Panasonic PV-GS300 - Digital Trends

Digital Trends have posted a review of the Panasonic PV-GS300 3CCD digital camcorder. 'The Panasonic PV-GS300 is a rather compact camcorder, even with blank cassette recording media. It fits nicely in your hand and has a primarily silver body made mostly of metal with exception to the plastic door covering the tape mechanism. The camcorder weighs 18.4 ounces with tape, battery and SD memory card in place. A very easily adjusted Velcro wrist strap places your hand in good position to reach the main controls such as the wide/tele zoom switch. I prefer horizontal configuration camcorders like the PV-GS300 compared to the upright shape of models like the Canon HV10 but that’s my taste—you should definitely do a hands-on of this camcorder or any other you’re considering.

The front is dominated by a 10x Leica Dicomar zoom lens with a built-in lens cover. The ring surrounding the lens can be removed to add accessory lenses. You’ll also find a flash, stereo mic and a sensor for white balance and the supplied remote. The top features a cold accessory shoe for optional mics, a tape eject button, the wide/tele zoom toggle, a dedicated button for taking 3-megapixel stills (2048 x 1512 pixels) and the main on/off power switch.
