Disregard these PV DV400 reviews
2004-08-13
 |
| As of 8/13/2004 this camcorder (PV-DV400) is not available in the US. There are reviews here that date back to 2000, makes you wonder about the integrity of the reviews here at Amazon. |

Got what I wanted...(that's a good thing)

| I had done a lot of research here and on other sites. The three things I was looking for was price, optical zoom, and video & picture capability. I found an open box deal at Circuit City that beat any site (most sites were offering great deals, but on grey market items). Of all the digital camcorders I looked at, I really wanted one particular Sony model but I couldn't find a non-grey market deal that could convince me. I settled for this 18x optical zoom which does give me the quality pictures I want for email, plus the nice and sizable viewfinder. I wasn't looking to print so this is just what I wanted. The video recording is great. I received many compliments on the quality of the video. As for what I don't like about it, well the biggest thing is that I have the option to take pictures in "normal" or "fine" mode. It looked like the battery life was reduced to a 1/3 while in fine mode. Be carefull if your battery is already low and you try to use that mode. The only other thing I really didn't care for but deal with, is the manner in which I have to pull my pictures off the memory card. A little clunky but workable. Oh yeah, one other thing, a remote really would have been nice. I am still playing around with some of the other features and haven't been disappointed to this point. It's pretty light weight and packed with useful features. |

| this is a great camcorder,but the only thing bad about is low resolution for the still shots and the short battery life. |

Panasonic Digi-Camcorder PVDV-400
2001-03-22

| This is a great little camera, for a great price. One problem I never thought about when first started looking for a Camcorder was, how well does it fit in my hand. Initially I wanted that little Sony, like the kid had in American Beauty, but when I went try it out it was only a little bigger than a pack of cigarettes and my hand just swallowed it. My fingers were getting in front of the lens, I could hardly adjust the zoom because my index finger was on the other side of the camera. It was a real Bummer. So then I looked at the Panasonic and it was perfect. Just the way the zoom toggles front to back, instead of up and down made all the difference in the world. That, along with the big LCD screen, MM card for easy access to stills and it being totally digital, making editing a breeze made me buy it. Not to mention the...savings. There are a few more features on that little Sony...but it was a pain to use. The PVDV-400, is very light sesitive but not really as much as they advertise, so I had to get an external light. I would suggest getting it when you get the camera. Also it would have been nice if they had thrown in the remote. It's amazing how much you'll use the stuff when you get it, even if you don't think you will now. All in all a terrific camera, you won't be dissappointed. |
