Panasonic NV-GS230

 

Great camera , nice and compact. The image quality is amazing with colours represented accurately and pin sharp..The software for downloading the videos from the camera is easy to use and works well.

The camera does prefer good light as images can be a bit grainy in low light. The battery that the camera is supplied with only last for about an hour.

This is my first camcorder. I really like the camera, and getting a 3CCD camera for this price is fantastic! Image quality is great. A friend, who used to teach at film school was also very impressed with the image. Menus are largely intuitive and easy...

I would love to have manual focus on a focus ring rather then thru the menus - I would have more precise control. 10x optical zoom is low from this price range - most competitors have 15x to 45x, and as I do birdwatching a higher zoom would have been...

It's small, light and very easy to use once you've mastered the instructions. The pictures are clear, the sound superb. An ideal travelling companion as it doesn't take up much baggage allowance!

very lightweight, with lots of good features.

The standard battery that comes with the camera has a very short life span. The wind reducation function is also very poor.
