Review written on Jul 18, 2007
This was our first video camera and we bought it for a trip to Alaska. We were very happy with the results. If you use the basic "automatic" controls the camera has a short learning curve; more advanced features take a bit longer. We were especially...

I've had a Canon Z45 for over 5 years and it has provided me with reliable performance and decent quality for home and vacation video. When we purchased our 42" widescreen TV and began taping in 16:9 aspect ratio, we found during playback that the image...

I have been in the market for a HD camera at the best price. I looked into the canon HV-10 which is priced at 1000 dollars which is HD quality. I compared this camera as a baseline.Online I read about the Panasonic PV-GS320 which is the upgraded model of...

Great product, I can always say that DV recording much better quality than recording to hard drives. Battery life is short but I got the bigger battery so, I can record up to four tapes with CGA DU21....

When shopping for camcorders I was torn between this one and several (much more expensive) high definition options. I'm happy to have gone with the GS320. It shoots in 16:9 and the image quality looks great on my 42" HD TV... comparable to watching a DVD...

This camera works fantastic with our iMac & Macbook. It is a breeze to get video from the camera into iMovie. I accomplished it on my first attempt & no documentation was required.You make the connection via Firewire, turn the camcorder to "play" mode...

I got this video camera to replace an aging Panasonic PV-401. I especially wanted the 3 ccd feature, the 10x optical zoom, and the image stabilizer, in a DV format (since I have many DV tapes, and have read DV gives better recording quality).I've been...

I have purchased this camcorder to record my newborn. This one is giving excellent video recording (except at very dark, anyway I will not be recording in complete dark place). I have transferred the video to laptop thru FireWire cable (cheap one...

Esta era la cámara que estaba buscando. Bajo precio y gran calidad de imagen para el mismo. Es excelente en días soleados, maneja muy bien los contrastes y el color tiene un tono natural. Las fotos son aceptables y sirven muy bien para el album de...

I've only used the product once to take videos and then capture it on my PC. I had no problems and the quality was good. The menus were easy to understand, access and operate. The included software was also easy enough to use once I played with it a bit....

I found this to be a pretty good camera in terms of picture quality for the money. I bought this one because of the 3CCD technology. I also stopped by the big box stores to get a personal feel for the controls before buying online and thought the...

I bought my GS320 over Christmas and have been truly impressed with it.The reason I got it was to videotape mobility scooters for product reviews.I didn't even truly understand what they mean by a great image until I viewed my first videos from this...

Great budget camcorder! For the price you get what u pay for and this is worth every penny. It could have more features but then it would cost more.The only problem i have is the way it was packaged by amazon, it wasn't even bubble wrapped! Instead it...

My wife and I purchased this item to film our family events over the coming years. After a lot of research I narrowed it down to this and the Sony DCR-HC96 (in fact several online reviews compared these two as well). It came down to price, which was...

Correcting another review:This is NOT an upgrade over the PV-GS300!The two camcorders are exactly the same except that the 320 has NO microphone input. That is the ONLY difference.Also, a CCD is the digital equivalent of film. It is a computer chip that...

This is my first Panasonic Camcorder. I had a sony trv 27 for the last 5 years and I broke it by mistake, otherwise its a great solid camcorder. First I bought a Sony HC48, it was good in every aspect except it died the first week. I'm satisfied with...

PROS : Very good quality of video, OIS, Manual IrisCONS : No Microphone input, not impressed in low light (Magicpix), All interfaces behind the batteryVery impressed by the PV-GS320's optical image stabilization. The image was steady when zoomed at 10x....

If you want to film and edit your movies, MiniDV is still the best platform. Panasonic has provided the best solution for the money in it's PV-GS320 3CC camcorder. It's easy to use, and takes beautiful shots - even in low light. The 16:9 format is...
Review written on Jan 07, 2008
We replaced our Canon ZR70 with the PV-GS320. There is no comparison in video and audio quality. The Panasonic blows it away. Also compact enough to manage but not so small there's no where to put your hand. Only time will tell if it proves to be...

I just picked up this camera locally to use as a backup/crash cam for a AG-DVX200 prosumer camcorder. It works fine and by all means is a good camera for the money but there a few features that are annoying enough that some folks might want to avoid it...
Review written on Oct 10, 2007
- Initially I ordered SDR-H200 (which is also 3CCD), but it was getting heated up so I returned it and ordered GS320..- GS320 was no match for SDR-H200 in terms of quality of picture.- Other drawback was to transfer the recorded media onto Laptop. No...
Review written on Mar 30, 2007
Not only is the physical appearance of this model ugly, it is a complete downgrade. Panasonic takes off one of the most important features on the PV GS320 model,a MICROPHONE JACK! I currently own a 300 model and needed another camera to shoot different...
