Panasonic NV-GS5EG: Best but one of the cheapest

I bought this camcorder 6 years ago and used it a lot to capture all the good memories. Instead of paying £950 in high street stores that time, I purchased this from Tottenham Court Road shop Kamala Electronics (www.askdirect.co.uk) for £550. After...

Why choose the GS5?

Panasonic's GS range can be a bit confusing. I chose this over the others mainly because it is the only one in the range with a colour viewfinder as well as a colour monitor. It's also the only one to record MPEG movies and have a voice recorder (both...

I love it

The Panasonic NV GS5 is what I have always wanted. It takes great pictures and is a good quality camcorder. I am surprised at the quality that comes from such a compact camera as are a lot of people when they see the results. It is also a great...
