Panasonic PV-GS85 Review

The PV-GS85 Overview: When you carry the tiny Panasonic PV-GS80 Palmcorder Camcorder with you, you’ll capture every unique moment on film. This amazingly small and sharp digital camcorder gives you clear, sharp, stable photos and video. The Panasonic PV-GS85’s optical image stabilizer and 32x optical zoom ensure you always get the best shot. Record to your MiniDV tape or store images to an SD Card with the built-in slot. Panasonic PV-GS85’s Professional tools like a noise reducing microphone, low-light shooting (with MagicPix) and white balancing make this little camcorder competitive with bigger models. When you see how compact it is, you’ll wonder why you bought anything else. It’s the Palmcorder that does it all.

Panasonic PV-GS85 Highlights

Advanced Imaging Technologies for Capturing Beautiful Videos

Pure Color Engine The Panasonic PV-GS85’s Pure Color Engine converts the CCD output signal from a complementary color signal into an RGB signal at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal. This innovative engine also achieves truly superb color reproduction for high-zoomed pictures.

Panasonic PV-GS85 Have 32x optical zoom Panasonic PV-GS85’s 32x zoom can fill the screen with even a distant subject. This lens is not only the powerful zoom offered in a home-use digital camcorder, it also features low distortion. And because it’s optical, there is no quality loss — you get the images in all their natural beauty.

So Easy to Use, Even Beginners Get Beautiful Results

Large 2.7-inch widescreen LCD The large, 2.7-inch LCD monitor displays bright, clear images. You can see even tiny details. It’s more fun to shoot and view images on a wide monitor, and it’s easier to picture just how the images will look on a TV screen.

One-Touch Navigation for easy, intuitive setting and shooting With One-Touch Navigation, just press the center of the joystick to display an operating menu. The operations you use most often are right on the monitor, so it’s easy to change settings or operate the camera without looking away from your subject.

Mode dial Just turn the dial and you’re ready to shoot or to view the images afterward. Just rotate the dial with your fingertip to select the icon that corresponds to the mode you want.

Trilingual menu The menu can be displayed in any of the following three languages. You can switch it to view all menus in the language you prefer for easy, comfortable operation.

The Joy of Creating Videos that Perfectly Capture a Scene

Still picture recording This Panasonic PV-GS85 digital camcorder also records still pictures. Panasonic PV-GS85 captures all of the outstanding detail, color and sensitivity.

Soft Skin mode When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside of the skin.

MagicPix for low lighting Leave the light off. MagicPix gives you images with color even in dim lighting (1 lux). Light is gentle and easy on the eyes, so you can snap shots of sleeping children without waking them up.

More Convenient Shooting Functions

Instant LCD/EVF saves battery life When you open the LCD, the power switches on. Shut it and the power goes off. Pull out the viewfinder and the power switches on. Store it and the power goes off. Instant LCD/EVF reduces the time required for operating the camera.

Easy Networking — For More Fun When the Shooting’s Done
