Panasonic PV-DV100 Camcorder Review - Panasonic MiniDV Camcorders

 

THE PV-DV100 is a low quality Panasonic MiniDV model. It has an MSRP of $899, which is inexpensive for a MiniDV format camcorder. The camcorder has the standard IEEE1394 FireWire editing protocol that transfers your footage to a computer for digital...

...but golly it's CHEAP!

 

Price. 18X Optical Zoom. 49mm Lens Thread. Movable Viewfinder. Quick Tape Change.

Not the best but Good for the Price

 

I got a deal on mine and only paid 720cdn (tax in) or about 460 US (includes taxes! or $400 before taxes). It's so cheap as they are clearing the old model for the newer DV101. Definitely not worth paying the extra for the DV101. It has a few more...

Price, Price Price. Good clarity in bright light. Compactness. Easy to use.

poor in lo light - stills & camcorder. Only 7 LUX. Jog button is overused

The DV100 and I became acquainted just a few months ago, with the purpose of creating short skits for my church. I've used it for two complete skits thus far, and also for my own personal amusement. As the bottom end of the Panasonic Digital line, it...

Great camera for the money.

EIS detracts from quality of picture.

A great inexpensive mini DV!

 

If you are struggling with the decision to buy a mini DV versus a Hi-8, I suggest you take a look at the features and price of this great camcorder.

Inexpensive, great sound quality, 5-mode autoexposure

A little bulky, 100X digital zoom is worthless (as it is on all camcorders)
