Fantastic mini DV camcorder for great price!
I’m not interested in technical jargon to tell me if something is supposed to perform for me. I’m only interested in what I see or hear. I purchased this camcorder 3 years ago to use for my media business and general purposes. All the reviews and stats basically said that for average consumer’s and average consumer price, this Camcorder PV GS500 delivered professional results. I have also acquired a Canon HV30 Hi Defintion camcorder for my business and the Camcorder PV GS500 picture is just as good if not better for normal video recording. The camera was easy to learn and get used to all of it’s functions. It’s design is nice and all buttons are well placed. The extending eyepiece is great! So after 3 years of use, this mini DV camcorder has lived up to it’s “average price, pro results” comment. From high noon sun to evening twilight, this panasonic pv gs500 minidv camcorder picks up colors very well. It’s autofocus is quick and very accurate. It’s LCD display is bright and easily viewable, even in bright sunlight. The video clarity is fantastic! If you’re looking for a great camcorder for a reasonable price that delivers professional results, this is it. I’m planning on getting another one of these later this year. My Camcorder PV GS500 has recorded 478 tapes so far and I’ve never had a single issue with transferring, ejecting, particles or anything else. If I had to pick one flaw with this panasonic pv gs500 minidv camcorder it would have to be that the spring loaded switch to open the tape eject bay is very stiff. Could just be my particular camera.
