Contrast is great, saturation, color accuracy, due to the 3 CCD's.Now what I don't like: resolution spec for stills is misleading. It's not true pixel resolution, as the pixels are interpolated across the 2.3 megapixel spec.Still, this is t

Strengths: Color is produced in expected manner with 3xccds, even though they're 1/6 compared to gs500 1/4, can't tell any drop in quality. made in Japan!- super smooth with OIS. Audio is also suprisingly good. Weaknesses: Can't think of mu

This is the first camcorder I have ever owned and I am very happy with it. I am not that savvy when it comes to photography and hence for now I have kept the camcorder on "auto" mode and in so doing I am impressed with the colors/clarity of the
I bought this camera after looking at several others and must admit the price-point for the features was a key selling point.We don't do as much videotaping as we did when the kids were younger, but with two in sports we're doing more and more a
Love being able to take picture while filming, very rich crisp video and vivid beautiful realistic color.
Got this for $480. There is no new camcorder on this planet and at this price which can give you better quality.The 3CCD capture colors and detail like nothing in this price range. I've compared this to the Sony DVD403 camcorder and the GS300 is ligh
I bought this camcorder after extensive research; others I considered were the Canon Elura 100 and the Sony HC46. I was looking for a camera that would do well in indoor situations. The Elura 100 had good reviews but several complaints about motor noise;
I did alot of research on digital camcorders before purchsing this camera and I decided to go with this one because it was just sounded so great. The similar Sony models seemed to have extra blue colors in the video quality while this Panasonic model has
This is something good at the good price. Espesially that optical image stabilizer and 3ccd. This camera beats many more expensive cameras in the picture quality
Great Camcorder
I spent countless hours researching camcorders before deciding to order this one, and it has lived up to 100% of my expectations. A major requirement was that the camcorder have a microphone jack so that I could narrate garden and nature tours "in re
This is my first camcorder so maybe the title for the review is misleading but given the 4.5 star rating I'm guessing I'm on the mark. Originally looked at a DVD based system but after reading probably every review on the web (ask my wife), I op
This is my first camcorder purchase. I bought it to take videos of my vaction in the Orient. After doing much research on camcorders, I decided to buy this one and I'm glad I did. The video quality is very good and I like in particular the image stab
Item was shipped quickly and arrived on time. The camera was just as described. New, in box.
A little noiseSun light images are excellent Indoors need good ilumination
Incredible pictures and easy to use. I don't really care for the safety on the power switch but that didn't detract from the excellence of the camera.
This is my first camcorder, therefore I can't really compare to previous experiences. Regardless I really like this product, it's is relevantly small, very easy to control and the manus are pretty easy to manipulate. I haven't done any outd
I bought this for my trip to India. It i so simple to use and the joystick feature for the umns is a breeze to get a hang of. I did not like the idea of having to touch the screen to do everything with the Sony's. I wanted the Canon Elura 100 but the
Strengths: Ease of use combined with excellent good color and low light capture. Image stabilization was a must for me as was the 10x optical zoom. The 3.1 mega pixel still photo feature was an added bonus. Weaknesses: some may have wanted the analog to d
Strengths: easy to operate Weaknesses: Manual not well written Summary: I like the joystick a lot. Operation is easy. The on-screen prompts make it easy to use.
Strengths: Have both video and picture taken mode, which is fit with my purpose. Quality of those features is above average, I would say excellence in video recording. Long last battery (about 2 hours for me). Weaknesses: It's kind of small (I got bi

I bought this camcorder after returning a Cannon Elura 100 for motor noise. The Panasonic PV-GS300 is virtually silent and you can't hear the motor noise during playback on the computer or TV. The camcorder has good sound and video quality. The indoo
I just received the PV GS300 and like what I have seen so far. The picture quality is beutiful outdoors and the low light quality isn't as bad as I read. One thing I do not like is the joystick. It is sooo tiny it is difficult to use. I have to use m
I've only had this camera for a few days, but I am quite pleased with it.Before buying this camera, however, take a look at what else is out there. This camera sits in a very strange place between consumer cameras and pro level (or at least prosumer)
I purchased the PV-GS300 several months ago and have been using it to create a educational video, and it works great. Images are good and sharp, good color too. The ability to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 ratio is very handy! Still photos at 16:9 are sharp
Has just about everything I could ask for except for audio-out. The camera's small size suggests it was designed to be "on-the-go" but it's also good for the studio. I just wish I didn't have to do my sound check with only the bui
I bought this one aorund 2 months back. Overall it is good, and the clarity is good. Little bit noise in lowlight indoors ( with backlight on..it is OK). And it is very easy to handle, only the zoon button should be somewhere on top...it is kept to handle
When shopping for a camcorder, you have to realize that at this price point there are going to be compromises. According to all the reviews, this is one of the best at this level. I've had it for about a month now, and I can't imagine that there
Overall not bad. Motion is good and like most motion cameras, stills are poor, but that's why I have my other cameras. Image quality is good. Shoots well under indoor conditions. Autofocus is good. microphone does well. Joystick menu interface is dif
Bought this camcorder for christmas to film my little baby boy. I send dvds to my relatives who live far away and they love the picture quality. All of my friends who own camcorders agree the picure is very sharp. The camcorder is easy to use and comes wi
