Reviews on Panasonic Palmcorder PV-GS320 Digital Camcorder - 2.7" LCD - CCD
Nice MiniDV camcorder
Strengths: Effective optical image stabilization and big 2.7-inch LCD screen.
Weakness: Battery life is short.
This camcorder is light and handy for traveling. The camcorder's menus were also easy to operate via the controls. I can use both FireWire and USB ports for transferring video to my PC. The most point is that I like its three CCDs (charge-coupled devices) function for handling primary colors individually. Nice camcorder!
Great 3CCD Camcorder under $400 but downgrade from...
Strengths: Bright & Sharp Image quality. Excellent low light images. Great Zoom quality upto 700x in digital. OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer). 3.1M pixel photos. Easy to use Joystick control.
Weakness: No SD Card included, cannot use 4GB SD. No video recording on SD Card. No ext. microphone jack. No digital effects feature. No backlight for joystick. No built-in flash. Cheap plastic body.
I purchased this Panasonic PV-GS320 DVC (Digital Video Camcorder) for $379.79. Our primary use is for family events and our two young daughters not for professional use. After 5 months of research, I narrowed it down to this Panasonic PV-GS320 (3CCD) and the Sony HDR-HC7 (High Def, miniDV). Expert reviews often compared the 3CCD to the HD miniDV's 1CCD video quality. Frankly, I liked the HDR-HC7...
Panasonic PV-GS320 Camcorder
Strengths: MiniDV format, 3 CCD, small & lightweight.
Weakness: No external microphone connection.
The PV-GS320 is the only 3CCD model remaining in the Panasonic consumer line that shoots video to MiniDV tape. This model provides top DV quality for a reasonable price. The PV-GS320 is a compact, light camcorder that sits easily in a small hand. The normal operating controls such as zoom, photoshot, record/pause and joystick are easily accessed. Video resolution is enhanced by the use of optical...
Great leisure Camcorder at a very competitive price
Strengths: 3CCD and good lens, producing excellent picture quality. Good low light performance Easy to use and ergonomically convenient
Weakness: Awkward lens cap Some features eliminated from previous models as Panasonic targets mid-level consumers
I don't see myself moving away from Mini DV anytime soon, despite all manufacturers de-emphasizing it in favour of hard drive or DVD models, as well as of course HD. I know popular fads often prevail, but Mini DV picture quality is so much superior to hard drive or DVD format, and cheaper than HD, that it is surprising it has apparently lost public popularity. Anyhow, with the shrinking of the...
PV-GS320 Mini DV Digital Camcorder good little miniDV
Strengths: Brilliant colors, light weight, sharp clear images, both 4:3 and 16"9 modes
Weakness: Extended life battery makes eye piece unusable, no mic jack
I have had this camcorder for a short time, but used to fairly heavily. The quality is amazing as the outside still pictures and the video inside and out are extremely sharp. I have not found any real complaints or issues with the camcorder at all. After looking at some hard disk Camcorders, I felt that for the money this was the best bang for the buck and so far I think it was a great choice.
The best in its class
Strengths: very sharp pictures, good low light performance, good price
Weakness: the pc port is located on the back, you need to remove the battery to connect it to PC.
If you are a point and shooter and looking for great picture quality, then you cannot find a better camcorder in this price range. Of course for prosumers it lacks a lot of options compare to GS250 and even GS300. Eventhough the miniDV format is phasing out, it still provides the best picture quality and very easy storage and editing options. The only competetor for this camcorder is sony HC96...
PV-GS320 Camcorder
Strengths: Nice construction, good size, easy layout of controls
Weakness: Camera strap has a tendency to flop around on my hand
I moved from a Canon which after many years of service, had to be retired because it made no sense to repair. When it came time to look for a new camcorder, all the reviews placed the GS320 at the top. After using the camcorder for about a month, I would have to agree. The quality of the video is excellent including low light. The controls are thoughtfully designed and after getting used to the...
Too soon to tell
Strengths: Small, light weight, easy to use
Weakness: The Operating Instructions tend towards being difficult to read. A/V cable does not fit the camera. Firewire cable should be included.
I will have to use the camera some more and go get the cables that will help the camera work with my TV and my computer. Hopefully, with knowledge and experience, my opinion will change for the better
HIGH QUALITY VIDEO
Strengths: Small and Compact. Great Video at a low price.
Weakness: none
I purchased this pv-gs320 for my sons wedding gift and video tapped his wedding. The results were amazing. The wedding was outdoors and the recepition indoors and even the indoor video was very good. I used Windows Movie maker to edit and results were fantastic. The audio was good enough to get even the wedding vows. Everyone was amazed at the video quality. Do not hesitate to buy this camcorder...
Panasonic PV-GS320
THE GOOD: Impressive video quality; decent low-light performance; very effective optical image stabilization. THE BAD: No built-in flash or video light; no manual focus ring; no mic input or headphone output; all controls are menu-based. THE BOTTOM LINE: Delivering high-quality MiniDV footage and decent still images, the Panasonic PV-GS320 should appeal to advanced amateurs searching for a...

Compared with other 3-CCD MiniDV camcorders, the Panasonic PV-GS320 is a bargain. Despite some design quirks, the video performance and high-quality video and still shots make this camcorder a good choice.

Quality Digital Camcorder
Strengths: High quality lens. Compact size and light weight.
Weakness: SD card compatibility.
I bought this camcorder to replace our old 8mm analog camcorder. It is very small and light. Its lens is made by the legendary Leica, one key factor in my choosing it over several other camcorders in its price range. Its user-interface is intuitive. Overall its features seem to be well designed. To my surprise for some reason it does not accept my Kingston Elite-Pro 2GB SD card (it flashes "card...
