| floridawannabe's Full Review: Panasonic Palmcorder® PV-GS15 Mini DV Camcord... |
We debated over whether to purchase a camcorder that also took digital stills. I had read in some tech magazine that you cannot get good quality of both, unless you spend big bucks. Well, we choose not to spend big bucks, but we did analyze the mega pixels and the zoom etc. Yet, I am not happy with the quality of the digital pictures from this camcorder. The camcorder itself works great and is easy to use. The smallness of the camcorder comes in handy, and the many editing features, are really cool.
Still pictures are another thing. The camera does have a light on the outside to help light up your subject, yet this doesn't help much. The big thing that irked me about this purchase was when I went to download my pictures. I didn't have a cord to use! NONE came with the camera! How could that be! Every digital camera needs a cord to download your pictures. Not this camera not this model number! What a rip off.
Easy use of camera, additional memory stick available, smallness of camera, instructions are a little messy and not well thought out, but otherwise, a reasonable purchase for the price.
