This camcorder was complete garbage. After a few uses it began suffering the "Press Reset Button" plague. I did some research an apparently a lot of Panasonic camcorders have the same problem. Read more

These are the characters I looked for before buying this camcorder. The model was suggested by B&H salesman and it turned to be an excellent product. Huge zoom, excellent stabilization, nice grip and reliable. It has capability for taking stills too. I also got a firewire cable to transfer the recorded stuff to my PC. This way I can reuse same mini DV, though it does not cost much. If you are looking for something below $200 I would highly recommend this product. Read more

Panasonic PV-GS90 MiniDV 5 I purchased this camcorder to document the vacation of my lifeime. And I have been extremely pleased with its performance. Panasonic has addressed several design flaws in previous models to make this one sweet little unit. They've also added a few new improvements. The bottom line is that it takes good video overall. Quality is very good in outdoor lighting. Read more
