Panasonic PV-GS80 Details
Editors' Comments
It's small, but it's got plenty of power to capture sharp, high-quality home videos that you'll enjoy for years to come. The Panasonic PV-GS80 camcorder records directly to MiniDV tape, and while it may not be as versatile as newer media like memory cards, it's a reliable standard that's familiar and easy to use. The PV-GS80 features optical image stabilization, which you'll need when you use the long-range 32x optical zoom to record far-off subjects and scenes.
