Description:
Panasonic's PV-DV101 is a great place to start if you want to dip your toes into the digital video river. The camcorder includes a 20x optical zoom lens with digital image stabilization. The stabilizer works for both playback and recording, so if you decide to save your batteries when you're recording, you have the option of applying stabilization to your footage at a later date. To help you shoot good footage, the PV-DV101 features a five-mode program AE. Simply put, the program AE sets the white balance, shutter speed, and other camera functions for a variety of possible shooting conditions. So, if you set it to sports, all the settings will be adjusted to shoot action footage correctly. In addition to the shooting modes, there are a number of digital effects, including sepia and monotone, which can add a little spice to your movies. There's also a digital still mode that record onto the MiniDV tape.
