Hi my name is Rick and I'm gonna do a review on a Panasonic camcorder video camera. It's called a PV-GS150 I was really happy with the camera up until about a month ago I was ____ for no reason. Actually I loan it to a friend and he'll take he's gonna video something his grandfather's birthday or something and anyway it just quit turn it off and would not turn back on. Up until that point it has been a really great camera I need to send it back to Panasonic for service but the neat I did like about this is how small it is how compact this thing it's really fits in the palm of your hand really easy it doesn't take much room at all very light weight has a flip out screen and the screen was pretty large. I wish I could turn on to show but it's very large and you can adjust it any way that you want to be able to see the screen. I know whenever I'm video and show and they like that because they flip it around video them and they can see themselves and it's so they enjoy that quite a bit. It uses a mini DV tape which goes in here very easy to load and it's a good quality tape. There are manual settings on it so you can do do the menu. You can set it up to take still frame pictures if you want. It actually has a place for a memory card to go in right here an SD card so if you have a security digital card you can get those I think 2 giga bytes is the size card that I have and it will take a lot of pictures. I think the pictures are I believe it's 2.3 mega pixels so if you are outside I've have had pretty good look to those pictures but if you are inside ____ to low light situation the pictures don't turn out very good. And it's kinda the same story with the video inside with low light i haven't been really happy with it but outside with especially bright days without the light the colors are very vivid. One neat thing about this camera is that is the 3CCD camera which means it actually has a very good color depth to it. When you play it back to your TV you'll really be amazed at the quality. We moved up to this camera from a actually last camera was a hard drive camera from JVC we were very disappointed in the colors on that camera and move into this one with mini DV tape I've been very happy with it has very good lens on it it's a like a dicomar lens and overall I like to say I was very please with this camera up until it quit working on me just about a month or so. So anyway the Panasonic PV-GS150 I would recommend it again might wanna make sure that you have a good warranty for it and I really not heard any ____ promise with Panasonic now not with the people I have it's been a good camera so I really won't hesitate to buy another one. I highly recommend it.
