Incredible colors at a very affordable price!

 

Intro I have been in the market for a mid-range, but high-quality video camera for some time now. The cameras I was looking at the most were the Sony DCR-TRV70 (street price*: $800), the Canon Optura Xi (street price*: $975), the Panasonic ...

3CCDs means awesome color! Very affordable. Nice included accessories

Poor low light performance. Relatively low-res CCDs (occasional jaggies in video, poor still quality)

2nd Update. An upturn in developments

 

Update #2: Although I've been frustrated by the manual, and the Panasonic website, they do deserve full credit for a prompt and clear reply to my request for assistance in downloading footage from the camera. Since I've been vocal in criticizing them, ...

Multi-function [PUSH] dial, zoom microphone, tiny powerful battery, lots of user-controlled settings

Hair-trigger zoom control, poor user's manual, awkward lens cap, extra parts needed for downloading footage

Panasonic Palmcorder® PV-GS70 Mini DV Camcorder

3CCD design produces vibrant colors, easy to use, excellent picture quality for the price

Slight green emphasis, low-light performance could be better

Hollywood hopefuls would love it, but otherwise... (UPDATED)

 

For months I researched my options for an affordable, portable video camera. I was looking for something that would shoot decent video, take digital stills and be small enough to carry around with me most of the time. This led me to consider models...
