Panasonic PV-GS120

REVIEW

By Glenn Menin

The surprisingly affordable Panasonic PV-GS120 is the only camcorder we've tested to date that boasts three-CCD video for under $1,000. It produces well-exposed digital video with accurate colors. Unfortunately, the sharpness of the video leaves much to be desired.
