Panasonic Palmcorders: Convenient with Good Features

by ChrisJoker ChrisJoker is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Electronics, , Apr 07 '00
Pros: Lightweight; easy to use; consumer-friendly design
Cons: None
In December of 1998, my wife and I purchased the Panasonic PV-L758 palmcorder. In terms of features and performance, it’s pretty much the same unit as the PV-L759. Just a few cosmetic touches here and there to make the newer model.

My first...

A technological wiz for a techie failure like me

by elliejo , Nov 08 '00
Pros: two cameras in one, great results
Cons: awkward design elements
My Panasonic Palmcorder Palmsight PV-L779 is a dream-come true. I allowed my magical camcorder-digital still camera combination to age for almost a year so that I could thoroughly analyze the features and functioning throughout a long test period. Now...

Two Birds With One Stone

by Motor_Head , Aug 09 '01
Pros: Great technology, very user friendly and tons of great features
Cons: Location of the zoom control
I often wondered why I had to buy a camcorder AND a digital camera to get the job done. Well, I don’t have to wonder anymore, because this camcorder is both. Yes, I know that this combination has been available for awhile now. However, I make...

PV-L750 (2000 model)

by btles , May 21 '00
Pros: Ease of use, picture quality
Cons: More features than useful
I just purchased the Panasonic PV-L750. This is the 2000 model VHS-C camcorder. It is 2nd from the top in Panasonic's camcorder line (first being the PV-L850). My last purchase was the PV-L758 (1998 model, which was recently rendered unusable after a...

Happy I finally chose this one

by ianc4262 , Aug 07 '00
Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: None really, a bit heavy perhaps
I've been looking for a camcorder for a long while and I finally purchased the PV-L780 which I believe is similar to the 759 model. I got it as a clearance/open box item at Circuit City for $500. I was holding out for the new 850 model as it has a...

Great camcorder

by LLescault , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Needs bigger flash card for digital pictures
We purchased this camcorder because we wanted to capture our 3 children's growing years on tape. It has been very easy to use. It is compact and lightweight. I have found Panasonic to be very reliable. It has a 4" screen which makes seeing what...

Nice Camera

by jeffh , Sep 28 '99
Pros: sensor detectors, large view screen, digital camera
Cons: very large battery, low resolution of digital pictures
This is a VHS-C camcorder which means you must take the small tape from the camcorder and place it into a "play pack" (included) to play it back on your VCR. This really hasn't been a problem.

The camcorder has some great features...

Outstanding camera

by daklown , Aug 13 '00
Pros: easy to use, great pictures, great video
Cons: B&W viewfinder, would be nice if it were SLR instead
The panasonic line of cameras are among the best we've seen. We checked out a lot of cameras before deciding on the PV-L779D which is the upgrade to the 759. It has 300x Digital Zoom, an 8 meg chip for recording digital pictures, the color LCD screen,...

a fine combo

by brak44 , Oct 17 '00
Pros: ease of use, convenience of two camera features in one
Cons: no really high quality results from either function
I was looking for a combination digital camera/camcorder for about four months before I finally researched and bought this camera. I have owned Panasonic products in the past with excellent durability and longevity, and so far this one has lived up to...

This is a great camera!! Worth every penny!

by shirleybonsell , Jan 01 '00
Pros: Lots of features, good price
Cons: Don't buy it just for the digital still capability
We bought this PV-L-759 in May from an on-line merchant and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. I saved over $100 by buying it on-line, in fact, you should be able to buy it for between $500 and $600 which makes it extremely affordable.

Don't know what I would do without mine!!!!!!

by AngieTreadway , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Very compact, and the vhs-c tapes are easy to store.
Cons: Nothing
I purchased my panasonic camcorder at sears. I was at the time a new mother. Now that I have one fixing to go to kindergarden and one who is 3, I feel like I can't live without mine. I love the compact size, and the VHS-C tapes are so easy to store....

Good Investmwnt

by bill_pipkin , Dec 15 '99
Pros: Cost
Cons: Too many advanced features
Dear Readers,

I purchased this model as a replacement for one that was stolen. At first I was hesitant at the price, but after receiving the recorder and using it for the first time, I realized what a truly good choice I had made. The fact...

Camcorders

by vgf1 , Apr 12 '00
Pros: zoom
Cons: price
I think this is one of the neatest products around. I couldn't believe the zoom on this camcorder. My daughter is in a activity called Colorguard/Winterguard. She performs on football fields and in school gymnasiums. I love the close-ups. I had...

Value for moeny

by apatel , Dec 21 '99
Pros: Snapshot mode, large screen, download stills to PC
Cons: Not for smaller hands, resolution of stills not high enough, Need stronger light bulb, need flash mode for still photographs
Got this product from an online store (TheWebShop.com) for $523 (all inclusive). Given that it sells at major retailers for $659 + tax it is a good deal. However be prepared to wait for 1 to 2 months as the product is probably back ordered.
