Panasonic NV-GS400 review

 

This Panny 'corder can shoot stills at a resolution of 4-megapixels, which makes it a match for a still camera

Panasonic NV-GS400B test and review

 

Panasonic's NV-GS400B looks to be an appealing package, but is it good enough to steal the Sony DCR-TRV950's mantle as the best low-cost, semi-pro three-chip camcorder?

Although the NV-GS400B isn't as aggressively priced as its stable mates, and costs more than Sony's HC1000, it delivers a lot for the money. The range of manual features is impressive even compared to Canon's XM2, and you'd have to push towards £2,000...

SimplyDV Review: Panasonic NV-GS400 DV Camcorder

 

Superb pictures, great handling, good optical zoom, lots of manual functionality and a nice big LCD screen that you can see!

Upward-facing mic, 600x digital zoom superfluous

It's a great camcorder for the more serious user looking for excellent 3CCD pictures, manual functionality and - let's be honest - a bigger camcorder that has big buttons and stability

Panasonic NV-GS400

 

The Panasonic NV-GS400 offers outstanding value in a camcorder for the discriminating consumer.

Smart design and excellent manual controls ; Great three-chip imagery and 16:9 performance ; Solid optical zoom and stabiliser ; Big LCD

Not the smallest camera ; Mediocre low-light and still-image performance ; Not great as a point-and-shoot

Panasonic NV-GS400

 

I have owned The Nvgs 400 for a couple of years now and I think it is excelent. I only use it in auto mode and although it is nice to have a camera with all the manual controls it is good to just switch on and know that it will take excellent movies...

superb colour ,very sharp movies,nice size for holding. battery life good

None worth mentioning really
