Image quality

 

Panasonic PV-GS65

Excellent color reproduction; strong low-light performance; long battery life.

No analog input; only 10X optical zoom; noisy zoom switch.

With solid video quality and low-light performance, the Panasonic PV-GS65 gives you the confidence to shoot in a variety of conditions without fear of noisy-looking, washed-out footage.

Expert Review

 

Panasonic's PV-GS65 holds the honor of the most affordable 3 CCD camcorder currently on the market. By trimming back on some features found on the higher-end PV-GS150, such as the Leica Dicomar lens and the imaging specs, Panasonic was able to drop the...

Quick review of Panasonic Palmcorder Multicam PV-GS65

 

In this picture, there is remote for the camera. But, when I use this camera, its seems not easy to operate with remotes. The only one very good function is just zoom.But its good if we wanna make own video, and you include in that video.

Good budget 3CCD camera

 

We have owned this unit for 3 days now, got it from a credit card promo. It's a relatively old model, having been released in 2005, yet the compact size and 3CCD alone amaze me. This is our first camcorder, but we've had prior experience with the Sony ...

Small size- 3CCDs- Good manual control- Top-loading tape mechanism

A Great Price for a 3CCD Camcorder

 

We had a baby born in August, and a camcorder seemed like a must have so I began looking into a good quality camcorder which would produce good quality images indoors. I am very happy with the indoor images and find the images very sharp when used ...

Indoor picture, Battery Power, Quality built product

Zoom: needs wider angle and some may wish more zoom power

Consumer review (epinions.com)

packs a lot of punch for it's size and price

 

How do you build a quality digital camcorder that is palm-sized and sells for $500? I believe Panasonic has answered this question quite well. Let's talk about the details: Tape mechanism: It's exceptional. It loads and ejects the tape with a ...

great build quality, layout and performance for $500
