Amazon.com Product Decription
Amazon.com Product Decription Customers interested in the best that camcorder technology has to offer will be impressed by the new compact PV-GS65, PV-GS150, and PV-GS250 3CCD camcorders from Panasonic.  | | Illustration of 3CCD imaging device inside the PV-GS250 |
These models are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but aren't short on innovative features. Equipped with a 3CCD imaging system, high-powered digital still capability, and ease of use, these new digital video cameras will deliver high-quality digital still and moving images for the novice and expert videographer alike. These top-of-the-line camcorders incorporate the same type of 3CCD imaging system used in Panasonic's celebrated professional camcorders. Individual CCDs are used to reproduce the red, green, and blue colors that compose an image for vivid, true-to-life pictures with remarkable depth and presence. The PV-GS150 and PV-GS250 also feature the sophisticated Leica Dicomar lens, which has become known for its ability to capture and finely render the most delicate nuances of light and shade. High-resolution digital still images can be captured via the models' built-in digital still camera feature, which records to a stamp-sized SD memory card. The 1.2-megapixel PV-GS65, 2.3-megapixel PV-GS150, and 3.1-megapixel PV-GS250 feature a 10x telescopic optical zoom lens; a 700x digital zoom that allows for amazing 700:1 clear close-ups from wide angle to full telephoto zoom; and a macro zoom feature, which lets users shoot extreme close-ups at distances as near as 40 centimeters. Transferring recorded video to a PC is also quick and easy via the USB port included on each model. All three models incorporate USB 2.0; however, the PV-GS150 and PV-GS250 support USB 2.0 high speed, enabling real-time video transfers. All three models have miniDV outputs to maximize compatibility with the PC.  | | 10x optical zoom of the PV-GS250 |
To steady shaky video, the new PV-GS65 and PV-GS150 incorporate digital electronic image stabilization (EIS), which compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement. The PV-GS250 uses optical image stabilization, which intuitively compensates for any hand movement, so that every shot is beautifully crisp and clear. The PV-GS250 also includes a manual focus ring giving the user more creative control over the video being captured. Additionally, all models include a Soft Skin Detail function that detects skin's different tones and softens the focus to create a realistic blend. Features of the Panasonic PV-GS250

- 10x optical zoom; 700x digital zoom

good quality mini dv camcorder January 19, 2009
D. Kan (Pacifica, CA)
this was my first ever camcorder, this model dropped in price and can be picked up for around $200-300.
As mentioned in many online reviews the color is very accurate, but issues with low light. I never had to shoot in low light, but I did purchase a Bescor MX-601 light kit for $90 that fits on the hotshoe (get the 40w version with 2 20w bulbs is good enough to film an outside patio scene with approx 15-20ft max clarity NOT on zero lux setting which is very choppy but actually using the regular outdoor low light setting.
Also, because this cam uses miniDV, suggest getting the Panasonic Master series tapes or other high quality tapes and stick to one brand. there has been issues of switching miniDV tape brands and getting residue buildup on the heads. If this happens, there are minidv head cleaning kits that should fix this up (getting a lot of dropped frames during playback). I like the big heavy feel, other smaller HDDs are light, but this I believe adds to a lot of camera shake. Oh did I mention the image stabilization is super. You will be happy with this cam.
Excellent camcorder for your everyday use! September 3, 2007
A. van der Merwe
This camcorder has many features to desire and can be used for everyday use in many conditions. This is the second camcorder I've had in this range and am really pleased with it. The only negative thing about it is the low resolution still camera functionality it has at 3.1 MP. Otherwise a great buy with good clarity, saturation, optical zoom and features.
 Only worked for about 4 weeks in the last year and a half February 8, 2007

I was looking forward to using this highly rated camera for taking video of our new son. Unfortunately, the camera tape mechanism went out after the first 4 months and I had to send the camera to Illinois to be repaired, and also to get the tape out of the camera. The camera was out for 6 weeks. The refurbished camera lasted approx. 6 more months, sent it back again and this time it cost me $168 to have it refurbished. Now after a couple of months the camera is showing a white LCD screen and will not function at all.
Time to give up on Panasonic. Their customer service is non-existant and getting the camera repaired again seems like a waste of time.
Best deal for the price! April 16, 2006

I did a lot of research before buying the PV-GS250. Now that I have the camera in my hands I know I made a great choice. Great image quality. Great build quality. The low light problems you read about are not really a big deal. In a noramlly lit room everything is fine.
 PV-GS250 Hits a home run with me!!! March 14, 2006

I love my new camera!!! This is my first video camera and there is definitely no buyers remorse here. It is soooo user friendly!I researched many cameras and found this one to be most suitable for my needs. My company was subcontracted to work with another production company and my camera (PV-GS250) was used as a secondary camera for b-roll and it was fabulous. The footage was almost seamless between the two cameras when it was being edited. I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to using it more and more.
