Panasonic PV-GS31 Mini DV Digital Camcorder - Grainy & Pixelated

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: Save your money until you can purchase a better quality camcorder to preserve your memories.
Review: I bought this camera for $250 on Black Friday. It was replacing an old Sony 8mm. After much research it seemed that Mini DV was the way to go.

Any reviews you have read about poor quality film in low-light are NO exaggeration. The...

A good first mini DV camcorder

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for the average user looking to capture memories...it's not that expensive for a first unit and is worth the money
Review: My wife finally pushed hard enough to get me to upgrade from our Hi8 big camcorder to a new Mini DV camcorder. I did quite a bit of research...looked at Sony, Canon, JVC and Pansonic primarily. Decided I didn't like the Sony's because of the touch...

DO NOT GET THIS

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2007
Review: this camera is good if you outdoors and in good light. otherwise forget it. low light is exaggerated to darker. the light is good for subjects only a 2.5 feet away. and the light makes everything blueish and the white stabilizer doesn't correct it...

Panasonic Digital PalmCorder PV-GS31- first impressions

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: I wanted something I could use with my laptop and I got laptop and camera for less than $1000. I am still learning about the camera.
Review: I bought an open box unit 2 days ago from Best buy for $311 and they tossed in a 3 pack of DV tape as we thought it was missing the remote control, CD and something else that was pictured in the manual. It turns out nothing was missing but the GS-35...

Best camera for your money!

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: HIGHLY RECOMMEND for family videos and recreational outings.
Review: I researched high and low for the best bang for your buck digital camcorder. This is one of two or three cameras that can't be beat for the price. I paid $259 after my rebate, that's including shipping! I almost bought the Panasonic GS19 but I...

Very Good Basic Camcorder

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: A nice camcorder for most users without going overboard on features.
Review: This is a very good basic camcorder. Yes, the low-light capability isn't all that good, but most cameras in this price range don't do it well either. My main purpose for this camera was to shoot nice video and then import it into my computer for...

Overall a good buy

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2006
Review: Based on my tech-savvy brother's advice, we decided to go with a mini-DV camera and came across this one which was a great deal. The battery life is adequate, we've had no problems, but the low-light capabilities leave a lot to be desired. Other...

Good Camera for the money

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2005
Review: Bought mine on Black Friday at Best Buy for $ 250.00. That to me is what it is worth. I used it for my Grandson's birthday party and it did fairly well, but my old VHS-c does do a lot better in the lower light conditions. It is light weight and easy...

Panasonic PV-GS31 a good buy

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: This a good camera to buy when you are on a budget.
Review: I bought this camera with the money I received from my family for Christmas. I had about $500 dollars to spend, but after researching camcorders I realized I did not need to spend that much for what my needs where. This camera fits me perfectly. I...
