Review:

The Panasonic PV-GS65 offers a mix of outstanding and average features. Its three-CCD optics capture footage with superb color, even in low-light conditions, but its mere 10X zoom is disappointing. Still, with excellent video quality, decent automatic performance, and above-average manual control, this compact MiniDV camcorder offers a lot of shooting muscle for the money.
