PANASONIC STINKS! February 19, 2006
2 out of 27 found this review helpful

So, you go out and plunk down nearly 600 bucks of your hard-earned cash for a Panasonic PB-GS65 DV camcorder. It is a digital video camcorder, after all. That's why you bought it. Well, guess what? It doesn't come with a DV cable to plug it into anything. That is so pathetically stupid I take it as an outright slap from a company that must think I'm just some sort pain in their shorts. It cost me completion of a project that I had to put together as soon as the camera arrived. So, Panasonic, I'll post a negative review of as many of your products I possibly can over the next few weeks and make you pay as much as possible for being about as stupid a company as I've ever had to deal with. Oh yeah, and you're camcorder is being returned. Go buy a cable and have a ball.

When it breaks you own it even under warranty February 17, 2006

We purchased this camera and overall it was a good camera. It took excellent outside video and was not a great performer in low light conditions but that is not atypical of today's reasonably priced miniDV camcorders. However after six months the LCD screen suddenly stopped working. It was not mishandled and the otherwise the camera works great. We sent it last November to the Panasonic authorized service center. They returned it three months later unrepaired because the part is not available. We were out $100 in labor fees plus we still have a broken camera that is less than a year old. I only share this as a warning to potential buyers. Panasonic did not honor our warranty!

Great camera, with a few quirks. January 30, 2006

I liked the camera a lot, but it has a few irritating details as compared to GS150. If I knew these before purchase, I probably would have purchase GS150 itself.

The camera itself is fine, but the description doesn't indicate that you cannot transfer the video over the USB cable. You have to separately purchase the Firewire cable for that. GS150 allows you to transfer video over USB. GS150 comes with software for video editing, and it has a built-in lens cap.

Great product from Panasonic. This is my first digital camcorder and I am very pleased with the quality. Used it to do research on fiddler crabs, and needed zoom and picture quality and it was excellent. The picture was crystal clear as I took shots from 7-8 feet away and zoomed in to max. It also picks up sound even from a whisper and that was a great feature needed. Easy to use and easy to transfer video to TV viewing.
