Product reviewsPanasonic Palmcorder PV-GS12 Mini DV Camcorder

I have one just like this PV-GS12

What I love about it: It has a firewire connection, so you can connect it right to your computer if your PC has firewire (1394IEEE)It has a card slot and i bought the Lexar media 256mb card, was able to hold around 700 digital pictures on it! Its palm-size and lightweight. Videos are great, and you can play them back WITH SOUND immediately. I also like being able to immediately review the pictures. Its a great little video camera but not so great for stills. I like being able to switch from taking a video to taking a photo with one switch of the button. really easy features. easy to learn.
What I dislike: While the video features are great, the still photos come out blurry sometimes. I dont know if it is because your hand naturally moves a bit when you press the picture button, located on top right next to the zoom button or if it is just a low megapixel camera. Most people have a good digital camera anyway, so if you are getting this for still pictures, i can honestly say it takes better pics than a cell phone, but not as great pics in low light. It doesnt have a flash, it has a light that stays on and is not so great for photos in low light. birthday candles ligting great, campfire lighting not great. It also has a USB port for directly uploading pictures to the computer. NOTE: THE OTHER REVIEW POSTED HERE IS NOT A REVIEW OF THE PRODUCT, RATHER SHOULD BE ON FEEDBACK TO THE SELLER. THE REVIEW SHOULD BE ABOUT THE PRODUCT ONLY... JUST BECAUSE THE SELLER DIDNT SEND YOU A BATTERY CHARGER, DOES NOT WARRANT THE "POOR" REVIEW YOU GAVE. YOU SHOULD REMOVE THAT REVIEW AND LEAVE THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR THE SELLER...THANKS.Read full review...

Very nice little camera/camcorder

I have had this camera for several years and love it. I can use it all day and never tire as it is so light. I love the pics and video. It does take a huge amount of pictures on a 256 mb SD card. I could not believe how many it took before filling this card. I am now replacing the battery as it no longer hold a charge. I will continue to use this little camera until it dies on me. Don't hesitate if you are considering a purchase. Plus I paid tons of money for this back three years ago when I obtained it from Radio Shack, to the tune of 784. I never regretted a dime of this cost either.Read full review...

Replacing a lost camera

I needed to transfer 10 year old mini cartridge data and had to use the identical camera.
This discontinued model did the job.

Panasonic mini dvd

We got the camera and the battery doesn’t charge so the camera won’t turn on. We don’t have a cord for plugging it into wall without battery.

Very Happy with miniDV

MiniDV - though the it's being replaced with flash and hard-drive camcorders...the miniDV still pushes great high quality with the help of a fire wire.

Ok..spare parts perfect

This worked out perfectly for the spare parts i needed. Have the same type of camcorder that needed parts. Would of cost a lot to send back to factory. Worked out perfect. Thanks.

Yup!

It works.

Unsatisfied

It took for ever to get, and then there was no battery charger for it. I bought this for a Christmas present and they still can't use it. I was very unsatisfied with this purchase.
