An Idiot Beginner's POV of a *Cheaper* 3CCD Digicam: the Panasonic NV-GS70

 

Please note I am reviewing the Panasonic NV-GS70EN, naming conventions seem to be different for the same product in Asia (from the States ? it's all very confusing to me why they do this.. Canon does as well), so I think I am putting this in the...

Size, 3ccd etc

less pixels, reduced functions, dodgy zoom button

This is an attractive prospect if you want a three-chip camcorder, but a similarly-priced single-chip model will probably provide better image definition if you want decent still-image capture as well.

Low price, three-chip image sensor, full manual control options, compact and lightweight, quick start mode

CCD resolution is a little on the low side, poor still capture, slightly tricky switchgear

Low price ; Three-chip image sensor ; Full manual control options ; Compact and lightweight ; Quick start mode

CCD resolution is a little on the low side ; Poor still capture ; Slightly tricky switchgear

If image definition and still capture is more important to you that colour, then you´ll be better off with a similarly-priced single-chip model, otherwise, you should give the NV-GS70 a look.

Panasonic NV-GS70: Roll camera, mark it, action!

 

When I decided to buy my first camcorder I had already done an extensive research for the previous 5 years! I am young director myself and all the cameras my friends and family had just didn't do it for me. Either their picture quality wasn't good...

Value for money, excellent quality, compact size

Not really a disadvantage but it needs miniDV tapes
