About this product

Product Information

Panasonic PV-GS85 is a powerful 32x optical zoom camcorder with O.I.S.Panasonic's O.I.S. minimizes the handshake that can be such a problem with handheld shots. Because Panasonic's system is optical, there is no image quality degradation. When you're shooting a still picture, the MEGA O.I.S. system automatically activates, doubling the corrective power. With O.I.S. and MEGA O.I.S., the camcorder is equipped for clear, beautiful shooting of both motion and still pictures.This 32x zoom can fill the screen with even a distant subject. Not only is this lens the powerful zoom offered in a home-use digital camcorder, but it also features low distortion. And because it's optical, there is no quality loss - you get the images in all their natural beauty.The Pure Color Engine converts the CCD output signal from a complementary color signal into an RGB signal at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal. This innovative engine also achieves truly superb color reproduction for high-zoomed pictures.This model offers the High-Picture-Quality Wide Mode, which produces images that make for beautiful, dramatic viewing on a wide-screen TV. The image is processed on 16:9 area of the CCD. Because the image decoded has the same proportions as your wide-screen TV, there is virtually no picture quality degradation. You get beautiful images and all the excitement and dynamism on either a wide 16:9 screen TV or a conventional 4:3 TV. This model also features a wide 2.7-inch LCD, making it easier to frame shots when you're shooting in 16:9 mode. You can enjoy shooting wide, and viewing wide.You can snap off a still picture (VGA) while continuing to record motion pictures. You don't even have to change recording modes. The motion pictures are recorded onto tape, the still is recorded onto the SD Memory Card.

    You can be confident with this seller. You'll be happy with this vendor. I had a small issue related to shipping and packaging. He promptly rectified situation with fairness and did it quickly. He was very responsive to my questions and comments. I would purchase from him again and I recommend him and the product I purchased. I have included a picture of the small problem. He was quick to stand by it and resolve it.. Bravo

    The product was ok, not with the cost I paid for it

    I got this camera so I can transfer my old movies to my computer. The first few takes it did great but some of the tapes had no sound. We tried everything but nothing works. We got another camcorder and we realized that it was the camcorder that was not transferring sound. We copy the movies over then use the other camcorder to redo the once’s that’s had no sound.

    Works as intended

    I was super relieved that the camera functioned as intended when received. I did have to purchase the charger for it to function while also capturing DV Tapes, and purchased an additional battery charger for recording onto tape. Works!

    I needs we this to record my old mini DV...

    I needs we this to record my old mini DV cassettes onto a drive. This does the job and looks like it’s in good condition and would still work great as a camcorder.
