Panasonic Palmcorder Multicam PV-GS300 Camcorder - Silver

This 2005 model has more features than the 2007 model. The only place I could find this camera was on ebay. Features: all of the 2007 model + external mic input.

Very good battery life.

Great camera.

I was looking for a mini dv camcorder and decided on the Panasonic PV-GS300 after reading the reviews.
I love this camera because of the various features; mic input, shoe, view finder, and the 3 CCD technology.
So far I can't find any dislikes except for the absence of night shot.
Panasonic does have magic pix for night shooting but it really is for stills and you need a tripod.

I love the ability to add sound by a microphone or external source. The ability to set my fstop and shutter speed and have a custom white balance is also great.

I can compensate on the fly for dark or bright environments, rather than have to try to correct less than perfect lighting with software adjustments.

I am very happy with this product and would buy another one.

Great image quality in bright light. Par in low light. No headphone jack. Definately need an external mic.

well i just picked this up the other day and i already love it.. i was unsure of the quality of the pictures it would take.. and lets just say its amazing!

Not only does it have a 3.1 megapixel camera but it records at 3CCD which means its using more colors per picture.. the camera takes clear videos and will do great for my video blogs im about to start up.. it has mulitiple lens and has a SD slot at the bottom where u can load around 2GB of just pics! theres not one thing i dont like about this camera.. i love it!
