 Wonderful camera- very flexable July 7, 2009

I've owned this camera for almost 4 years now, and love it. Never had a problem with it. It's a very flexible camera capable of taking decent still photos and great video quality. The 3ccd allows great color processing, and the large LCD display makes it easy to see what's going on in filming or playback. Battery lasts a VERY long time with the LCD screen closed.

Hi,
The capacitor on my charger seems to have burst from a power surge. I'm looking for a new charger for the GS400 and I read somewhere that it uses the PV-DAC13 KIT.
Does anyone here know about this and any pointers to locating its whereabouts on the net might be helpful.
So far I've tried a lot of websites and in most places it's out of stock. I'm trying to figure if I'm looking for the right thing in the first place.
Thanks in advance.
Best Choice by FAR!! July 6, 2005

If you're looking for a cheap little camera of so-so quality, this is not it. But if you want crisp, clear, vibrant photos, stunning videos, and a solid camera you can rely on, this is the one you've been searching for!
I shopped and compared for a LONG time before finally choosing this camera, and I am SOOO glad I did!! My friends and family all have the smaller, cheaper camcorders, and yes, I looked at those too. But this one, with 3CCD and 12x OZ beats them all, hands down. The pictures are beautiful - the zoom is awesome - and the video is the best! The controls are easy to find and use, and there are many options to choose from. The LCD is large and clear, and it turns in different directions so is great for viewing from other angles (like from in front of the camera!). The remote control is indispensable, not only for recording or taking shots, but also for playing back the videos on TV.
I would highly recommend getting an accessory kit like the one I purchased from Digital Innovations. The tripod alone is a must-have, and all the lenses etc. are great add-ons. You can view it here: http://www.digitalinnovationsny.com/items/item.aspx?itemid=2764945
I'm not a pro' at digital cameras by any means. This is actually my first one! But I've compared my shots and videos to those by other, more experienced users (with cheaper cams) and mine are so much better that those people ask ME to take pix and videos FOR them to get the higher quality!!
And because I'm a "newbie" I can tell you that it does take a little time to read the book and learn how to use the camera, but all the main functions are VERY easy - even for me!
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars because the GS400 easily deserves twice that. I know it's a little expensive, but if I had a quarter for every time I've said, "I LOVE this camera!" it would have paid for itself by now! lol
Tape Transport Problem no more! April 20, 2005

About a month ago, pretty much the entire tape transport problem disappeared. Check out the tape transport forum listing at Pana3ccduser.com. I got mine on April fools day and it is the best camcorder ever. Picture quality is amazing, on par with any camcorder up to around $2000. The 16:9 mode is better than most camcorders under $2500 and the Procinema mode is also a great bonus. The LCD is very bright. 4 way ring works great as well. I agree with camcorderinfo.com that's it's the best value in a camcorder ever made.
