With an MSRP of $499.99, Panasonic's PV-GS15 hits a bit under the midpoint the manufacturer's PV-GS line as far as price and quality go. It's a very decent camcorder for the money, but you have to be the right user. For your hard-earned dollar,...

PV GS15 Don't buy for digital pictures

 

We debated over whether to purchase a camcorder that also took digital stills. I had read in some tech magazine that you cannot get good quality of both, unless you spend big bucks. Well, we choose not to spend big bucks, but we did analyze the mega ...
