panasonic nvgs400 is very nice camera and quality picture i will love it for capture picture and sound.
Without a doubt this is the best model in Panasonic's GS series and probably the best MiniDV camcorder in it's class. I'm an independent short filmmaker on the move. I needed a camcorder that has all the manual controls of a pro model, but in a compact size. NV-GS400 answers that need and provides the best quality colour reproduction I can hope for from a camera of that size. Manual Controls: Zebra Bars, Iris, Shutter, White Balance, Focus, Audio Level. The zoom/focus ring selector I find an excellent aid to speedy setting changes, much better that on screen or menu button style navigation. All the other camera buttons are very well placed indeed. The camera provides external Mic input which is far superior to any built in mic. The camera also supports an all important DV IN for making a digital edit/cut back onto tape. I just can't fault this model Whilst many people move to HD I find that for my purposes, web video, the old MiniDV standard satisfies my requirements and has far less workflow issues.Read full review
The only thing I don't like about this camera is that when you are filming widescreen, the image is stretched on LCD, but fine when played back on a widescreen TV. It was a replacement for my nv-gs250 which was damaged when my taxi caught fire- http://www.flickr.com/photos/stormcab/2860594128/ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hMaSgP40DjE By the time the nv-gs250 came out it had sorted this problem out, and could show the widescreen image correctly displayed on the LCD. I ordered the nv-gs400 in 2006, just as the last of the stock was running out, but it got lost in the mail from Hong Kong, so the nv-gs250 was what I had to settle for. Now don't get me wrong, the nv-gs250 was a superb camera, and I believe won 'best camcorder of the year 2005' in its price range, but so did the nv-gs400 the previous year, only, Camcorder info said that if the rules were different it would have taken both years. Big screen, great manual controls, lots of options, fantastic I now own one. www.stormcab.comRead full review
