Digital camera reviews of Panasonic PV-GS39 MiniDV Camcorder with 30x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Amazing, faithful camera. BUY IT!
Summary: 4 Stars
My little brother got this as a Christmas present 4 years ago, for ME to film him skating. Personally, this camera has changed my life bu inspiring me into film/video making. Many of you though, probably won't be using it for what I was, but mainly for family videos, which is probably what it was designed for. probably one of the best things about this camera, is the audio quality! THe audio quality on this camera is amazing!!! I picked up tiny quiet wispers from sveral yards away BEHIND ME! (notice the mic recorder is in the front of the camera). the only negative to the audio quality, it that it is not wind resistent at ALL. 2nd, is the video quality. It's not HD, and at it's time of realease, HD cams weren't quite as cheap and availible as they are today, so for the average Camcorder for it's time, the quality is great. 3rd, the zoom. Ok, 30x optical zoom!? It might not have a built in optical stablizer, but on a tripod, you might as well not have it zoomed in. 4th, the view finder/playback. The view finder is decent quality, and as for the play back... The simplest Play back on a Camcorder EVER! 5th, the battery. I've had this camera for four years... The battery at this point lasts about 5 minutes. BUT! for the first 3 years of this camera's life, you could leave the battery on for a good 3 hours straight with a full charge. Either way, a new battery is only $25. 6th, it's durability. I've had this camera for four years. Dropped it more then 5 times, had it hit with a skateboard, and filmed in the rain with it... It may not look it, but this camera (with the exception of the battery) will last you a life time.
The only negatives I have about this camera, is the current price. It's a GREAT camera, and I personally love it, but for only about $50 more, you could get an HD. I would absolutely love if Panosonic made an HD version of this camera. If possible the same design, functions and durability with updated quality. If they ever made one, I would dish out $250 in a SNAP, but for $250, I would say it's a little over priced. Though still a great Camcorder.
In two words... GET IT!
