Panasonic PV-GS320 3.1MP 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Camcorders
from: Panasonic


Great Camcorder w/ Fantastic Image Quality - Recommended

The "Panasonic GS320" has proven to be a really solid camcorder for use in our small business (used for making instructional videos). We were looking for a second camera that could come close to the image quality of our primary high-end Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom. The GS320 exceeded our expectations in our studio, with the following observations:

Pros -
Outstanding image quality from the 3-CCD sensors
Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) works very well
Accurate auto White Balancing
Conveniently placed controls
Great battery life

Cons -
"Cold" Accessory Shoe
No built in light
No ... Read More:

Sony HDR-UX20 4MP DVD Hybrid Plus High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 8GB Hard Drive Camorder & 15x Optical Zoom

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Camcorders
from: Sony

March 05, 2008
I've had the HDR-UX20 for about 2 weeks now and have used it to record my sons football games and daughters volleyball games. I record the games to an 8GB duo pro memory stick at SP HQ quality and have been satisfied with the results. When I get home I insert the memory stick into a Sony VRD-MC5 DVD recorder, push record and copy the video to DVD. The mini DVD's only record about 20 mins of HQ video so I use full size DVD's on the MC5.

I like the versatility of being able to record in HD, and recording on the internal memory, memory stick, or DVD. I had my last video camera for 7 years, so I wanted something that gave me maximum flexibility in recording media, and wanted to be able to record in HD and SD.

The unit is built ... Read More:

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 30-Minutes (Black)

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Camcorders
from: Pure Digital Technologies, Inc.


I absolutely love my Flip Ultra Camcorder! I highly recommend it! I am one of those people who just wants something handy for those special moments that just jump up and demand video. I hate lugging anything big around and this fits in my purse perfectly. I don't expect to make movies like DeMille or Spielberg, I just want to record family and fun and this fits the bill! I've taken my recorder to the river (highly recommend the aquapac), to Disneyland, weddings, sledding in the snow with the grandkids and videotaping just how darn cute they are! My grandkids are always asking me to videotape them now and make a movie-they think they are stars! I also have to tell you that customer service is great! I originally had a problem with my flip video ... Read More:

I would recommend this camera. The record button is a little too small, but other than that it's a nice little camcorder.

DXG DXG-566V 5.0 Megapixel High-Definition Digital Video Camera In Box (Silver)

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Camcorders
from: DXG


I thought I was getting a great deal. And I did, at $150 or so for an HD camcorder. And man, this thing is small. This DXG 566 takes decent video and I really like that it is at a high resolution. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it's good. To test it out, I went to a race at NJ Motorsports Park. I stood in the grass about 40 yards from the cars and it went well. You can actually see the car numbers clearly (not bad for having no REAL zoom). I think something must have broken, though, because I can't playback video or pictures on the camera. It's odd because I took great care of it, too.

Pros:
High resolution
Very affordable
Compact

Cons:
Moderate quality for HD
My on-board playback button is ... Read More:

Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Camcorders
from: Canon


I think this is an awesome camcorder for its intended target market and purpose. The results are pristine and every button and function just works great without being overcomplicated. This is one camera where you don't have to read the instruction manual to figure it out. You have to maintain and clean the camera from time-time to deliver maximum potential, but it's not a hassle. And don't switch tapes often - stick with one brand. This is a camcorder I cannot do without.
