  • Panasonic PV-DV102 MiniDV Digital Camcorder With Still Camera And USB

    Apr 19 '02
    Pros: Price, size, features, picture quality in video mode, USB connection, FireWire, "SD drive"
    Cons: Still pictures have low resolution, only 10x zoom, no remote included

    Summary: The Panasonic PV-DV102 is a MiniDV digital camcorder with a 2.5” LCD that sells for less than $550. It features a MPEG streaming, built-in light, digital still camera mode with SD card “drive” and up to 1280x960 resolution.

  • My First Digital Camcorder, And Not A Bad Choice Either!

    Feb 16 '03
    Pros: Compact, camcorder doubles as still camera, light, zoom, image stabilization
    Cons: Faulty night recording, digital zoom gets very shaky, software only exports from camera to PC.

    Summary: This is a very nice camera. I originally got this camera to record myself skateboarding. I needed a small, compact camera.

    It is a very nice, semi-weighty camcorder. The flip-screen is nice, but kind of small.

    The zoom is 10X...

  • Excellent entry level DV Cam

    Dec 30 '02
    Pros: Good image quality, compact size, built in light.
    Cons: SD card not standard. Poor still images

    Summary: Other reviewers have given more technical details so I'll tend to gloss over there. The camera has 10x optical zoom which is a bit weak but about standard for most DV cams. The digital zoom goes to 700x but that is just showboating and has not real...

  • Great Camera Overall in my Opinion

    Jul 07 '02
    Pros: High quality video, good "on camera" effects, USB and Fire Wire (i link) capabilities.
    Cons: Short battery life, low quality photos, no mic. input

    Summary: I just bought the Panasonic PV-DV 102 about a week ago at Circuit City, and I mostly like it. I still have not figured out all the many functions it has to offer, but I can tell you about most of them.

    This camera has very good video quality....

  • It works well as a video camera, but don't take photos with it

    Jun 18 '02
    Pros: Price, features, video quality.
    Cons: battery/mains design.

    Summary: I read a load of reviews and tested out a number of Camcorders in electronics shops before deciding on the DV102 and I must say that I have not been disappointed with it.
    While some complain of it's bad quality as a digital camera and it's woeful...

  • Panasonic PV-DV102 Digital Palmcorder MultiCam Camcorder

    May 27 '02
    Pros: Uses Mini-DV, and has digital recording feature
    Cons: Not good if you want to transfer video to PC.

    Summary: I purchased PV-DV102 for $599 at local electronics store. It is good for recording video and playing it directly on TV. The audio recording is also good and clear.

    However, the reason I had purchased this model was because it had USB and iLink...

  • Good entry level DV Camcorder

    Apr 14 '02
    Pros: Good movie quality, easy to use, ability to take still photos directly to SD/MMC card
    Cons: Average/Poor still photo quality, only 10X zoom, short battery life with included battery

    Summary: After using this camcorder for over about two months, I can say overall I like it.

    Picture quality is good, but definitely needs appropriate lighting. In dim situations the picture is too dark for my tastes (this is somewhat true for most...

  • Panasonic PV-DV102 MiniDV Camcorder

    Jun 25 '04
    Pros: Ease of use; works well with iMovie; small, but not too small
    Cons: unacceptable quality loss with image stabilization; poor battery life; no a/v or mic inputs.

    Summary: This was a great introductory miniDV camcorder. I bought it because of the price and the ability to hook the camera up to my computer with firewire. One problem is that I have a difficult time holding the camera still because it is so small. The image

  • I took this little jewel to Hawaii as my only camera

    May 28 '04
    Pros: Size, price, video quality, ease of use, cost of tapes
    Cons: Low resolution on "stills"

    Summary: I took this little jewel to Hawaii in 2002 (soon after purchasing it) as my only camera. It was easy to learn to use; and, I was able to stock up on tapes before I left. I used about a dozen tapes (you can imagine...Hawaii!!!). When I returned, I

  • A good deal for the price.

    Feb 12 '04
    Pros: Price, display, picture.
    Cons: A little confusing at first.

    Summary: This is a nice camcorder, especially for the price! It was a little confusing getting all the necessary S/W and a card to edit and burn to DVD... But that will happen with ANY digital camcorder. This one gives a nice picture, is RELATIVELY easy to

    Summary: I exchanged a Sony DCR TRV250 to buy this camera. I wasn't satisfied with the Sony but that's a dif
