Product Description
Suppress camera shake with the Mini DV camcorder Panasonic PV-GS80. Imagine taking video shots on a moving boat and then viewing them on a large-screen TV. They're likely to appear blurry from the boat's movement and from your unsteady hands. Panasonic solves this problem with O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which minimizes hand-shake in situations where it is most often a problem, such as with zoom shots - or on a moving boat. The system is optical, so there is no quality loss, and images look clear and beautiful on a big-screen TV.You'll rarely need to move in to get a close shot with the Panasonic PV-GS80. You can fill the screen with even a distant subject, thanks to a powerful 32x zoom. And because it's optical, there's no loss of clarity or quality. Whether you zoom in or pull back, images always retain their natural beauty.

5 out of 5 stars good for backup   December 24, 2008
great camera for backup and even to use as a second camera at weddings or events. the quality is there even if it's too small to use as a main camera.


2 out of 5 stars Don't   September 1, 2008
The Panasonic PV-GS80 is a good low end Camcorder, But it's big brother PV-GS85 is a much better buy. You can take pic's and save them on a SD card, It has more features than the 80. Don't buy the 80, buy the 85


5 out of 5 stars great camera   August 5, 2008
We purchased this camera for our Daughter and her husband for Christmas last year because we were expecting our first grandchild in January. It has continued to please them and the ease of use and picture quality is great!


4 out of 5 stars Great Value   May 21, 2008
This is my first video camera and I am happy with it. I bought it because of the band name combined with price and reviews. It isn't the best, from what I understand, but it does everything I need it to do. Don't expect to go make a movie with it but it will capture your important moments just fine.

I am thinking about upgrading to an external mic but I can't seem to find the right one for the right price. So for now, it does just fine.



5 out of 5 stars Great for family trips.   May 2, 2008
This is a great little camera. We bought it a week before we left for a road trip. It is really easy to use. It's light and small, and takes a good picture. We used it both in the car and outside in the wind. It picks up voices really well and doesn't get a lot of road or wind noise. It has a good zoom and the LCD screen is really helpful. We travel a lot and are really glad we got this camera!!!
