Product Description:

For impressive video and still images, Panasonic PV-GS320 is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but is not short on innovative features. This camcorder incorporates the same type of 3CCD imaging system used in Panasonic's celebrated professional camcorders. Individual CCDs are used to reproduce the red, green and blue colors that compose an image for vivid, true-to-life pictures with remarkable depth and presence. The PV-GS320 also features the sophisticated Leica Dicomar lens, which has become known for its ability to capture and finely render the most delicate nuances of light and shade. The PV-GS320 also offers 16:9 widescreen format recording (to fill the screens of new widescreen TV models) as well as standard 4:3. It has a 2.7" widescreen LCD on camera for easy viewing. It uses Optical Image Stabilization, that compensates for normal hand movement, to reduce blur and assure that still and video images are beautifully crisp and clear. High-resolution digital still images can be captured via the GS320's built-in digital still camera feature, which records to a stamp-sized SD or SDHC Memory Card. The PV-GS320 features high-speed USB 2.0 for high quality full-motion video transfer, in addition to standard audio and video connecting ports. High-Picture-Quality 16 - 9 Wide as well as standard 4 - 3 visual screen record and play modes 2.7 Diagonal Widescreen Power LCD Monitor and Color Viewfinder Built-in SD / SDHC Memory Card Slot for inserting optional SD cards USB 2.0 High-Speed for image data transfer to a PC or Macintosh computer / May also be used as a Webcam Audio Dubbing (SP Mode Only) High Speed Shutter 5-Mode Program Auto-Exposure Manual Focus Ring Allows PictBridge Direct Print Compatibility Video is recorded on MiniDV tapes Record sound as a 12-Bit or 16-Bit digital soundtrack in stereo or mono Still picture resolutions up to 2048 x 1512 [4 - 3] and 2048 x 1152 [16

It is a great camera.2010-01-26
I am very happy with this camcorder, I recently bought this because I was getting tired of my panasonic pvgs85 and decided to upgrade to this, and I must say it produces very high quality videos for its price, I film a lot of things like skateboarding, movies for projects, family stuff and all that jazz, but the thing that brought me down the most was the low lighting on this camera, it isnt too good so if your looking to make movies and such and night time then you should find another camera, but other than that the 3ccd proves itself, it has brilliant colors and its very lightweight. I give this camera a 4 out of 5 only becuase of the low light settings, but other than that its one of the best I've ever purchased.
Video quality is not very good2009-12-03
Need to do manual adjustments if you want video to be less than lousy (still not very good, though). Looks pretty bad on a large TV.

Camera pics are normal video camera quality; not worth using.

I'll try again in a few years with a hi def video camera when the prices hit close to what I paid for this model. My ancient video cameras take better video (vhs-c and huge old Canon mini dv).
Nifty Camcorder for its Time2009-12-01
When I started out as a video producer, I never dreamed they would invent a standard definition, broadcast quality camera you could hold in the palm of your hand, but here it is. With good lighting, a decent digital audio recorder and the right software and editing, you could produce a TV documentary that would fool a professional! My one regret is, by the year 2012, high definition will be so popular it will make this once popular format appear obsolete.

Wonderful2009-04-29
The seller sent the product in a timely manner, arranging for out-of-the-country shipping to Costa Rica, which took a little extra effort. The unit is in near-perfect cosmetic shape and works up to specifications. I would buy from this seller again. A good experience.
