Panasonic PV-D209 VHS-C Camcorder

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Aug 29 '00
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.

Great Camcorder for a Great Price

by scottarkin , Dec 07 '99
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

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.

The Panasonic VHS-C Palmcorder: Still a good value?

by Ahab1973 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 24 '01
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.

These camcorders are...

Great picture, low price

by georgekn3 , Dec 22 '99
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...

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...

great camera, needs more features

by rdixon , Nov 06 '99
Pros: great price, C-VHS
Cons: limited features
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...

Cool Cam

by ceciltheme , Jun 01 '00
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....

Lightweight, Inexpensive Fun!

by charl11 , Jan 30 '00
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...

by todd9 , Nov 20 '00
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.

It delivers...

Panasonic Palmcorder PV-D209 VHS-C Analog Camcorder
by teedee911 ,Mar 29 '07
Pros: Affordable, Reliable, Easy to operate, Panasonic Quality!
Cons: None considering price.
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.
