I decided to pick up a camcorder for an upcoming vacation, so I started doing some research. I read all of the reviews I could find, did side-by-side comparisons with the camcorders in my price range, and went to a local shop to check out a bunch of them in person. I finally decided on the GS35,... Read full review »

Pros A great zoom, small, weight, good capability - in sunlight only. Good sound.

Cons Forget about using the GS35 indoors/night: Grainy details & Washed out colours.

Recommended it? No

The software that is included works okay but isn't the greatest for editing and producing quality movies. It is very hard to understand the directions because... Read full review »

I was looking at the Panasonic SDR-H18 and the Sony DCR-SR42. I originally purchased the Sony, but ended up returning the camera after reading some poor reviews about its video stability (never opened the box). So I purchased the Panasonic and so far I'm really pleased.

The camera is very... Read full review »
