First of all, the camera I bought is model type GS1 not GS11 as it is mentioned... I bought it as a replacement for my Mini DV camera NV DS60, also by Panasonic since the asking price for DS 60 on E-Bay was too high in my opinion, but unavoidably I will compare it with the DS60... Likes: Its a simple camera for someone that wants sth easy to operate and it has the same capabilities as the DS60, picture and sound quality for an amateur is good, the price was also reasonable... Dislikes: You have to select seperately 'camera' or 'VCR' mode, that did not happen with the DS60, the tape mechanism is very slow and complicated...and I think its the most sensitive component of the camera, and you must buy a stronger battery if you want to have sufficient operation time since the original Panasonic batteries are inadequate... I had several recorded DV tapes that became useless when my DS60 broke, so I had to buy another DV camera in order to utilize them, and I wanted to buy again from Panasonic since I was familiar with the make... I do not think however that the GS1 should be your sole video camera, you must have sth more up-to-date for regular use, the GS1 being already almost 10 years old, I am afraid it will not last in sustained use...Read full review
well made plenty of fetures easy to use and it has a view finder which gives a choice of looking through it or using the screen also a great remote it can do everything with the camcorder on a tripod. the best Video Camcorder i have ever had.

Difficult to operate without downloading 64 page manual from internet. Initially multiple black bars across screen on play back which I believe can be caused by dirt on tape head through lack of use, seems to be getting a bit better, will get a tape head cleaner. Message also keeps telling me to press reset button so possible problem there. Otherwise okay.
