Editorial Review:
The PV-GS400, with its 3CCD Camera System, reproduces color in great fidelity by using a separate CCD for reds, greens and blues. It's the same 3CCD technology used in Panasonic professional broadcast equipment, resulting in 540 lines of breathtaking resolution. You can count on Panasonic 3CCD Digital Camcorders to give you colors that are as rich and vibrant as your life.

Wonderful camera- very flexable I've owned this camera for almost 4 years now, and love it. Never had a problem with it. It's a very flexible camera capable of taking decent still photos and great video quality. The 3ccd allows great color processing, and the large LCD display makes it easy to see what's going on in filming or playback. Battery lasts a VERY long time with the LCD screen closed.
Best digital Recorder on market Very easy to use and perfect for my honeymoon vacation because of its compact size. We are very happy with this purchase.

I'm trying to figure if I'm looking for the right thing in the first place. Thanks in advance.
Best Choice by FAR!! If you're looking for a cheap little camera of so-so quality, this is not it. But if you want crisp, clear, vibrant photos, stunning videos, and a solid camera you can rely on, this is the one you've been searching for!
I shopped and compared for a LONG time before finally choosing this camera, and I am SOOO glad I did!! My friends and family all have the smaller, cheaper camcorders, and yes, I looked at those too. But this one, with 3CCD and 12x OZ beats them all, hands down. The pictures are... more info
