Panasonic PV-DV200 Camcorder Review - Panasonic MiniDV Camcorders

 

The PV-DV200 is a lower end model of Panasonic's MiniDV line. It is effectively the PV-DV100, with additional features that make it much more attractive. It has an MSRP of $999, which is inexpensive for a MiniDV format camcorder. With the standard...

PV-DV200D no frills camcorder

 

The Panasonic PV-DV200D was purchased because of previous experience with the brand, and the ranking the camcorder got in the consumer reports magazine. There was also a $100 rebate at the time, which made it an excellent bargain. The MiniDV tape media...

My first DV Camera, goes to the web

 

This is the first video camera I personally shelled out money for and my first DV camera I have ever used (except for the really expensive 3CCD chip system a well-off friend has).

Point-and-shoot ease

Point-and-shoot limitations. Battery life not good.

Excellent Video Camera, not so good for stills

 

I purchased this camera hoping to use it for both video and stills. I haven't seen a rating, but I believe it is equal to about a .5 million mega pixel digital still camera. This doesn't produce very good stills, especially in low light. I've purchased...

Light weight, good video picture, Fire Wire port

Poor still picture quality.

Panasonic PV-DV200 Digital Camcorder - A great Digital Palm Corder for the Beginner or Expert

 

I purchased the Panasonic PV-DV200 some 9 months ago, and I've been extremely pleased with its performance thus far.

Excellent Video Quality, a multitude of features. Light weight and relatively easy to use

Poor low-light color capture. Somewhat cryptic menu system.

Great digital camcorder for the price

 

For me this camcorder was a good value when comparing to other brands in it's price range. This is a solid digital camera for the money.

Good value compared to other manufacturers models with similar features

awkward menu button placement, battery life

Good digital camcorder

 

I bought this camcorder before the birth of my first child this year. I planned to buy a cheap 8mm but traded up after seeing the difference in picture quality and feeling the difference in size.

Picture quality, value for money

Average durability
