| The Bottom Line | The Panasonic PV-GS80 is a serviceable budget camcorder, but better choices are out there. | Canon's new MiniDV top model, the ZR850, continues the ZR tradition of offering affordable, easy-to-use wide-screen movie-making, though low-light performance is still subpar. | Delivering high-quality MiniDV footage and decent still images, the Panasonic PV-GS320 should appeal to advanced amateurs searching for a tape-based camcorder. | The Panasonic PV-GS85 is a serviceable budget camcorder, but better choices are out there. | As a relatively inexpensive DVD camcorder with solid, though not remarkable, performance, the Panasonic VDR-D210 is a decent choice for video snapshooters. | Basic specs |
