Panasonic PV-GS35 Review:

The Panasonic PV-GS35 creates the most vivid, true-to-life pictures with a remarkable degree of depth and presence. The Panasonic PV-GS35’s 30x optical and 1000x digital zoom deliver high-quality digital still and moving images for novices and professionals alike. Electronic Image Stabilization(EIS) provides you with perfect pictures and video. Soft Skin Detail creates a realistic skin tone Records to SD card Digital Still Image Capture.

The new Panasonic PV-GS35 camcorder models were developed to maximize the quality of the video recording by concentrating on those features that consumers will use most often. One such feature is the image-enhancing MagicPix, which creates rich videos under low-light conditions. An Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) system compensates for hand and camcorder jitter.

A digital still camera feature can be used to snap still images and save them to an SD Memory Card, while USB capability provides a convenient way to transfer digital video and still images to a PC for archiving, e-mailing, and more. The Panasonic PV-GS35 also includes USB 2.0 high speed with Motion DV Studio video-editing PC software for editing video footage.

I just got back from my local electronics store which, to my surprise, had the Panasonic PV-GS35 in stock and on sale. I was very pleased with the ease of use and accuracy of the thumbstick control. Though, the menu button was a bit out of reach for my thumb thus requiring me to use my other hand to push it. The built-in LED lights help shed some light on dark situations, but I noticed an even greater benefit from the increase in gain when the light was switched on. The lens used on Panasonic PV-GS35 is out-of-sight! Not only does it offer high telephoto optical zoom, it offers what few other camcorders out there have: built-in wideangle. The lens is 1.9-57mm which equates roughly to a 35mm equivalent of 35-1040mm. So, go ahead, shoot video indoors and get the whole group in the shot at once!
