Panasonic PV-DV852 Digital Camcorder With Megapixel CCD And Optical Stabilizer

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, May 14 '02
Pros: Excellent picture quality, megapixel CCD and optical stabilizer, features, size
Cons: Price
The Panasonic PV-DV852 digital camcorder is definitely not cheap, taking into account that you can buy an entry-level model for less than $500. However, the entry-level camcorders are definitely inferior to this model in performance and features....

Pros: Large 1/3.8" Megapixel CCD, Optical Image Stabilization, Pop Up Flash

Pros: Outstanding picture sharpness/quality excellent optical image stabilization Good low light performance
Cons: Audio (mic&line input) only average. Zoom takes a-while to master Auto-exposure icons difficult to decipher

The upper crust of consumer camcorders

by jookyg , Jul 25 '03
Pros: excellent video quality, optical image stabilization, tons of features
Cons: expensive, bottom-loading tape, poor documentation, too many features
If you're not quite ready to jump into the very expensive world of professional-grade digital video, the DV852 is a good compromise. It stands at the top of the consumer-level units in terms of quality, features and optics, for under $1000. I could even...
