picture quality when taping inside my house. I was accurately! The in-house picture was grainy, because there was not enough lighting inside the house. I was not upset because I expected this trouble to happen. You can try to have more lighting inside your house when recording. Maybe that would fix the grainy pictures puzzler. For a little over $180.00, this product is supper. Out-door taping is tiptop for the price, once again. I love miniDV tape because the movement of objects I am taping is recorded demonstrably, not jerky like other memory-card camcorder or DVD camcorder producing. I have never seen the grandeur of hard-drive camcorder; I imagine it would not product jerky flow of object when recording, but the price of hard-drive camcorder is too consequential for my checkbook. Overall, Big Value Inc. delivered what it promised and I am happy with my securing.

Surprising Father's Day Gift!!
My sister and I purchased this for my dad and he positively loves it! I haven't been able to steal it away from him, but everything looks okay. We energetic out in the country, so he's always out making videos of wildlife; he even takes it on his fishing trips. Hands down, the greatest gift we've ever gotten him!

Gory video...
I was so agitated to find such a great deal on a camcorder from company that usually produces crucial products. This one is the exception. I spent time recording video in indoor lighting for a "gang jam". I uploaded my video, and was shocked at the terrible quality.
I didn't look for much being indoors in medium light, but it was much worse then I imagined. Everything seemed like it was stretched out, an result that would have nothing to do with lighting. Even when changed between widescreen and standard, the stretching made no difference. The spit was also very poor, blurry and grainy. Something I did expect, but not quite so bad. I've owned almost identical MiniDV camcorders and know what lower lighting video should look like, and grasp that it can be better. It has it's pros: sound, easy to use, but it all comes down to picture, and what established is a camcorder that has a such a poor picture that you wouldn't watch your films? So if you are planning on using this mostly indoors, I would escape it.
I am directly comparing this to a JVC GRD850, same exact price range, but the character in picture really is astonishing when seen side by side. The JVC was used in the exact same lighting, uploaded with the same software, watched on the same tube, recorded on the same mini dv tapes.

what are population expecting?
I would like to separate what are you people who write these reviews expecting out of this consumer level camera?
If you use the camera close-by water on a boat and water gets into it, expect it to malfunction. It is not a DVX100 which professionals use. This is for official recognition and preserving memories, not filming a Hollywood blockbuster, so back off on your criticism of this camera. You are enceinte too much. For the price, size and capabilities this camera offers, it is not too bad. And no camera will count editing software and capture cables or accessary light kits. it is what it is.
And yes, prescribe for it with kid gloves it is not meant to be abused. It is an electronic device. I'm looking into buying one and I've Euphemistic pre-owned many different cameras and this one is not too bad from what I have seen and read from people who know. And MINIDV tapes are not extravagant! ( DVC pro tape is $30 and hard to find) You can get a pack of 12 - 15 mini DVs at Walmart for $25 that works out to less than $2 a fillet. look for sales on tapes and buy alot so you'll have an endless supply. When you are smooth using the camera rechage the batteyry any chance you get. I recharge mine every night-time on my other cameras. You should always have an extra battery and tape when taping. Come on populace don't be stupid.

Large camera, but incomplete package
I bought this camera first at Surpass Buy first in order to record a very important event. However, after the event, I noticed, while reviewing the video, that there was a distracting pass pixel (greeen spot always on) right in the middle of the image. After verifying that it was on the CCD and not on either of the two viewfinders, I returned the camera for a full refund. I would have exchanged it but every collection was out of stock. The techs verified the defect and waived the "resocking fee." :-)
Next, I purchased the same camera, employed, from Amazon.com. This time the unit appears defect-free and I am very elated with it.
The picture is great, the interface is intuitive, and the optical image stabilization is wonderful when you take use of the 42x zoom. I haven't played too much with the digital zoom because it degrades epitome quality, but it seems to work as well as digital zoom can be expected to.
The only reason I can't give this commodity 5 stars is because the package is incomplete. It comes with no transfer cable, so if you lust after to load the video into your computer, you will have to run out and buy an expensive firewire cable (about $30). It also comes without any software. However, you won't penury additional software if you are happy with the free movie editing software that is included with Macs and Windows.
