Panasonic PV-GS500 Camcorder Review

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 09:39:16 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

There are two main distinctions between the GS500 and the GS400: noise and sharpness. The GS400’s video shows a noticeable amount of chunky noise. I use the word “chunky” to differentiate it from the GS500, which has noise of a much finer grain.

GS500 has less noise and sharper than GS400, but cheaper!!! posted by irisdd

Easily one of the most anticipated camcorders in the last few years, Panasonic’s PV-GS500 arrived this year to replace the hugely successful PV-GS400. The GS400 offered great video quality with a bundle of pro-level features that made it a hit with the serious hobbyists and prosumers. This year, Panasonic has adopted a new approach, leaving fans none too pleased. In order to court a larger market, Panasonic has slashed prices on their top MiniDV models, and dropped most of the pro-level features in the process.

Panasonic VDR-D300 Camcorder Review - Panasonic DVD Camcorders - Panasonic Camcorders - Camcorder Reviews - Consumer Camcorders - Camcorderinfo.com

Mon, 05 Jun 2006 16:36:28 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The 3 CCD barrier on DVD camcorders has finally been broken. Meet the Panasonic VDR-D300 (along with its sibling, the D250). In theory, this top-end DVD cam with an MSRP of $999 should marry the best of Panasonic’s MiniDV 3 chip performance with the ease and convenience of the DVD format. Well, the results are in, and though it’s only February, the D300 appears to be strong candidate for best DVD camcorder of the year.

This DVD camcorder improved greatly upon its predecessor and provided a number of image quality improvements that gave greater validity to the DVD format. Very high resolution picture offered. posted by irisdd
