Compact and versatile, the PV-DV203 Digital Palmcorder MultiCam? Camcorder from Panasonic offers features that produce high quality videos and stills. It combines a digital camcorder, digital still camera and teleconferencing Web camera capabilities, all in one easy-to-use camcorder. The Palmcorder offers several shooting options, digital effects, and quick and easy connection to a computer using either the IEEE 1394 (i.LINK) or USB interface. The progressive PhotoShot? mode eliminates fuzziness by digitally capturing the image data of a singular moment, and temporarily storing it in two field memories. The two images are then combined to produce a better quality picture. With the Picture-in-Picture mode you can insert a previously taken digital still image into the video you?re recording. Digital EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement to help stabilize your recordings. This feature reduces jitter when recording as a passenger in a car or while walking. Less

If I Can't Have a Professional Camcorder, This Is the Next Best Thing

bybriandalsmom Aug 31, 2003
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fabulous pictures, outstanding zoom, easy to use.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

My old camera was a Digital 8—I loved it and it took great pictures, but it was older and didn't have the still photo option (I did my best with capturing stills from the video but it's not the same) features the newer models have. When the need to purchase a new one presented itself, I needed to... Read full review »

Great buy for someone in need of side loading camera

bymotioncapture Oct 2, 2003
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Portable, Affordable, Side Tape Loading lets you reload while still mounted on a tripod.
Cons non-standard lens threads (27mm), camera auto-shuts down when tape is loaded.
Recommended it? Yes

I spent well over two days researching MiniDV cameras, and finally bought the PV-DV 203.

Since I operate an optical motion capture studio, I have very specific needs that others may not have. But I hope this info is some help for you!

My studio has lower light conditions, and... Read full review »

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, light, great picture quality
Cons Stock battery life, no neck or shoulder strap, manual lens cover
Recommended it? Yes

This is the third camcorder that I've owned in my life. The first two recored to tape, a JVC and then a Sony CCDTRV43 (which served me very well for the last 10 years or so).
But it was time to upgrade. After balancing out price vs features vs quality I went with the Sony HDR-CX150... Read full review »

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, great battery life, excellent finished video file.
Cons Software bundled lacks good conversion software
Recommended it? Yes

Let me start off by saying that I am very tech savvy but have never owned or operated a camcorder before.

So I received my Sony HDR-CX150 from amazon.com about 1 month ago, and have been testing it out ever since.

First impressions: Very compact recorder. A lot smaller than I had... Read full review »
