Panasonic NV-GX7B Mini DV Camcorder

Pros: motion stabiliser..robust build..seperate card capture
Cons: small screen difficult to see in sunlight

This is a really user-friendly camcorder ,it sits well in the palm of your hand and consistently comes up with excellent quality results.It is packed-full of features including a 1st class motion stabiliser.I find it difficult to fault but I suppose the screen is difficult to see clearly in full sunlight especially if you use spectacles.It is well-made as opposed to some other makes I have used where features like the on/off switch are poorly made and could easily break(JVC in particular) The NV-GX7B also features a seperate still-capture onto a card rather than onto the tape itself, although this is also possible. Thoroughly recommended!!
