Rating: Summary: Good and simple - gets the job done... Review: The optics on this camcorder don't make the rich colors I'm used to on my Sony Hi-8 8mm camcorder, but the camera is nice, lightweight and very easy to use. And the battery seems to last forever. DO NOT bother with the still photograph to SD card feature. There is *no* excuse for how bad the picture quality is. Get any cheap digital camera, if you want still pictures.You can find these for far less than the original US$600 MSRP now, which makes them a good deal...
Rating: Summary: Bring on the grain.... Review: The picture quality looks really good at 12 noon outside with no clouds but when you get it in a room with 60 watt light bulbs the picture gets really grainy... I ended up exchanging it for the sony TRV19. The TRV19 seems to have a cleaner and brighter picture.
Rating: Summary: Functional, Ergonomical and Some Nice Features Review: This digital camcorder has some nice features for its price range, including the non-glare LED lighting. Stills are 1.2 megapixel interpolation on SD media. Overall great product, easy to use, compact and loaded with features. Panasonic has great products. It's a great product that has good features and terrific quality of video and sound. A must have and must worth of checking out.
Rating: Summary: Dew detection problem Review: This is an awesome camera for families. We bought it after looking for 2 years. We love the lightweight capabilities and the rotating screen. With two very active boys it makes it easy to capture what is going on. We have had no trouble with the lighting features and the still images are great. While we aren't professional camera users by any means we do use the camcorder a lot and this one has been perfect.

Rating: Summary: Sadly Disappointed Review: Took this on trip of a lifetime to Japan. PV-DV203 didn't make it back alive. The miniDVs started popping out while recording and finally stopped recording altogether. Upon return, replaced PV-DV203 with the PV-GS15 and tried to run the miniDVs from the trip. Picture and sound quality terrible with a lot of skipping and poor auto-focus. Hoping PV-GS15 is an upgrade.
