Panasonic PV-GS320

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 13:29:31 PDT

As Panasonic's top MiniDV camcorder, and the company's only tape-based standard-definition 3CCD model, you'd be right to expect a lot from the PV-GS320. You'd also most likely be happy with this camcorder, as long as you're not expecting prosumer-level controls. Advanced consumers, who tinker with manual controls, such as shutter speed and iris, should appreciate the image-quality perks that come along with this camera's three CCD chips. Nitpickers will note that Panasonic doesn't include a built-in video light or a flash for photos, though most built-in video lights aren't powerful enough anyway.
