Pros: Good picture quality and reliability, nice price, VHS-C tapes play in your VCR Cons: Quality a bit worse than in digital models, gets worse at slower speeds
Panasonic PV-D209 is one of the best analog camcorders. It is relatively old model and cannot compete with digital models in image quality, portability or features. But the low price makes it a great value.
Pros: Great camcorder, excellent price, lots of features Cons: Wish battery would last longer
I recently got to use the Panasonic camcorder for about a week, and I definitely have it say it's an excellent piece of work for the price. At around $500 for my model it was easy to use and included a bunch of cool features (note: they do have several...
Pros: good picture, good price Cons: lights burns battery quickly
The Panasonic PV-D209 is a quality videocamera for the price range it is offered in. My wife and I received this camera as a gift when our first child was born and it has performed admirably ever since.
Pros: Good quality video, relatively inexpensive Cons: Low quality audio
With the advent of digital camcorders, the typical consumer may be wondering if an analog camcorder is still a worthwhile purchase. If you're talking about a lower end Panasonic VHS-C, I'd have to say absolutely.
Pros: Video Quality,Price,Usability, Weight Cons: Battery Life (small battery has 2 hours or so.)
My wife and I bought this camcorder for Christmas 1999, because we got tired of missing all of our two year old son's "greatest moments", and because it was on sale at the local Best Buy. It seemed to be better than the lower priced models on...
Pros: easy to start filming without much prior knowledge Cons: zoom buttons distance away for short fingers
I have wanted a camcorder for several years, missing out having one for our two daughters' weddings, the birth (27 months ago) of our foster baby, the birth of our grandbaby 17 months ago - so many things we have missed. But, Santa brought the Panasonic...
Pros: Light, compact,easier than a vcr to use Cons: Battery life shorter,limited features
Memories are a hard thing to lose, lets face it everyday with family or friends are special but every once in a while "that one moment " happens when you want it on tape.Well this is the Camcorder to have to capture those moments. I have a...
We recently bought the camera at best buy (thats another story) the camera has a great zoom and even has a built in light. Best of all it is a C-VHS which means it will play in your VCR with the adapter tape that comes with it. You can believe that...
Pros: Good quality picture, easy to operate Cons: Only takes VHSC tapes.
Panasonic PV-D209 is a great camcorder. WE bought this over a year ago. We had a house fire, and we wanted to buy the camera to record the progress of our house being redone.
We bought this model because of the name and features. Panasonic I...
Pros: easy to use and good picture quality Cons: audio is at 95%
My sister used this camcorder to record her wedding and my wedding. I must say, that it's a great little machine. It's lightweight, easy to use, and had good pictures. The audio could use a tiny bit of work, but that won't be noticed by the average ear....
Pros: light, many good features, price Cons: not excellent quality, not excellent features
I bought this video camera pretty much because it was the cheapest of Panasonic's video cameras, and that is a very trusted brand. My last video camera was also from Panasonic. This video camera, although cheap, has been very good so far. It's easy to...
Pros: East to use; great picture Cons: battery needs charging every 2 hours
I bought the Panasonic PV-D209 because we wanted a camcorder to film our children growing up. This the best camcorder for the money. Especially if you are on a budget. It is simple to use, and compatible with your current VCR.
I bought my PV-D209 new back in 1998. Still, some 9
years later it works great! For an old analog camcorder
it still takes quite a video. VERY reliable and EASY
to use. It can't compete with the digital quality of
today's video cameras but it is by no means obsolete.
I STILL use this camera on outings because it's so
easy to use and light to carry.
