Panasonic invented the Digital EIS to compensate the unintentional hand and camcorder movement to stabilize your recordings. You can use the Dual D-EIS technology even in the playback mode to remove the jitter from previously recorded video. PhotoShot Built in Digital Still Camera allows you to use your digital camcorder as a digital still camera by capturing six seconds of stills with audio in VGA (640 x 480) resolution onto the mini DV cassette. Using the industry standard IEEE-1394 PC interface, you can co...

Let's make a movie, Mommy!

Date of Review:  May 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: Minimum frills but an all around good camcorder. If you want a camcorder that is easy to use, this is one you should consider.
Review: After spending several months researching and comparing Mini DV camcorders, I decided on the Panasonic PV-DV51 Digital Camcorder for it's price, ease of use and brand reliability. While other brands had a slight edge with features, our family has a...

$400 for a 680k Mini DV Camcorder? You bet!!

Date of Review:  Oct 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Seems to be a good camcorder for not a lot of money.
Review: I have been in the market for a new camcorder for almost a year now. I'm a guy who likes a lot of bells and whistles on my toys. However, I couldn't see forking out $1300+ for a top of the line camcorder.

Recently I saw an ad for this...

great camera for the price

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: Does what it's supposed to, nothing else.
Review: I wasn't really in the market for a new camera although i desperately needed one. My old JVC vhs-c wasn't really cutting it. I saw this camera in the Fry's Electronics add for only $377. That's a must have price so I got it. I'm not interested in...
