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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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

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

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
