Pros: 3 CCD technology is superb at color reproduction. All miniDV, including the multi-thousand dollar units shoot miniDV at 25Mbs... the data stream is exactly the same. The only difference is the glass, and if the majority of your consumer shooting is in sunlight or normal lighting conditions at average distances you don't need pro glass. Optical image stabiliza...

My first 3CCD... I purchased this nifty little camcorder primarily for making
low-budget movies. I read the reviews and compared prices on
numerous models and decided the GS320 was the most affordable
and suitable model (GS500 was unavailable at the time). The
box arrived in the mail and I began some film testing and was
quickly impressed with the video quality, especially outdoors,
creating some clear, vivid images. It's true, the low lighting
isn't the greatest and the colors...

Works GREAT with a Mac! 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 and iMovie will detect the connection. You just click the "import" button and watch your video be copied over. The video quality is fantastic. My wife was really impressed.
We made the mistake of originally buying a JVC ...

DON'T DELAY, LAST OF THE STELLER MINI DV Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: By far the best Mini DV on the market. Bridges the gap between Standard Def and High Def. In addition, by going to a High Def unit, for Editors (like me) you'll need the extra horsepower to do it. Now a $1,000 for a High Def camcorder jumps to about 4k after getting the necessary tools to accomplish good editing. Hard drive camcorders??? ...

Perfect Camcorder for us 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 quality was definitely hurting. I thought I should replace my Canon with a HD Camcorder, however, my research failed to convince me that the time is right - high cost, various recording media, difficulties editing and unknown capability to tran...

Nice camera albeit missing a few things 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 (none of these points are a deal breaker for my purposes).
1) There is no audio input so you're stuck with the microphone that is in the camera.
2) The USB, DV and power ports are located behind the battery. This wouldn't be so bad...

Panasonic PV-GS 320 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 pleased with the camera, especially the 3.1 MP photo capability, which works with the zoom and image stabilizer. This means only one camera to carry for both video and stills. With a powerful optical zoom, 3.1 MP is plenty for my purposes, a...

Overall good, image stabilization could have been better 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 this panasonic gs320. The video quality is good and rich on outdoors, indoors are not that great but okay, can't complain. Its easy to hold, shoot and control the zoom. It took me a while to get used to the joystick. The still images are not just ba...

Poor low lighting... 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 better at Circuit City. Unfortunatly I will be paying a 15% restocking fee now as we have decided to return it and go with the Sony. The Panasonic, I feel, is a really good camera. The colors are bright and crisp...during the day. However we fe...

Closest Camcorder to HD quality! 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 the GS300 released early 2006. This camera has 3CCD , what does that mean? each ccd is a processing chip that allows the image to display at it's best.
How do you test this? Go to your local Best Buy or Compusa where they...
