| lvpepinions's Full Review: Panasonic Palmcorder PV-DV952 Mini DV Camcorder |
I will not go through all the features. Of course you can read them on the manufacturer's web site.
I would just like to say that this is supposed to be a high end camera. It has 3 CCD, optical stabilizer, manual focus, etc.
Anyhow I was embarrassed filming in 'low light conditions'. For example, when my son graduated I saw a lot of other parents using much less expensive cameras (I remember Sony cameras) that were able to film in the (let's say) low light (there was a ballroom and all the chandeliers were lit). On the other hand, all that I got was a pixel-ed image. I am not an expert, but what I could mention is that I was using the presetting for low light, selected from the menus.
I good light conditions the images are good.
My conclusion: they should work on low light settings.
And as a self-critique: if you are not an expert do not buy so expensive cameras.
I paid 1500 US in summer 2002.
