If you're a parent in today's 21st century technologically advanced world, then chances are you have – or are looking to purchase – a video camcoder to help capture all the glorious moments of parenthood.

Double your image resolution without HD

Pros Double the image quality of 1CCD camcorders
Cons Still-image capture is half the quality of Digital Cameras
Recommended it? Yes

INTRODUCTION
The Panasonic PV-GS300 (GS300) is a member of one of the four new waves of camcorders that are trying (and in my case succeeding) to replace Standard Definition camcorders (which have been around for many, many years) without having to move to an HD camcorder.

The four... Read full review »

Great picture and features from a 3-CCD camera

byfsafadi May 25, 2007
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great image quality, best low-light performance. Small, light, Wide-screen recording
Cons Confusing menus, mediocre still pictures
Recommended it? Yes

Looking around for a new family camcorder, there was no shortage of choices. The first thing that caught my attention was the introduction of a few hi-def camcorders. But with prices hovering around the $1000, it was way above budget, and the limited options of computer editing software for hi-def... Read full review »

Lots of features for the money

Pros 3.1 Megapixel still camera and 3CCD technology make for great video and quality still...
Cons Doesn't come with a starter tape or camera case.
Recommended it? Yes

3CCD technology produces a nice picture. I took the time to read lots of tech reviews prior to purchasing. I was looking for a reasonably priced model with a great picture and a high megapixel digital still camera.

USB and standard component cables included for off loading the video and... Read full review »

VERY good camcorder and I have compared them

bykharin Apr 24, 2007
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros light, clear, bright, simple to use, and vg video
Cons the dumb joystick is a pain , low light a little strained
Recommended it? Yes

at first when I saw the video on the lcd I was not really imprressed and my only hope was to enjoy the video I got on the computer. Other camcorders I sort of thought was sharper on the lcd level sooo what . After seeing the video in big screen I now know why the Leica lens is so good. The video... Read full review »

Good hardware, horrible manual and software

byaltos1234 Mar 13, 2006
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Actual camera functionality
Cons Documentation and software
Recommended it? No

The camera appears to work well. It is easy to handle and power consumption is not excessive. The joystick menu access is easy. OIS works well.

The manual is a joke. Panasonic needs to take a lesson from Minolta or Sony (or just about anyone). It is confusing, inaccurate, insufficient and... Read full review »

Best DV-camcorder to date (in most consumers' price-range).

byRasGold Aug 31, 2006

Pros Clear images, abundance of features, and long battery life.
Cons Reading the owner's manual can be very helpful. (Not really a 'con')
Recommended it? Yes

As a professional videographer, I find the Panasonic DV-GS300 to far outshine any in it's class and price range. Compact, with an amazing 2 1/2 hour battery life, this camcorder (when used to its full capacity) brings amazing life to most any home video. Proper use of any digital equipment is a...

Pros compact size, weight, digital camera, widescreen LCD, ease of use, many features
Cons Depending on the size of your hands, it can feel a little awkward.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera several weeks ago and just started using it. I did not buy if for the digital camera as I already own a Sony. I decided to compare the digital camera quality on my Sony and this Panasonic mini dv camcorder. I was amazed!! This camera actually took a better quality picture!! I... Read full review »

Dew Detected

Pros hmm...real shiny
Cons uh, well it doesn't work.
Recommended it? No

I had this camera out of the box for about 10 seconds before it was rendered useless by the ubiquitous 'dew detected' error. I am going to attempt a return but living overseas makes it difficult (it was sent to me as a gift). After reading others accounts of this same problem I don't hold out much... Read full review »
